Welcome to our forum. You might want to take this opportunity to browse the
Forum Posting Guide. This contains some useful tips on how to search for VBox knowledge and how to frame Qs.
If you do a search you will see that you are not the only one to ask for this. However, Windows 7 is a pre-beta release and therefore not supported as a host. The NT 6.1 kernel is sufficiently different from the NT 6 kernel for the install not to work.

It has been discussed before, when with 2.0.4 there was a mistake with the installer on 64 bit Windows Hosts.
