Greetings!

After a relatively clean install of OpenIndiana (x86) (installed yesterday, updated today), I attempted to install the vanilla VirtualBox from virtualbox.org, and this failed due to unmet dependencies. I was then told in the OpenIndiana IRC to download a patched version (VirtualBox-5.1.6-SunOS-amd64-r110634.pkg) which installed perfectly. I then installed qt4 and tried to run VirtualBox. The following error dialogappeared:

- - -
Failed to create the VirtualBoxClient COM object.
The application will now terminate.

Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)
- - -

I then tried running VirtualBox as super-user and received the same error.

I was reminded to reboot OpenIndiana to make sure the vbox modules were loaded. Even after reboot, I still receive the error, both as standard and super users. The modules appear to be loaded:

- - -
$ modinfo -c
[...]
227 1 vboxdrv                          LOADED/INSTALLED
228          1 vboxnet                          LOADED/INSTALLED
[...]
231          1 vboxflt                          LOADED/INSTALLED
232          1 vboxusbmon                       LOADED/INSTALLED
233          1 vboxusb                          LOADED/INSTALLED
[...]

I was wondering if anyone had constructive thoughts about this problem? If you've received this error and fixed it, I would really appreciate your advice.

Thank you!
