Are you running comregister.cmd as Admin? If you don't then it can't 
make the necessary changes to the registry. In general I don't think 
anyone routinely uses your approach to build vbox on one PC to move it 
to another. It doesn't need much more time to create an installation 
package using "kmk packing", and use that to install vbox...
