Hello. So last year i installed VirtualBox 5.2.34 For a windows host. After i think i never used it again after. And recently i have taken notice of a strange issue.
I have tried uninstalling it through the Control Panel and Windows 10 Settings and it never managed to properly get off of my computer.
It is uninstalled but the icon still appears in both of those. I Also cant Install it at all. Uninstalling Or Installing either way does the same thing.
The download rolls back and gives me an error about it ending prematurely.
I have been looking for an explanation for a bit now so i am hoping one of you can figure this out.

Re: Trouble Uninstalling 5.2.34
Virtualbox is installed via Microsoft's MSI installation system. Microsoft's system does get bunged up every so often, and yours is bunged up.
Web-search how to enable MSI logging, then present the log on a Microsoft forum, so their gurus can fix your MSI database. Then Virtualbox installs and uninstalls should start working again.
