This is not a regression but an old problem, see for instance here. We were never able to reliably reproduce the problem.

1. I can give you an RDP session at evening (dedicated IP at home LAN)
-or-
2. Oracle buys TeamViewer license, and I can help at any time.

Debugging problems remote is always a nightmare.

I've wondered if it's an AV issue: installer creates temp folder, AV starts scanning temp folder, VirtualBox tries to rename folder but is blocked because the AV is still accessing the contents.
