When the installer discovers an incorrect version of one of these files, it opens the following URL in the user's web browser: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch12.html#ts_d3d8-d3d9-restore The instructions for Windows 7 are to replace the following files from the original Windows media: {{{ C:\Windows\System32\d3d9.dll C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\d3d8.dll C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\d3d9.dll }}} The instructions are incomplete, however, as the guest additions installer also checks for incorrect versions of the following files, and fails if they are found: {{{ C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\d3d9.dll C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dllcache\d3d8.dll C:\Windows\system32\msd3d9.dll }}} I believe the first two files can simply be deleted as they are merely cached copies. The third, msd3d9.dll, was not present on the Windows media I was using, and I suspect it can be deleted as well. The documentation should be updated to include instructions about deleting these files manually. Alternately, the installer could delete these files itself.",defect,new,documentation,VirtualBox 4.1.16,,,,Windows,all
