Hello,

I had the same problem searching around for days.

The cause was NOT a installed / uninstalled Virtualbox BUT a portable one on the filesystem :-(

In my case i opened C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther{RANDOMSTRING}_APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml

and search for 'T_ANY_FMC_BlockingApplication" Value="TRUE"'

which found:

<Property Name="LowerCaseLongPathUnexpanded" Value="%programfiles(x86)%\linuxlive usb creator\tools\virtualbox\portable-virtualbox\app64\virtualbox.exe" Ordinal="1" />

Removing this files let me install 20H2.

    I tried looking in that *_APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml file, and found nothing.

    However, I did a global search for VirtualBox in my C drive, and found a file named that in a folder for LDPlayer (an android emulator for playing games on my PC). Uninstalling that did the trick.

    I followed this step and worked. Just go to "C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther" and delete it with Shift+del.

    Note: If you get a message that some file(s) are used by some program just skip this or these files.

    found it here:

    c:\program files\dnplayerext2\virtualbox.exe

    deleted:

    virtualbox.exe

    fixed! :)

    This resolved the problem for me. Simply deinstall the Linux Live Creator, it seems to have some connection to virtual box or at least uses the name inside its folder structure.

    Thanks Re-Ma-Co!
