Description
On Mac OSX 10.9, virtualbox runs fine on a new install. Upon restarting the host OS, I find that there are files missing in Virtualbox.app.
VBoxManage does not run since VBoxManage itself is missing. Creating a copy of virtualbox.app and comparing the backup with the one on /Applications/Virtualbox.app, I get the following:

Note that '-amd64' and '-x86' versions of said files are present. Moreover, copying the back-up over to the original location fixes the problem.

Installing VBox 4.3.2 should also solve the problem.

Hi. I just updated to 4.3.2 from 4.2.18 and it still happens.
Btw, this does not happen if I downgrade to 4.2.18.

Hm. Found the problem. I have 'ln' pointing to the coreutils implementaion which doesn't have 'ln -h'.
/Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh uses 'ln -h'. Replacing 'ln' with '/bin/ln' solves the problem.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Could you uninstall VBox and then install VBox 4.3.2? Do you still see that problem?
