Sorry for the very late reply, but I just had the same issue and was able to fix it.
My issue was that I had a drive labeled H: without a G: drive. What I did to fix it was:
- Open Disk Manager
- Right click on your drive with the last later. i.e. you have drive C: D: E: and H: click on H:
- Select change drive letter then "Change..." then change the letter to G:
- Click OK then you should be good to install VBox!

I'm quite surprised that this actually works. Quite a strange bug. Thanks!

This could be due to a past or failed install, in which case you will need to run regedit and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREOracleVirtualBox key.
