Re: Can't install Virtualbox on Windows 10 64bits
Install issues:
First, you must be logged in on the account you will use to run your guests, and you must right-click the Virtualbox installer program and choose "Run As Administrator" from the right-click menu, even if your account is an administrator account.
Next, the Virtualbox installer is actually a Microsoft program, which uses the host's "MSI" system. If errors happen in the installation process, you must enable Microsoft's MSI logging and try the installer again (google how to enable MSI logging). If an error occurs, post the log here and on a Microsoft forum. Someone should be able to tell you what the problem is.
