The Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability.
The Guest Additions offer the following features:
- Mouse pointer integration
- Shared folders
- Better video support
- Seamless windows
- Generic host/guest communication channels
- Time synchronization
- Shared clipboard
- Automated logons (credentials passing)
Each version of VirtualBox, even minor releases, ship with their own version of the Guest Additions. While the interfaces through which the VirtualBox core communicates with the Guest Additions are kept stable so that Guest Additions already installed in a VM should continue to work when VirtualBox is upgraded on the host, for best results, it is recommended to keep the Guest Additions at the same version.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

VBoxGuestAdditions.install has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

VBoxGuestAdditions.install has failed automated testing.
This is not the only check that is performed so check the package page to ensure a 'Ready' status.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/1b08a47b48588006f05db2f2a40f5d0d for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

The local testing environment pops up a Windows Security dialog regarding whether you "Would like to install this device software". Anything you can do with regard to AHK for this package?

We've found VBoxGuestAdditions.install v6.0.6 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.
Take action:
If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.
Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

Hi Bill,
I am contacting you regarding this package and https://chocolatey.org/packages/virtualbox-guest-additions-guest.install
It seems that both packages are the same.
I think one of these packages should become deprecated.
Are you willing to deprecate this package in favor of the other?

This is the longer standing package.
I don't know why Paul went and made a new package; you'd think he'd do his homework. He could have simply been added as maintainer here. Unfortunately, he doesn't coordinate these things when I'm involved.
I'll gladly give it up as I have no use for it.
I'll do what you think is best.

Hi Bill,
I had a short chat with Paul and he told me that he noticed this package. Based on the description he was under the impression that this was to be installed on the "host" and not on the guest.
I noticed that your package got rejected for a long time and the current version being worked on for over a month, I think the "virtualbox-guest-additions-guest.install" package is currently the most stable package version of the two.
Therefor I would like to suggest that this package will be deprecated using the procedure.

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move VBoxGuestAdditions.install v6.0.6 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.
Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.
