Can't find GuestAdditions.iso for VBox v2.04

Post by Towetta »

Hello. I am new here, and looking for some help.

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 as a host, and Windows XP Home as a Guest. I did this because I still need Photoshop for my job...

I want to create .jpg files that I need to store permanently in my Ubuntu once VBox is shut down, but I cannot install "Guest Applications" to create share folders, as I read in this forum.

I click on "Devices>Install Guest Applications" VBox does not find the .iso file and asks for a Download. I accept to download, but there is no such file at the other side of the link...
I have visited http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.0.4/ and tried to download th VBoxGuestApplications_2.0.4.iso file, but there is no such file.

Do you know how could I create permanent folders to store the files I want to manage with the host (Ubuntu 8.10) once the guest is sut down?

Any URL to download de .iso file?

Many thanks!
