Anyone know the reason why the web service cannot access the extension pack API? It would be nice if at least IExtPackBase was available to check what packs were installed.

Noteirak,
The web service does not include any of the interfaces (IExtPackBase, IExtPackManager, etc) for dealing with extension packs.
After searching through the source code, I found in the "VirtualBox.xidl" definition file that they are all suppressed:
<interface
name="IExtPackBase" extends="$unknown"
uuid="aa204a12-5b29-45a5-b5d6-c2bafcdb9b0b"
wsmap="suppress"
Wondering if anyone knew a specific reason for this. Since certain features are only part of the extension pack (VRDP, disk encryption), would be useful to have the ability to (at a minimum) check if it is installed.
