I was able to download the Guest Additions ISO for version 6.0.0 (running VBox 6.0.2) from here within the guest OS and install it (OS X Mojave) without any third party applications. I did so in an attempt to fix an issue I am having where I cannot release mouse capture, but unfortunately the guest additions did not help solve the issue. This version also included guest extensions (VM additions) for OS/2 guests, which could run on Windows, OS/2 or Mac OS X hosts using Virtual PC versions 5, 6 or 7. A new version of the guest extensions was later included with Microsoft's Virtual PC 2004. Launch VirtualBoxon your Mac and follow these steps to load Microsoft Windows 7, VirtualBox Guest Addition, and OS patches. Note that you can cancel the installation of Windows at any time. If desired, complete the VirtualBox Registration Form, and click OK, otherwise click Cancel. In the Welcome to VirtualBox! Window, click New.

• Summary changed from Guest Additions not installing on macOS 10.15 Catalia guests to Guest Additions not installing on macOS 10.15 Catalina guests

I successfully installed El Capitan 10.11 on my MacBook Pro (running 10.10) inside of VirtualBox 5.0.8 r103449. Everything works pretty well and the performance is quite reasonable for a virtual machine.
One issue remaining is that my resolution is fixed at 1024x768. With my Windows and Linux guests, installing the VBox Guest Additions resolves this very easily.

Virtualbox Guest Additions For Mac Os X 10.10

The supplied VBOX Guest Additions ISO has guest installation utilites for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and OS2, but lacks guest additions for OSX. Does VirtualBox provide any guest additions for El Capitan guests (running on Mac hardware)? Or is this part of the roadmap at all?

Virtualbox Guest Additions For Mac Os X El Capitan

Ultimately I'm trying to resolve my resolution issues, so if anyone has suggestions for that with El Capitan, please let me know.
