VirtualBox exe failed to install on Windows 11

[ahmad_halabi]

Hello,

I am facing a serious problem when installing virtualbox.exe I tried multiple versions and all didn't install knowing that before I had vbox installed normally. But when I uninstalled it to update to the new version I got this problem.

I am using Windows 11.

Proof Of Concept:

1. Open VirtualBox-6.1.30-148432-Win.exe and proceed with the steps.
2. I get this error while installing

Error: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessible. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.

3. And after I hit OK. I get the following message.

Installation failed! Error: Fatal error during installation.

Please notice that any exe files are being installed normally without any errors. I am facing this problem when just installing virtual box.

I hope you can find a solution for this problem.

Kind Regards.
