Hi,

I've tried a nuimber of fixes for this but to no avail.

I'm getting error codes 2502 and 2503 when I try to install VirtualBox on my Lenovo laptop.

It runs Windows 10 as the OS.

I have tried re-registering the installer and running malware cleaner and CC Cleaner as well but it sill won't install.

Am I missing something obvious?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the Virtualbox installer is really a Microsoft program that works with the Windows MSI installer database. Google for how to enable MSI logging, then try the installation again. If it fails, please post the log as a zip file.

I have two other links to suggest. See also if you have any corrupted MSI database files:
