[mjlucas]

Guest Addition collection of various Guest properties fails in the 3.0 Beta1. These are Windows XP Guests (SP2 and SP3).

These keys are never reported (first failure in VBox.log)

Hi,

this is not exactly a regression; we just added looking up the file information of the DLLs you just listed without having actual file information for these files yet. The errors (should be more like warnings) don't harm the Guest Additions and/or your VM in any way. Thanks for the report anyway!

Sorry, the regression I was talking about was that the three keys for /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/* are no longer working, I didn't check if the DLLs existed. Note the registry key read failure in the logs. I check and verified that these registry keys exist. I also did a uninstall + reboot + reinstall + reboot to see if it was an issue with GA upgrade but still same issue.

Name: /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/InstallDir
Name: /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Revision
Name: /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Version

Thanks for the report. I just verified that again and fixed it. Should be in one of the next OSE exports and in the next upcoming version of course. If the problem still exists then please report back. Thanks!
