Rom has a checkin to fix the tlb to use the v5.2.0 release version instead of a pre-release version. I think it needs merged. It is located here: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/pull/2198
Could somebody please merge that, then convert that into a new VBoxWrapper that I can test? My goal is to get RNA World to use a wrapper that's compatible with VirtualBox 5.2.x, which is important because of compatibility with Windows 10 while running the project's super-long-running monster tasks. Let me know when I can test a new VBoxWrapper, please!

Now that the final version has been released, could we please get it updated with the "VirtualBox.tlb" file from the v5.2.0 Final SDK, located here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.0/VirtualBoxSDK-5.2.0-118431.zip Then, can we get an updated version of VBoxWrapper compiled, that uses it? I could try to test it when it is available, let me know. My main push for this is so that we can get a "5.2.x capable" version available for RNA World to quickly adopt, since some of their tasks take over 500 days to complete, and Windows 10 compatibility (with older VirtualBox versions) becomes an issue. Let me know when I can test it. Regarding the version of VirtualBox that we include in the combined installers: It is my opinion that we should adopt the latest v5.1.x version, v5.1.30 as of right now. My reasoning is that v5.1.x is mature, and is only picking up bugfixes. Perhaps wait a month or two before adopting v5.2.x.
