VirtualBox won't install!

Post by Slashee the Cow »

Okay, so I run the installer, agree with the license agreement, USB and networking support are on by default, leave the default shortcuts intact, then start it installing. It gets up to the point where I have to accept the non WHQL-d drivers (of course I do) then the setup just stops, and displays the message "Sun xVM VirtualBox setup ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again."

I've tried a few times, and the same thing happens every time. Can anyone help?
