Message:

GuestHost/installation/VBoxWinDrvInst.cpp: Try harder if DiInstallDriverW() returns ERROR_WRONG_INF_TYPE by installing the detect INF section. This happens on Windows Vista where DiInstallDriverW() can't handle primitive drivers and should fix the mouse driver installation. For the mouse driver we can't use the [Manufacturer] section for primitive drivers, as InfVerif.exe will complain.
