VirtualBox 6.0.0 has been released so you should look to install that rather than using the release candidate. If the issue persists then creating a topic in the Windows host section of the forums.

In any case the error is straightforward - VirtualBox is not installed for the current user, and the cause of that would be nothing to do with the VirtualBox version.
