#19875 new defect
Upgrading Guest Additions on NT4/W2000 can't overwrite VBoxService.exe
| Reported by: | DavidVivaDJ | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | guest additions | Version: | VirtualBox 6.1.14 |
| Keywords: | VBoxService | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | Windows | Host type: | all |
Description
Host can be anything (though tested only on macOS 10.13 and Windows 10).
Guest: Windows 2000 and Windows NT4 only (no problems on anything newer).
Upgrading the guest additions will always halt with: Error opening file for writing: C:\WINNT\system32\VBoxService.exe
Selecting "Ignore" will bypass the installation of that file. GA appears to work fine afterwards but is probably still running an older version of that file. Uninstalling GA completely, rebooting and then reinstall GA is how I'm currently getting around this.
This appears to have started from 6.1.x onwards.
