        Again: what do you mean by emulator ? Do you mean your virtual machine ?

          Oh, my apologies, i'm referring to the Qt creator emulator.

          At the point of installation, there's an option to install emulator so I can compile & run everything in Qt Creator itself.

            What Qt Creator emulator ?

            Qt Creator itself is an IDE

              oh, okies, let me try again, it's the Qt setup (via the installer), then under Qt Embedded, there're a few options for Boot to Qt Software Stack 5.7.0.2, that includes BSP like BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi 3 etc.. And one of the options includes Emulator which i'd like to install as well. When I selected this option and click next, the error message prompts:

              "VirtualBox was not found on your computer. It is needed to install the Emulator of this SDK. Install VirtualBox first or deselect all Emulator components."

                @embdev Well, the error messages already says what you have to do. Did you try to install VirtualBox?

                  Actually I already had virtualbox installed on Windows; somehow the installer can't detect the software

                    You are installing Qt in a an Ubuntu in Virtual Box. That Ubuntu has absolutely no idea it is running inside a virtual machine.

                    You are currently expecting that the Linux Qt installer detects your Windows installed Virtual Box from within a Linux guest and use it inside that guest which is just not possible at all.

                      Actually previously when installing on 32-bit Ubuntu, with the emulator option selected, the boot2qt was installed on virtualbox automatically but now when I tried to install the emulator in 64-bit Ubuntu, virtualbox was somewhat not detected.

                        @embdev Is your 64-bit Ubuntu running inside a virtual machine in VirtualBox? If so then as @SGaist said it just cannot work.

                          @jsulm yes you're right, my Ubuntu is running inside my virtual machines. Perhaps slip off my mind, I might have installed my Qt previously in the windows environment, that explains why the boot2qt was installed into the virtualbox itself.

                          Thanks for the clarification!
