Weil VirtualBox gerade auf 5.2.6 gegangen ist, habe ich bei meinen diversen VMs die Gasterweiterungen aktualisieren wollen. Das scheiterte ausgerechnet bei meiner wichtigsten VM (einem Backup meiner alten Windows-Installation als VHD) daran, daß ich unter "Geräte" keinen Eintrag "Gasterweiterungen einlegen" mehr habe. Auch ein nochmaliges Installieren der Guest Additions 5.2.6 hat nicht geholfen.
Wie kann ich diese VM aktualisieren?

Go to the VM preferences » User Interface » make sure that the "Devices" menu is enabled, like the rest of them.[color=#BF4000]DeepL translator[/color] wrote:Because VirtualBox has just gone to 5.2.6, I wanted to update the guest extensions of my various VMs. This failed with my most important VM (a backup of my old Windows installation as VHD) because I don't have an entry "Insert guest extensions" under "Devices" anymore. Reinstalling Guest Additions 5.2.6 did not help either. How can I update this VM?

Re: Gasterweiterungen Update nicht möglich
I am not quite sure what you meant with enabling the Device menu. But when I loaded the GA ISO in the VirtualBox General menu submenu Mass Storage to the SATA-Port 1 of the SATA Controller, I could install the additions from within the VM as usual. Of course there still is no menu item in the VM menu under devices. But who cares if it works!
