where to find virtualbox guest additions for version 5.2.8

Post by tomgwilt »

Hi there,

Using Virtualbox 5.2.8 on Ubuntu 17.0.1 and am trying to find either the iso file for the guest additions. I'm unable to mount a shared folder in the Windows 7 virtual machine. Any ideas where they are to be found? I've looked all over the website, but can't find them.

Thanks,

Tom

The Guest Additions (GAs) CD comes bundled with your VirtualBox installation. You do *not* need to download it separately. Just look in the "Devices" menu...
