Guest Addition installation on w2k - VBoxService.exe error opening file for writing

[trutwijd]

Just upgraded from VirtualBox 1.6.4 to 1.6.6 on OpenSuSE 10.3 using the RPM's from website. Upgrade went fine until installed guest additions (guest is windows 2000). Installer threw this error:

"Error opening file for writing:
C:\WINNT\system32\VBoxService.exe"
Abort / Retry / Ignore

Clicked Retry a couple times, no change - Clicked Ignore, install finished, rebooted, tried installing again, same error.

So far this doesn't seem to have caused any issues that I know of though.

Let me know if additional information (logs / specs / etc) needed.

It seems that the upgrade was not successful and your guest probably executes parts of the old guest additions. Please could you retry the setup and specify the command line parameter /l? After that, please attach the resulting log file in

c:\Program Files\Sun\...\*.log

to this ticket.

No response, closing.
