vboxmanage missing in xp guest

Post by DrTyldesley »

Dear All,

Im new to virtualbox, but for my testing purposes I am finding it amazing. I am running it on Mac OSX. one problem I want to do some configuration changes and try as much as I can I cannot find the vboxmanage program to do some command line changes. I have looked on the Internet and on the forum, but still cannot find any advice about where to find it or if I need to install some more options. Sorry if I am missing something obvious here.

Thanks in advance

VBoxManage does not run in the guest. It runs on the host.
