I installed on a windows 8 host a virtual box with windows 7 operational system. I tried to create a shared folder but the guest addition wasn't installed.
These is the error received: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW

Were you installing the guest additions in the guest?

You install the guest additions (in the guest) by starting the guest and clicking on the devices tab at the top and selecting insert guest addition. Then you install them by accessing the guests file manager or terminal and using the virtual CD to access the install.

I did it i opened the device menu- CD/DVD devices - virtual disk- mounted the guest addition from the virtual box file and then chose the 64 bit. The installation was aborted in the middle

Well this could be part of your problem.

Windows.7.SP1.ALL.EDiTiONS.x86.x64.ACTiVATED.iso

00:00:05.503397 Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from CD-ROM...

First you need to make sure to use a valid/legit copy of Windows as a guest.
Secondly you must install the guest and since the guest is booting from the ISO it is impossible that you have actually installed it or that it is running from an installation.

I think Perry is looking for a polite way to tell you that we don't support cracked Windows downloads. Even if we wanted to we have no way to know what's in a non-standard distro. Get yourself a standard guest installer with a legit CD key and then we can talk.
