Re: Failed to acquire the virtualbox COM object
It's not obvious, for me, what's seems to be the problem. Did the VirtualBox installation setup complete with success?

Re: Failed to acquire the virtualbox COM object
It seems to mean that someone is trying to run a bare VirtualBox executable on a PC where VirtualBox has not been installed, at least not for the current user.
The message means that the VirtualBox asked Windows to create a VirtualBox COM object using the rules defined by the VirtualBox installer, and the Windows COM API said "say what???". Which means that the installer hasn't been run.
