Note: this solution works only if you have Kaspersky (or probably other security/antivirus) software installed.

I can complete install only with all networking features disabled (no bridged, no host-only - no networking at all).
Solution in my case: remove Kaspersky antivirus (trial version pre-installed by the laptop vendor). Seems kaspersky network drivers/shim caused failure of VirtualBox network driver installation.
Security vs convenience. Is it Oracle or Kaspersky behaving odd?..
