The Virtualbox installer is really a Microsoft program that works with the Windows MSI installer database. Google for how to enable MSI logging, then try the installation again. If it fails, please post the log as a zip file using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

I use

Code: Select all

VirtualBox-<version>-<revision>-Win.exe -extract
command to extract msi.

In my case, VBoxUSB.inf installation causes the error.
Unselecting the USB Driver installation option makes VirtualBox installation successful.
