Update VBoxGuestAddtions on CentOS Guest
I ran into an issue updating VirtualBox Guest Additions on CentOS 6.5 guest.
This error specifically:
"Virtualbox Guest Additions installation, Windows System and desktop setup install_x11_startup_app: no script"
To resolve this error:
1) Remove any old VBoxGuestAdditions-x.x.xx directories in /opt/
ex: # rm -rf /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.08
2) Remove symlinks /usr/lib64/VBoxGuestAdditions and /usr/share/VBoxGuestAdditions
ex: # rm -rf /usr/lib64/VBoxGuestAdditions
ex: # rm -rf /usr/share/VBoxGuestAdditions
