Description
"VBoxDarwinAdditionsUninstall.tool" is not executable and cannot be run directly, has to be copied from the ISO somewhere locally, and "chmod +x" in order to work:
$ ls -l /Volumes/VBox_GAs_6.0.0/VBoxDarwinAdditionsUninstall.tool -r--r--r-- 1 socratis staff 3949 10 Δεκ 2018 /Volumes/VBox_GAs_6.0.0/VBoxDarwinAdditionsUninstall.tool
The issue actually exists since the beginning of time, when "VBoxDarwinAdditionsUninstall.tool" was first introduced with VirtualBox 6.0.0 RC1, and is still ongoing with 6.1.0b1+. Guess nobody noticed so far... ;)
