#22217 new defect

extensions pack needs membership in the Administrators group

Description

In my company I'm not a member of administators group, but my computer is controlled by Avecto Defendpoint.

And I can run a program as: "Run Elevated with BT Defendpoint power user" which gives me effectively administrator privileges.

Unfortunately this is not enough for VBox:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage extpack install --replace Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.4.vbox-extpack

0%...E_FAIL
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to install "Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.4.vbox-extpack"
VBoxManage.exe: error: The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: Membership in the Administrators group is required to perform this action
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component ExtPackManagerWrap, interface IExtPackManager
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "enum RTEXITCODE __cdecl handleExtPack(struct HandlerArg *)" at line 2099 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp
