I'm sure this has been Asked and answered a thousand times.
Not only am I new to VB but also to the mac, therefore my common sense is out of wack.
Here goes:
Host= OS 10.5 I think
Guest OS= XP Home SP2 for sure
Will be running Quickbooks on VM (don't get me started on QB f/Mac)
I have a downloaded exe from Quickbooks on the Mac side How do I install it and where. My guest does not see any host files nor visa-versa.
Do I need to install it in the "virtual Drive"? I intended on install new programs in Control Panel but it cannot see my download directory. Tried copying it to CD but I can't copy it... put it on USB traveldrive but though I have USB turned on in VB; it does not recognize.... tried to copy from travelD to CD on my PC will not copy.
Started the exe on PC just to see... it is a download manager. I'm just afraid to let it run on the Mac. All my Decisions thus far have proved to be WRONG Thus....my common sense is out of wack.
Thanks for your help
Installing applications on VM
Just figured it out after seeing another thread on USB.
step 1: created a filter for it in USB window setting in VB
step 2: unmounted the USB memory stick from the Finder in OSX
step 3: automatically, XP detected new hardware and installed driver, and presto, the memory stick was there in My Computer (try hitting View/Refresh in Explorer window for My Computer....though first need to see the task bar icon for "Safely Remove Hardware"
Used the Travel Drive no problem the install was painless, slowish but painless
