Upgrade from VBox 1.5.51 to 1.6.2
Posted: 30. Jun 2008, 11:04
I have VBox 1.5.51 running on Mac Os/x 1.4. Tiger with Win Xp SP2 guest OS.
Last time when I tried to upgrade from Vbox 1.4 to 1.5 I had to reinstall the entire guest os and all the applications. I prefer not to have to do the same from 1.5.51 to 1.6.2 version. There do not seem to any instructions on the upgrade only for an installation.
1. Is it possible to upgrade to a new version without having to reinstall guest o/s?
2. What steps I can take to ensure a smooth migration.
3. Are the shared folder and USB support issues resolved in this version?
Thank you in advance for your help.
