same for me (from Version 4.1.:
But I got a bluescreen during installation.I don't know why - my HW schould be ok (Dell Latitude E6520) all drivers are uptodate.I was using VBox(VirtualBox-4.0.2-69518-Win.exe) and I decided to upgrade it to a new version. So I downloaded the new release and tried to install. The issue is that the installation failed and any version of VBox can be installed for me now! Who can help to to use VBox on my machine.....Following is some details:
(1) The installer will "roll back" after "copying new files" and then failed with "Oracle VM.. Setup Wizard ended prematurely", then pop up an error window of "Virtual Box Installer", the message is :
Installation failed! Error: fatal error during installation.
(2) My OS is win7 64bit.
(3) This seems to be a general issues met by many users, but I really do not know how to resolve. I spent a WHOLE day to do attempts and cannot make it work!
I managed to install an older version 4.xxx.
Spending a hole day trying everything mentioned in the thread. I cleaned the registry and filesystem for all entries relating vbox and tempfiles. Trying again like danjah:
It did not work!I restarted and glumly re-tried installation of 4.1.12... and it worked (!!!!!). Perhaps @Spinone's solution didn't kick in until after a restart? Not sure, but I highly recommend restarting after trying that Certificate solution.
But some how by installing again the older Version (which previously worked) I got a bluescreen again. Now even this Version doesn't install anymore (rollback). All I get is a rollback or bluescreen for Versions newer to the allready installed ones.
For now I stick to the Vresion 4.1.4, afraid having to go back even more... (or vmware)
Thinking I'm not the only one here, with this Problem - otherwise I would reinstall Windows, but since the last install is just 3 month ago I don't think it will change so much....
By the way:
- Win 7 Prof x64 SP1 german
- MS Visual Studio 2010
- DevExpress
- G Data Antivirus (guard deactivated during install)
- Domain

EDIT: erfolgreich
Als ich nach dem Wochenende bereit war VMware zu installieren und vbox deinstalliert habe, gab ich mir noch einen Versuch.
Dieses Mal habe ich mittels msconfig.exe alle nicht Windows Dienste und Startprogramme deaktiviert, neu gestartet, neu installiert und siehe da: Installation war erfolgreich
Ob es nun an den Diensten oder an dem letzen Versuch mit mentaler Drohung zur Konkurenz zu wechseln lag... we will never know
