Problem with installing Guest Addition

Post by XChiN »

i am having problem when i tried to install Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions 4.2.6 in backtrack 5 r3 .

below is the error i get.

Installing drivers ...
Output folder: Z:\VirtualBox Guest Additions
Installing guest driver ...

ERROR (e000020b): Unknown error!

ERROR: Could not install files for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista! Installation aborted.

My OS: Windows XP (32-bit)
i have to mention that i got 2 hard disk drive which is C: and D: . my window and virtualbox is installed at C drive but i used D drive to allocate disk space for backtrack 5 r3 since my C drive left abit space while my D drive still have alot space. which means the drive that saves all the backtrack 5 r3 files is D drive. so i am thinking is this causing me getting error.
i have tried to install Guest Additions at different drive but still it wont work.
any help is greatly appreciated. :D

As the name said: Guest Additions. To be installed in the guest and not on the host.
