It's fine. Quoting from the VirtualBox source: "The setting of Metric is not very important functionality, So we will not break installation process due to this error."

Thank you for help.

There is an other question: I run NetAdpInstall.exe again after NetAdpUninstall.exe to reinstall vbox, get error:

D:\VBoxer\Win32\Debug\VBox-x64>NetAdpInstall.exe
adding host-only interface..
NetAdp will be installed ...

Installing 1 INF files ...

Installing INF file "D:\VBoxer\Win32\Debug\VBox-x64\VBoxNetAdp.inf" ...

Install failed, hr (0x8007007e)

VBoxNetCfgWinInstallComponent failed, hr (0x8007007e)

Installation failed, rolling back installation set ...

Rollback complete

error installing VBoxNetAdp (0x8007007e)


Why?

Have you tried rebooting after NetAdpUninstall and running NetAdpInstall after the reboot?
