[vbox-dev] GuestAddtions OSE: VBoxService.exe does not start

[Andreas - Sun Microsystems, Inc.]

Hi Sebastian,

thanks for the report. What happens if you start the VBoxService.exe 
from command line specifying "VBoxService -f -vvv" after stopping any 
running instance of VBoxService first? This makes the service run in 
foreground with verbose output.

Cheers,
-Andreas.
