Trying to follow the link on the download page for the 4.2.2. extension pack results in an error:

Error 6 (net ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The file or directory could not be found.

That's not the "official" location from via the website. In fact, that location is not referenced from the download page.

Try from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
The download link that uses is this: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... ox-extpack
And that is broken at the moment.

ANd curious - my install of 4.2.0 on Win7 claims to be the latest version when it plainly isn't. I wonder if that is somehow related to the broken link?

Apparently, the link on https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads has been fixed.
It now works just fine.
