I have install VitualBox 4.3.10 on my Windows 7. When installing the above Extension Pack I get the following message:
Failed to install the Extension Pack C:/Users/PL Wessels/.VirtualBox/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.10-93012.vbox-extpack.
The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: Failed to rename the extension pack directory: VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS
rcExit=1.

Component: ExtPackManager
Interface: IExtPackManager {3295e6ce-b051-47b2-9514-2c588bfe7554}
What must I do?

Please go to that directory and remove all*-_-uninst* directories in that directory. Then try the installation again.

Can't install Extpack 4.3.10, contantly getting the same error:

It seems something wrong with "/" and "\" symbols in paths, but as far as I understand, it's in the code, couldn't find any way to set these paths manually.
Tried reinstall VirtualBox, VboxManage extpack cleanup, rebooting, etc. Have started the process with Admin privileges both in GUI and command line
Doesn't help.
OS: Windows 7 64bit SP1

Both the GUI and CLI give you the exact same error: VERR_ACCESS_DENIED. Make sure you have the appropriate access to the destination directory. The forward and backward slashes have most probably nothing to do with it, just a red herring.

As I said before, I run the procedure under Admin privileges.
Surely, I have the full access and previous extpacks have been installed without problems.
I've checked the folder permissons and it has standard permissions.
Additionally, I've just set full access rights to this folder for all users, but it doesn't help.

Hello, I'm running Win8.1 and have also been experiencing the same problem. I was finally able to get it to install by doing the following 3 steps:
1) Run VirtualBox as Administrator
2) Navigate to c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox and run VBoxExtPackHelperApp as Administrator
*And I mean physically right click and runas Administrator
3) Go back to VirtualBox -> File -> Preferences -> Extensions and add the ExtensionPack
Didn't waste anymore time on this however, it appears that the error is that the installer needs to run as Administrator and eventhough you launch VirtualBox as Administrator when it launches the VBoxExtPackHelperApp that it doesn't launch it as Administrator...
Anyway, this worked for me, hopefully it'll help you guys out

same problem with ext pack 4.3.28
UPD: Just have found the solution.
I've temporarily turned off antivirus protection in my Dr.Web and succesfully installed the ext pack.
Hope it helps someone else.
