no access to share from W7 guest

[eljibe]

Hi all,

Here is my configuration:
Linux Host (linux mint 12 x64)
vbox 4.1.12
Windows 7 Professionnal guest (x86)
guest additions installed on the guest system
extension pack installed on the host system
shared folders configured with full access to external USB HDD mounted in /media/ZEUS, share named zshare
path \\vboxsvr\zshare (or \\vboxsrv\zshare) doesn't work :'(
I think I tried everything that came to my mind, including googling my question, but no solution :'(

Actually, network \\VBOXSVR doesn't appear at all...

Would appreciate any hint.

I suspect that you have not installed the guest additions properly. Try uninstalling them, then run the installer (inside the guest) manually using "Run as administrator".

will try right now, will tell if that works.
EDIT: done. Did work. Thanks a bunch! This did keep my nerves in quite a state for 2 days!
thanks again
