VirtualBox 3.0.2
Setup ended prematurely because of an error.
Can you point me to a log file so I can send you better info?
Vista 64 bit Home edition

Well....What was the error?
Also is the a new install or an upgrade?
Information would be in the Vista System logs of the failure.

Sorry, it was early in the morning...
Are there any other log files on the system other that the System Log Files?

This was an upgrade from version 2.2.0 r45946

Two errors in the system Application log files:

1) MSIInstaller Failed no more info.

2)

Two things that you can do to see if you can get this installed:

• 1. Right click on the install program and then left click on run as admin.
  or
  2a If that fails you need to reinstall version 2.2.0 and select repair. (DO NOT reboot)
  2b Run the version 2.2.0 install again and tell it to uninstall (DO NOT reboot)
  2c Run the new Version 3.0.2 install and see if it works (This time reboot)
