Unable to install Extension Pack after upgrading VirtualBox to release 5.1.12

user8957890Dec 23 2016 — edited Dec 26 2016

Just upgraded VirtualBox to version 5.1.12 on 64-bit Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, and tried to install the accompanying Extension Pack.  I have been unable to install the Extension Pack using either the GUI or CLI interfaces, even in Safe Mode,  I get the following messages:

C:\Users\J1008060>cd "\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage extpack install C:\users\j1008060\Downloads\Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.12-112440.vbox-extpack

0%...

Progress state: E_FAIL

VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to install "C:\users\j1008060\Downloads\Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.12-112440.vbox-extpack"

VBoxManage.exe: error: rcExit=1

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

I tried uninstalling VirtualBox and reinstalling from a newly-downloaded installer from the Oracle website.  Once again, the main application installed fine, but the extension pack did not.
