Virtual Box Installation Error: "Invalid Drive: G: \"

I have been trying to install VirtualBox. However, I keep getting the error "Invalid Drive: G:. I do not have a G: drive.

I tried using subst G: C:\ and different versions of virtualbox but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

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! – 0-60FPS – 2017-04-16T01:52:12.290

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