This is feature request/bug report.
On Windows Longhorn Guest Additions does not install, it fails at driver installing. Tested on build 4074 and 4093. Manual driver installation installed just some drivers, not all. Longhorn is very close to Windows XP and can use drivers from XP or Vista. Can anyone please fix Guest Additions for Longhorn 4074?
Thank you

Can anyone do it? Yes. Will anyone do it? No. Or at least Oracle won't.TekuSP wrote:Can anyone please fix Guest Additions for Longhorn 4074?

Re: Windows Longhorn Guest Additions
Longhorn is a pre-release, not meant to be used in regular operation. Very likely none of Oracle's rich corporate customers (You have to be rich to be an Oracle customer...) use Longhorn much, if at all. So spending Oracle developer time on Guest Additions for old Longhorn, when they're too-super-busy with other necessaries, is probably not going to happen.Beta Archive Wiki wrote:"Longhorn" was the codename for the planned successor of Windows XP. The project was reset and replaced with a new project-Longhorn Omega-13 which was later renamed Windows Vista. Early builds of Windows Vista were often referred to as "Longhorn," causing confusion....Contrary to popular belief, most of the early builds of "Longhorn" are not based on Windows XP, but Windows Server 2003 (Build 3663) Release Candidate code.
Users can contribute source code, though.
