As it is a breach of Apple's Licensing Terms and Conditions to run OS X on non-Apple hardware, I very much doubt you will get any help here.

Along with what erdeslawe already said, there are no Guest Additions for OSX guests.

Derin, looked at your OP again. The only way to get that message is if you tried to insert the GA .iso from a Mac Host into a Mac guest. Not sure where Windows 10 comes into the picture. Unless you have a Windows 10 guest and decided to name it "Mac OS X Yosemite".

I guess it doesn't really matter. As mentioned, there are no GAs for an OS X guest anyway, so the topic is redundant. If the user has confused the meanings of guest and host then he should ask the question again elsewhere and provide proper diagnostics, including a VM log file.
