Description
Running VirtualBox 5.2.0 on a recent Windows 10 Pro :
After upgrading the software from version 5.1.28 to 5.2.0 it offered to install new extension pack to match the upgrade. Agreed to do so -- it showed the window and appeared as if it was downloading the pack (I believe it did, but I do not know where). Then it proceeded to install and failed, saying something about wrong url. Then it offers to retry, but the result is the same dialog, where it "swears" the same, so I cancel it.
Downloaded the extension pack from the website. Tried to install it -- VirtualBox said I need to log on as administrator :).
Logged on as administrator, started VirtualBox and received an offer to upgrade the Extension pack to 5.2.0 -- agreed, dowloaded, and same failure trying to install with seemingly unrelated "wrong url". Downloaded the pack from the website. Fired it to install (this time as Windows administrator) -- it succeeded.
