Missing Dependencies Python Core / win32api

Okay, actually resolved this issue:

Warning: There was an error checking the latest version of pip

by typing into command prompt the following:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

However, I am STILL getting the original message when trying to install Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.0.6.

Missing Dependencies Python Core / win32 api

:cry:

Hi @Lisa ,
Where are you trying to install?

Did you try to install the older version of the VirtualBox?

c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

I meant Mac or Windows? (Please share the details about the version.)

Thanks everyone. I faced the issue (Win 11/ Python 3.11/VB 7) while installing VB (latest). Then I installed pywin32 using Naveen’s help and now everything works fine. Great community!

  1. Install the Python latest version, you can download from the python website (Download Python | Python.org)
  2. After installed the Python, run py -m pip install pywin32 in cmd

this worked perfectly

This also worked for me

Thanks! This worked for me too. I still don’t understand why my original installation of Python with pywin32 installed through PyCharm didn’t work. Any clues?

This works perfectly. I was getting syntax errors in CMD (normal and Admin). I navigated to the path mentioned by you (mine was bit different in the end) and launched CMD without admin priveleges.

It installed the package without any complaints.

Thank you for the help.

yah It worked successfully. I really appreciate.

Thank you this worked for me!

…how to add pip to path in Windows 10?

i tried that and still got this

I had to put
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python**\Scripts
for it to work. Might be a spelling error.

The easiest way to install python, and many other things in Windows like terraform, virtualbox, vagrant etc.etc. is to use Chocolatey.

Search for packages

Then you start a command prompt As Administrator and simply run e.g

choco install -y python3

or

choco install -y virtualbox

etc.
