Issue sharing folder on Win10 Host with Vm

Post by max22941 »

I have setup sharing in VM Machine setting showing Host HDD partition and setup sharing on Host OS.

Vm sharing was setup with VM running. Otherwise I can't see shared folder anywhere in VM(Win11). Also setup sharing in VM Os still not visible.

Help Please.

Log attached.

The posted log does not show installed Guest Additions. If the shared folder was set up in the VM's settings, then Guest Additions is required inside the VM. See the manual, section 4.

:lol:

Lots of notes. And I wrote a log file scanner VBscript that looks for certain texts in the log and outputs the lines containing those texts to a Notepad .txt. The line containing "Guest Additions information report:" was MIA.
