Hello!
Is it normal to have a 4.1.16 version in the 6.1.16 additions? In another maschine I have 5.2.34 between the 6.1.16er. Normal?

Host Win7
Guest Win7

Sort of. The corresponding VirtualBox DLLs and drivers no longer exist in VirtualBox 6.1.16 and are leftovers. If the files still exist on your guest file system, you can simply delete them. While neither the VirtualBox Manager nor any VM is running, you can manually delete those lines from the .vbox files. If you delete all GuestProperty lines, then after the next VM run the GuestProperty lines still valid will reappear.

I deleted them more than once. ;)
But obviously they re-appear everytime. Maybe because I did not delete the files in the guest. I will do that too and look what happens.

Thanks,
Chris
