I'm posting again with the hope that someone has a solution. This is really bugging me :-0
Win10 guest on MAC I've had problems with installing the guest additions since the 5.0.14 release and it's still not working.
In the directory
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
are on my VM 7 different folders named like this:
vboxguest.inf_amd64_4dc302fb4f5cdcb9
and another 7 folders named like this:
vboxvideow8.inf_amd64_0fdc0e68ee25ecc1
It seems that these folders are disturbing the installation of GA!
The windows utility pnputil can list and remove these, but some of the drivers cannot be removed because the system have the drivers registered as in use.
A search in the registry database reveals entries that are not removed even-though a full de-installation is performed. The entries cannot be removed and one cannot change rights on these entries.
