Mithran,

That error has to do with VB and not Mint.

Additionally your host OS is windows.

I would suggest posting your issue on a VB or windows forum if you don't get any replies here.

Good luck

Hi Mithran,

Have you installed the Virtualbox Guest Additions from inside your Windows guest OS? Worked for me with Mint 19.1 / VB6 / Winodws 10 Pro (1809).

Hope the suggestion helps some.

First you need to install Guest Additions. To mount the ISO, you need to unmount any ISO that's already in the virtual CD drive. Click Devices --> Optical Drives, then select "Remove disk from virtual drive". Sometimes it will complain; select "Force" and should unmount properly. Now you can mount the GA ISO: click Devices --> Insert Guest Additions CD image.

Assuming that all of that works, you should be able to install GA on Mint.
