In fact something did happen: the CD was inserted in the drive, just what the menu item says it does. We can assume it worked because you didn't get an error message.mfeicht wrote: After I click on "Insert guest additions CD image" nothing happens...
What happens after you insert a CD depends on the guest OS. Some will autorun a file on the CD (that is rather dangerous), some will prompt, some guest OS's will do nothing at all. In any case you should always be able to browse to the CD using your OS's file browser, and launch the app manually.

Thanks for your quick response.
I opened the file browser.
Than I click on "Insert guest additions CD image" and NOW the install process starts as descibed in the youtube tutorial.
Thanks - solved.
