I get the "Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error." message.

Any ideas why this would happen?

I run a Windows 7 box with 64 bit Windows 7 Professional. I got the same error whether I tried to use the executable to run the installer for Virtual Box 5 or 4.3.
Neither:
VirtualBox-4.3.28-100309-Win.exe
or
VirtualBox-5.0.0-101573-Win.exe

will install.

It never installs anything because it just fails and shows the error message each time.

Okay so somehow running Windows update cleared something.


5.0 installed.
