The Virtualbox installer is really a Microsoft program that works with the Windows MSI installer database.

Basic troubleshooting steps for Windows Installer

• Repair MSI (Windows Installer) 2.8.8.
• Windows Repair 4.5.1 (includes the above).

Please try this:
Make a new folder on your C drive to put the installer and the log it will make:
C:\VBinstall

Put the installer in the new folder. Open a Run-As-Admin command prompt. Drag-n-drop the installer on the Command Prompt window, then finish typing this in the command line:

"C:\VBinstall\VirtualBox-X.Y.Z-######-Win.exe"{space}--logging{space}--msi-log-file{space}"C:\VBinstall\textfile.txt"

So, as an example, for 6.1.36 it should've read:

"C:\VBinstall\VirtualBox-6.1.36-152435-Win.exe" --logging --msi-log-file "C:\VBinstall\msilog.txt"

Your version's numbers will be different, but you should follow the same pattern.

Also find this file:
C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log
