VBoxGuestAdditions moved to other dir 3.0.4 - .10

[Mobel]

Host: XP; Guest: XP

VBoxGuestAdditions.iso had been moved from 3.0.4: ..\XVMVirtualBox to 3.0.10: ..\VirtualBox.
A link or whatever from old dir to new dir is missing.

A guest running under 3.0.4 before refused to start with the message:
"Cannot access ..\XVMVirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"

Help: make a copy of VBoxGuestAdditions.iso to the desired directory.

There was a warning about that before, and I believe I noted it in the VirtualBox FAQ, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, try to release the GA ISO from the VM and unregister the ISO from the Media Manager. If that doesn't work, close everything you have running from VB and open Windows Explorer. Type (or copy) the following location into the address bar and modify the VirtualBox.xml file to reflect the proper location.

Code: Select all

%userprofile%\.VirtualBox\

Look for a line like this (note, this example is from a Linux Host, so the location is different, but the idea is the same).

Code: Select all

<Image uuid="{f456988d-80ca-46af-9332-f30793edc489}" location="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"/>
