VirtualBox 5.2.4-119785 does not install on Windows 10

Description
Error message: "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
It asks you to give it the path to VirtualBox-5.2.2-r119230-MultiArch_amd64.msi, which doesn't exist in C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\VirtualBox\
The file that exists is VirtualBox-5.2.4-r119785-MultiArch_amd64.msi
Telling the installer to use this file instead of the one it is looking for does not help it move forward.
Renaming the existing file to the name the bootstrapper is expecting is impossible, since the msi is being held in use by the bootstrapper itself.
Installation is impossible.
Clearly a build error in the bootstrapper, almost certanly reproducible in all version of Windows 64 bits.

Use the following command to extract the installer files:
and then give the extraction path to Microsoft's MSI installer application.
This is not a VirtualBox error, this is a Microsoft installer error, and should be reported as such, i.e. as a "WorksForMe".
