DmiBIOSFirmwareMajor set to incorrect value #1

@ghost

Description

After running setslic on my VM, I get the following error in VirtualBox

Configuration error: Querying "DmiBIOSFirmwareMajor" as an int failed (VERR_CFGM_NOT_INTEGER).

seems like an error message ended up in my config:

      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSFirmwareMajor" value="ERROR: Cannot find value for BIOS"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSFirmwareMinor" value="ERROR: Cannot find value for BIOS"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSReleaseDate" value="10/12/2016"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSReleaseMajor" value="1"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSReleaseMinor" value="4"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVendor" value="Dell Inc."/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVersion" value="1.4.10"/>

After changing the values to match ReleaseMinor/Major, I get

Configuration error: Querying "DmiSystemSKU" as a string failed (VERR_CFGM_NOT_STRING).

Which corresponds to

      <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemSKU" value="0704"/>

Adding a space to the start of that value 'fixes' it. Haven't tried activating VM Windows yet, though.

Seems like VirtualBox bugs to me but I thought it was worth reporting anyway.
