Hi Andreas,

I had some time now and dared to do some more experiments. As I knew  
now where to look I was able to repair the damages manually immediately.

What I found:

There is no problem when the mentioned Windows registry keys do not  
yet contain a VBoxSF entry before the install. E.g. an existing string  
"LanmanWorkstation" is correctly changed to "VBoxSF,LanmanWorkstation"

If, however, the key does already contain "VBoxSF,LanmanWorkstation",  
this is corrupted to VBoxSF,anmanWorkstation", invalidating the second  
part.

This happens on all installation sequences of Guest Additions 1.6.x,  
because these just install on top of each other.

On 1.6.x installations over an 1.5.x the older version is first  
uninstalled and the "VBoxSF" part in the registry is correctly  
deleted, so the problem does not show up in these cases.
