Need help with with setting up Virtualbox tools

Post by virtualboxuser092846 »

My version of VirtualBox: Virtualbox 7.0 Version 7.0.12 r159484 (Qt5.15.2) <- this includes the Extension Pack version.
Guest additions on the guest machine Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions 7.0.12.
Host make and version: Windows 10 Pro (64 bits) 16GB RAM.
Guest make and version: Windows Server Standard 2008, Service Pack 2 (32 bits) 1024MB RAM.
Included all the log files as a zipped attachment.


Tried to get the guest settings, from the cmd on the folder of the VM and running commands to try to find the uuid, could find the uuid, but couldn't run the specific command to check for my specific guest OS machine. These are the commands I tried to run on the windows cmd:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.4170]

Now for the problems, I'm having problems with my Windows Server 2008 (32 bits) on VirtualBox, with problems related to VirtualBox, which are the following:
my guest additions are corrupted for some unknown reason, I can only install from inside the cd drive, for the x32 bit version of my Windows Server 2008

There were code signing issues in the Guest Additions. Should be fixed with 7.0.14. Just upgrade the package on the host and install the associated Guest Additions.
