# Install Virtualbox 7 on Windows 11

Recently, Virtualbox 7 for Windows was released. When installing it, I noticed that the installer alerts of the absence of a Python library. Here I'll demonstrate how to install Python, the 'pywin32' module and finally Virtualbox 7.

## Install Win32API Module

Virtualbox 7 requires the Python 3 'pywin32' module. Once Python its installed correctly, install this module with the following command:

```python
pip install pywin32
```

## Install Virtualbox 7

Now after installing '**pywin32**' module, [download and install Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). After 'pywin32' it's installed, Virtualbox installer will not alert of 'pywin32' absence as before, and you may work with it without problems.
