Hi,

I am also facing the same problem. I am using the Windows Vista OS and
the same version of the Virtual Box.

Also I am trying to install the version 4.3 of the sage virtual box
image

On opening the  ovf file I find a lot of references to vmware.com as
follows

xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/schema/ovf/1/envelope"; xmlns:ovf="http://
www.vmware.com/schema/ovf/1/envelope" xmlns:rasd="http://
schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/
CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData" xmlns:vssd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/
wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>

  </References>

  </Section>
  <Section xsi:type="ovf:NetworkSection_Type">
    <Info>Logical networks used in the package</Info>
    <Network ovf:name="HostOnly">

Could this be the cause of the problem? Please can someone help?
