I was asked to update the extension pack but it failed as follows:
So, as I don't need it for BOINC projects, I figured I would uninstall it and got a similar error:Failed to install the Extension Pack C:/Users/Peter/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.8.vbox-extpack.
The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: Failed to rename the extension pack directory: VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS
rcExit=1.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManager
Interface: IExtPackManager {3295e6ce-b051-47b2-9514-2c588bfe7554}
I'm a novice with VM's really so am wondering if I need to worry about this. I have tried removing the VM and uninstalling everything then starting over again but it would seem that the uninstaller doesn't remove everything as the new VB started up in exactly the same situation.Failed to uninstall the Extension Pack Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.

I'm wondering if this is a known issue?
Tried this in Safe Mode too, same error.
By the way your board profile settings wont let me input my installed VB version number in the appropriate box.
