I get the following error, every time I try to install VirtualBox 3.2.12 onto my Mac Mini running Mac OSX 10.6.5:
20/12/10 7:18:36 PM installd[1709] PackageKit: Install Failed: PKG: post-flight scripts for "org.virtualbox.pkg.virtualbox"

}

I've even tried uninstalling and then re-installing, including trying the install after a restart, but I still get the same error. VirtualBox seems to start after the failed install and I can start my VM, but I don't know why the install is failing.
Thanks
