Officially? No, you can't. Users have tried it with mixed success in Vista compatibility.

not to be a jerk or something, but for me, guest additions in windows 7 build 6956 in vista compatibility mode work perfectly (indeed i haven't tried the shared folders function, but the mouse integration and the resize-by-window-maximize function work exactly as they should).

BTW after reading some complaints about host key not working in windows 7 even with guest additions, again , not to be a jerk, but it really hasn't happened to me

SORRY IF OFF-TOPIC! :oops: :oops:

That's why I said, MIXED results. Some have it working, some don't. And the TS asked for build 7000, you use an older release ;).
