virtualbox virtual-machine x-server xforwarding

                          I have a Ubuntu VM on VirtualBox running in headless mode. Host is a Windows 10 machine. I want to be able to render Ubuntu's applications on Windows using XServer.

Currently, I tried this:

 - Installed X410 XServer on Windows. 
 - ssh into Virtual Machine with a -X option so that X forwarding is enabled.
 - If I run a graphical application from command line now, it complains that cannot connect XServer. My DISPLAY env variable is localhost:10.0. 

Below is error I get on launching the graphical application:

    connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory Unable to init  
    server: Could not connect: Connection refused Failed to parse  
    arguments: Cannot open display:
