You can try to uninstall the first version and then install the new version.

What is the exact version number of the latest VirtualBox? Is it Version 3.2.2-62321?
Also it would help me to know the exact error as stated (complete) and whether you can install the older version and if it works.
Short answers and lack of information makes it hard to diagnose.

Also you can try something else. Right click on the install and then left click on install as admin and see if it will proceed.

OK so you can use 3.1.8 but it give you an error when updating. Stay on 3.1.8 and file a ticket at bugtracker.
I have seen 2 of these so far and the DEVs are looking into it but they are going to need some time, plus this is a weekend.

I solved this problem.

Maybe 3.2 versions has a some bug for non-English user name.

Virtualbox's installer is runed on "c:\Users\<UserID>\AppData" [On VISTA and win7 ]

But, it can not understand non-English UserID.

The solution is very easy.

1. Use guest account
or
2. change your UserID to English name

Cheers,
