This issue is still present in 6.1.10 and the cause is %temp% nog on a dedicated or large enough disk.
I had temp on a ramdisk and starting by 6.1.4 it won't install anymore.
Changed temp to my second disk d:/temp and vb is installing again!

much more efficient than changing TEMP Var

open your CMD in Admin mode, walk to your Downloadlocation by cd comand and use this:

VirtualBox-6.0.8-130520-Win.exe --path "C:\Users\Josh\Downloads\VirtualBox-6.0.8-130520-Win"

and think first before coping, pasting whole line and hiting enter :-)
This solved it for me, thank you!

This one's a bit old, locking to close off me-too's.

Virtualbox's installer fails if the %temp% folder is changed from the Windows default.
