The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: argv[0] does not match the executable image path: 'I:VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe' != 'I:\VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe'.

What is drive D: on your system? Try to install it from a subdirectory / folder and not from the root of a drive.

We found the bug in Virtualbox (triggered by installing it in the root directory of a drive on Windows). Will be fixed in 5.2.34 and 6.0.14.
