Win7 X64 Pro Host + VirtualBox 5.1.4 can‘t install extension Pack

Post by drawpharos »

Host OS: Windows 7 professional SP1 64Bit
After installed VirtualBox 5.1.4 on windows 7 host machine, I created a virtual machine and enabled USB 3. Then I downloaded Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.4-110228.vbox-extpack and open it. But it only opened VirtualBox and didn't started the installation progress. the previous version (such as 5.1.2) would start install the extension pack immediately.

Anyone who knows where I done wrong?

Open VirtualBox. Go to Preferences, Extensions, Add new package (the icon on the right with the yellow triangle).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
