try right-clicking the Virtualbox installer and Run As Administrator, even if you already have admin priveleges.

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:
