Read the manual and ask again, if you have a problem.

VirtualBox is just an application program.

Download the Windows version of VirtualBox from here.

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Run the downloaded installer.

When VirtualBox starts, click or Help or press F1.

The version has to match the OS on which the application is to be installed. If you want to install VirtualBox on a Windows machine, you need the Windows version of VirtualBox.
