Re: Can't find VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
Just start the VM and click on the Devices menu, then at the bottom click on "Install Guest Additions". The ISO should now be loaded. If it isn't, then unmount the currently loaded medium first, then try again.

Re: Can't find VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
Sorry,
I have the same problem and the further solution did not help
I´m Using iMac with Mavericks and VirtualBox Ver 4.3.8.
guest-System is WIN XP Pro (running fine)
If I click on the DVD-Symbol and use "Choose a virtual CD/DVD-Disk-File
the Finder-Window opens. But nowhere on my machine I can find the iso......
What´s my mistake??
Best regards!!
Felix
