I noticed that it said that VERR_ACCESS_DENIED was the error code, which caused me to think that it needed admin permissions, so I re-ran VirtualBox using "Run as Administrator" but it gave me the same error when attempting to install the upgrade for the extension pack. How do I fix this?Failed to install the Extension Pack C:/Users/Ben Hutchinson/AppData/Local/Temp/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.32.vbox-extpack.
The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: Failed to rename the extension pack directory: VERR_ACCESS_DENIED
VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: If the problem persists, try running the command: VBoxManage extpack cleanup
rcExit=1.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManagerWrap
Interface: IExtPackManager {70401eef-c8e9-466b-9660-45cb3e9979e4}

I just upgraded VBox, and when I ran the upgraded VBox it said I had an outdated extension pack. It then gave me a dialog box where I could download and install the new extension pack. However, after downloading it, when it actually attempted to install the upgraded extension pack, it gave me this error.

Re: How do I get VirtualBox to install the extension pack?
Sometimes AV software or aggressively paranoid host OS security settings can cause such problems.
Just go delete the folder C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\ExtensionPacks. That will force you to eliminate any permission problems needed to accomplish that task. The extension pack will then happily install.
