Hello,

I always use a delay with the msiexec uninstall command. So, I would 
write it like this:

<remove cmd='powershell -C "msiexec /q /x (Get-CimInstance -ClassName 
Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -like \"Oracle VirtualBox *\" 
}).IdentifyingNumber REBOOT=ReallySuppress"' />
<remove cmd='%COMSPEC% /C ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul' />
