when replacing an existing VBox install, should use the same install folder; could also ask user where they want VirtualBox installed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-3761 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3761 Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: platform-installer Affects Versions: 9.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 10.2.0.AM3 Attachments: JBDS3761-VBox508installed-but-honeybadger-installer-doesnt-care.png, vbox-install-omits-guestadditions.png I had Virtual Box 5.0.16 installed. The dev platform installer (build 33) decided 5.0.16 was bad, uninstalled it, and instead installed 5.0.8 into C:\DeveloperPlatform\virtualbox (where I had had it installed to the default folder, c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox. As a result, my existing VB install cannot find the Guest Additions iso image. !vbox-install-omits-guestadditions.png! I suggest that since the installation of Virtual Box isn't something that is necessarily tied into the DevPlatform, it should be installed into its default folder, c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox, rather than C:\DeveloperPlatform\virtualbox. Or if not, the installer could ask the user if they want to use the default folder (for reuse) or install under the DeveloperPlatform folder (for a more self-contained installation footprint).
