Trouble with Extension Install

Post by J.Bach.87 »

Failed to install the Extension Pack C:/Users/justn/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.16.vbox-extpack.

The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: argv[0] does not match the executable image path: 'D:VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe' != 'D:\VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManagerWrap
Interface: IExtPackManager {edba9d10-45d8-b440-1712-46ac0c9bc4c5}
Hello. I am new to using VirtualBox and was hoping for some help with an issue I'm having. Every time I try to install the Extension, I keep getting this same error. I have already tried deleting the file, re downloading, reinstalling the main program. The versions for both the Program and extension match. I'm at best, an entry-level user as far as IT knowledge, so any suggestions would be of great help to me so that I can get back to work. Thank You.

99% you have a 3rd party antivirus (non-native Defender) that is overzealous and is trying to "protect" you. Uninstall it. You're going to be far better...
