UPDATE 20150712:

Rejecting per no response.

Howdy,
Silent doesn't prevent reboot. This package already exists, curious why the duplicate?
Does the existing package need more functionality?

Description

Oracle VM VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for
hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, Oracle VM
VirtualBox is now the only professional-quality virtualization
solution that is also Open Source Software.

# Reasoning explained:
#
#   If I have this Choco package, I will assume that VirtualBox has been
#   installed with it. I can't just check for GUID because there is a
#   possibility that user updated VirtualBox manually. I could also
#   check version of installed application, and remove it only if
#   it's after this one - but I won't do version check.
#
# Here is the logic:
#   If we have this package, let's assume we installed VirtualBox with
#   it, so, regardless of a version, remove any VirtualBox that you
#   find on this machine.

$packageName = "Devbox-VirtualBox"

# Note: Strangely, full application name in registry contains
# both the name and version (Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.2.12).
#
# GUID list:
#   * v4.2.10 -> {E28F112D-4784-4466-AE4B-07B3630C857F}
#   * v4.2.12 -> {unknown}
#
#
# Also, we can find ut a lot of information from this registry key:
#     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\VirtualBox

# Uninstall any version of VirtualBox
# Note: must be outside catch block

    # VirtualBox will set VBOX_INSTALL_PATH environment variable. Sometimes,

    # and updates. These multiple paths are properly seperated with
    # semicolon, so it's safe simply all to append to path.
