Windows 10: How to create / extract MSI logs while installing VirtualBox in Windows 11?

I downloaded VirtualBox 7.1.6-167084 in Windows 11 Home 23H2. I wanted to install VirtualBox in a custom location F:\ in my laptop. Hence, I opened PowerShell Run as administrator and ran the first command. It threw me a slew of errors. It gave the same errors in Command Prompt too.Hence, I'd like to create an MSI log .msi file maybe to attach it to VirtualBox forum. Please help me.

Unable to install virtualbox on windows 11

Hi Team,

I installed virtualbox version 6.1.38 on my laptop & I uninstalled it - since it did not uninstall properly, I tried deleting regedit keys & uninstallation was a success. I tried installing virtualbox version 6.1.40 again but it failed with fatal error message. So I tried the following:
1. Install virtualbox as an administrator
2. disable antivirus and install
3. cleaning the registry with CCleaner
4. disabled USB support and install

5. Repair MSI (Windows Installer) 2.8.8.

6. Windows Repair 4.5.1

7. enabling full MSI logging, then run the installer again,

8. updated the windows updates

9. deleted C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

And I followed many other solutions but none worked.

Please help me resolve the issue
Thank you,

Rose
