On Windows Hosts, Virtualbox must be Run As Administrator to install the Extension Pack. After the install, you should close Virtualbox, wait a minute, then re-open to clear Run-As-Admin privileges. Don't run VMs while running Virtualbox as Admin. (It may also not be possible to install the EP while VMs are running.)
