Out of curiosity, what is the problem?

The problem is that it doesn't install in Windows 10 virtual machine.

This is the report from The virtualbox home page:

Update: The Guest Additions image with the 5.2.0 release fails to work with recent Linux guest kernels. Please try this image which we believe fixes the problem. For experimental Linux 4.14 support, please try this image. Both should work on all older guest systems too: please let us know if they do not.

So the issue is with a Win 10 host and a linux guest? If so, not an issue here.

No, exactly the contrary. Sorry for my bad English.

The quote you posted from the virtualbox page specifically says it's an issue with linux guest kernels, so again I ask, what's the problem here?
