Hi Evan,

I cannot see any failure on the screenshot ... did you "Press Return to close this window" ?
Also, did you restart the RHEL guest system afterwards to activate the guest additions ?
In case not, please reboot the guest system and most probably everything works fine. :)

Regards,
Christian

Yea, I realize it is already guest additions now, but I still can not use the "Auto-resize Guest Display" in the View menu bar, maybe it is the new feature of RHEL 7.4

Hi Evan,

ORACLE VirtualBox 5.1 doesn't support RHEL 7.4 - but VirtualBox 5.2 does.
You can try out the beta version which is already available : Announcement
Do not forget to download and install the matching guest additions version.
