Stephen,
The extension pack and the guest additions are two different things. You
will need to read the VBox Help file topic about Guest Additions in section
4 and pay special attention to 4.2.2, which pertains to installing guest
additions on a Linux OS guest. This topic was a little confusing for me too
until I read that part, but it is laid out plainly there. Additionally, as
that section explains, if it should become too painful or time consuming,
you can always use the Guest Addtitions provided by your distribution itself
although doing so is not recommended.

Subject: [VBox-users] VBoxLinuxAdditions.run Won't
I have just upgraded VirtualBox on my MS Win 7 laptop from 4.2.0 to
4.2.2r81494. The upgrade went smoothly and the app downloaded and loaded
the appropriate extension pack.
However, when I use the new VM and attempt to install the extension pack
(as root) the system won't execute VBoxLinuxAdditions.run, although the
permissions are -r-xr-xr-x. I suspect because it's a binary file ad I don't
know how to tell the system to run the file.
Assistance will be appreciated.
