Re-start VirtualBox as you would normally, i.e. At the end of the installation, choose to 'Start Oracle VM VirtualBox'. Right-click on the installer and select ' Run-as-Administrator', even if you are the administrator.

Locate the downloaded file in Windows Explorer.

If you're afraid about your computer being vulnerable, pull the Ethernet plug, disconnect your WiFi, don't go browsing around.

Uninstall (don't simply disable) all 3rd party antivirus.

not on 'Desktop', or 'Documents', but to 'Public/Downloads' for example.

Download (if you haven't already) the latest VirtualBox and its matching ExtPack.

I've also tried installing the older versions (i.e. I tried deleting the '.VirtualBox' folder, running the installer as the Administrator, cleaning the registry with CCleaner, disabling the Windows virus protection and all of those things combined. I've downloaded the VirtualBox 6.x for Windows, but when I tried to install it, it deleted the old version (which was 5.x) and failed with the error 'Fatal error during installation' without providing any reason. Whenever I tried to start the program I got an error (I believe it was 'Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object' or something to do with the COM object).

I know that a similar issue has been asked multiple times on this forum, but the provided solutions don't work for me. While the installation of VirtualBox is a straightforward affair at times you may face difficulty while installing the VirtualBox on Windows 10. Next, you have to decide which type of hard disk to create. Since this is likely the first VM you’re setting up on this machine, click the radio button next to “Create a Virtual Hard Disk Now,” and then click “Create.”

Now, you have to decide the size of the hard disk for your VM, or if you want one at all. You can always change this later in “Settings.”

On the following screen, choose how much RAM (the amount of memory) you want to allocate to your VM, and then click “Continue.” Keep in mind if you set this too high, your Mac won’t have enough memory to run. You can choose a different “Machine Folder” to store the VMs. If you type the name of any available OS (like “Windows 10”), the “Version” field automatically switches to that OS. You can name your new operating system whatever you want. Open Virtual Box (via the “Applications” folder or via a Spotlight Search).

Now that you’ve installed VirtualBox on your Mac, it’s time to load up your Windows 10 virtual machine. Click “Close” and “Move to Trash” since you no longer need the installation file.

If you don’t see this text, open the “Applications” folder and drag the VirtualBox icon to the Trash to uninstall it.

Note that this option is only available for 30 minutes after a fresh install of VirtualBox.

If you haven’t given your Mac permission to install programs from Oracle previously, it’s highly likely the installation will fail at this stage.
