Can't access \\VBOXSVR in iTunes

Post by blooglet »

I'm trying to access \\VBOXSVR in iTunes. I can see it in Windows Explorer but not in iTunes.

Things I've already tried:
  • Refreshing the folder view
  • Re-opening the "Open iTunes library" window
  • Restarting iTunes altogether
  • Typing \\VBOXSVR in the browse window (result: one of those "network path could not be found" errors)
  • The workaround mentioned in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937624/en-us
  • Launching iTunes with elevated privileges
While I was trying to access the resource in iTunes, I had no issues manipulating the network resource through Windows Explorer. Could this odd behavior be related to VirtualBox? I've never had any problems accessing my iTunes library over a network in VMware. iTunes is up-to-date, by the way. I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
