Prompted to update extension pack when installing extension pack

Post by orev »

This is really a minor GUI annoyance, but whenever I install a new version of vbox, then double-click on the extension pack I already downloaded, I get 2 prompts at the same time:

1) You have an old version (xxx) of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack... Do you wish to download?

2) An older version of the extension pack is already installed, would you like to upgrade? ...

Vbox should be smart enough to know that someone is opening an extension pack, so it shouldn't also be asking if you want to download it. you just have to cancel out of #1 and then proceed with #2, but it's just a bad experience.
