I did help. I got MSI logging enabled for you. Someone else can take it from here.

Enjoy your day. :)

Google. We're here to help you as a user to user, not as a teacher to pupil. If the answer is easily discoverable in Google (in less than a minute), do not expect people to hold your hand all the way. That's what loukingjr was practically saying and I second that.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

You have MSI logging enabled, so now you can try to install VirtualBox again (make sure any old version is uninstalled first, and be sure to use "Run as administrator" when running the installer). Assuming that the install attempt will fail: grab the MSI log, zip it and post it here.

Not being a Windows person I'm not sure but this doesn't look good.

It looks like it is failing to install network filter drivers, so it looks like you are having standard permissions problems. I.e. either you are not using "Run as administrator", or you have "Driver Signature Enforcement" configured to silently reject non-Microsoft drivers. You should Google for how to fix the latter, which is a problem regardless of the user privilege level.

Not unless you can provide much better feedback than "that didn't work". In any case it's really Microsoft you should be getting help from - it's their installer which is failing, on their OS.
