Hello vbox developers, as said I get bug reports about failures due to:
"VERR_PDM_DEVHLPR3_VERSION_MISMATCH", maybe can we have some better error message?
I'm not sure how better might it be, but I get a lot of reports due to this problem...
Maybe refusing to start when an incompatible ext-pack is detected would be even better.

You can see more info here [1]
