Unable to install additions

Hi,
after I set up Win 2003 server in VirtualBox 4.2.10, and then choose
Devices > Install Guest additions

to enable the shared path, I have got nothing happened. Why?

Clicking Devices > Install Guest additions simply mounts the GA cd in the guests virtual drive. If auto-run is disabled you have to start the install manually. Open you file manager and start the install.
