Description
An upgrade of VirtualBox to 6.1.28 fails on MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 with the message:
The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
Running on the CLI, this is all I see: (not terribly helpful)

Sounds like a duplicate of #20637, because the "Security & Privacy" part is expected, and I assume you'll have trouble with the kernel extension loading on the next boot.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
After the installation failed, I found a message in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy stating that I needed to "Allow apps downloaded from:" Oracle to be be installed. Once unlocking to make changes and rebooting, I was able to successfully install 6.1.28.
