Can't install guest additions fully?

Post by svrx »

Now when resetting the machine, guest machine icon shows up and there is no problem in resizing the window, mouse integration and whatnot but I can't seem to share clipboard Is there a way to manually install specific parts of the guest addition like the bidirectional clipboard? Or just install the guest additions fully without problem?

Just my 2 cents about fixing RegistryAddStringToList: RegQueryValueEx failed error during guest additions installation. Create the empty registry key ProviderOrder, for example by importing the following registry settings, and repeat the installation:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order]
"ProviderOrder"=""

You must have administrator priviledges when installing. Ensure you are either part of the Administrators group or logged with the Administrator account.

Hello,

I also have the same message "ERROR: Caller is not in Administrators group to (un)install this driver package!" (see attached file) when trying to install the Guest Additions 5.2.6 or 5.2.8, whereas it was fine until 5.2.4.

I'm member of the Administrators group on my Windows 7 guest.

As a result, I work on Vbox 5.2.8 with Guest Additions v5.2.4.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance for your help

I would believe the Windows Installer error message. Now check why you don't have the admin rights you think you have. Usually this would be because group policy restricts the actual rights of your group.

Hi mpack

Thanks for your help.

I first tried to install another programm (N++ update) to check Windows installer, and everything ran perfectly. So, I decided to revert back to VBox 5.2.4 and tried to reinstall the Guest Additions v5.2.4: everything OK. So I concluded that Windows installer is OK.

I then reinstalled VBox 5.2.8, and then again could'nt install the Guest Additions (same error log).

Isn't the cause in the VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe?

No, because millions of people would complain. And just because you installed another program, that doesn't mean anything. Different programs require different levels of authorization to install...

I can't imagine why the Notepad++ installer would need to install any device drivers, so this is not comparable.

Hello,

I do agree with both of you, Socratis and Mpack. Does that mean that Guest Additions 5.2.4 requires different permission levels than Guest Additions 5.2.6 and 5.2.8?

Not as far as I know. Nothing has changed in that front. I can't imagine any reason why one would fail and the other wouldn't.
• Did you try rebooting host/guest, just for kicks?
• Are you running them from the same location?
• Do you have the VBoxGAs.iso mounted in another VM? Or a snapshot?
* Just for kicks, right-click on the installer, Run-As-Administrator.
Just shooting in the dark here...

Hello,

I did reboot the host/guest, the ISO is mounted as CD-ROM drive of the VM, I tried to run the VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe and even VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe through a right-clik and Run admin, but still the same.

Regarding the location, I tried yesterday from another location (home), out of the office, but still the same.

How is this possible? I can't understand, and I can't figure out what to try...
