You have somehow messed up your system. I don't know how. But, I told you to first uninstall the GAs and reboot the guest. Did you do that, or did you try to straight install the new ones over the old ones?

Yes, I did, as you said to me. Even more, I rebooted host system too, but result the same - driver doesn't install.
I can't install GA now, so I reinstall it in host system and repeat GA install in the guest.

As far as I can remember you're the first person that has ever had a problem installing the GAs. I couldn't begin to think what is wrong with the guest...

I reinstall host system on Linux Fedora 25, and try to set GA in Windows 7 again. But the problem remains. I can't install GA.
I made new virtual machine. But no luck.
What should I do next?

Just a moment, I'll write you later. I remembered I explored %windir%\system32 - maybe I harm access rights in this directory. So, I will reinstall Guest OS, and check again.

Great!
Could you share the solution, so that others can benefit in the future? You simply reinstalled the guest OS?
