Vm Ext pack error

[Thunderstorm79]

i have mad a Vm with windows 10 on it and i want to use the remote desktop connection on it but its telling me to get the ext pack for it but when i try and install it all i get is this
this is the ext pack i think i am suspose to use : Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.28-97679
i have the VirtualBox 4.3.26 for Windows hosts x86/amd64
and this is the error i am getting see attachment

[Thunderstorm79]

i have even tried the ext pack Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.26-98988

[socratis]

The VirtualBox version and the ExtPack version have to be the same.

[Thunderstorm79]

i have tried that both the 989
still error

[Thunderstorm79]

i will give some one access to my pc to fix it

[Thunderstorm79]

this is the error for the ext pak 989

Try installing the extension pack from a subfolder, not the root folder of a drive. VirtualBox has been known to have problems with that before.

As Socratis said, the extpack version number must match the VirtualBox version, otherwise you are just wasting time. If you have VirtualBox 4.3.26 installed then you must install the 4.3.26 extension pack - that being the pack which extends VBox 4.3.26.

Oh, and with whatever guide you are following, please note the difference between (host) extension pack and Guest Additions.

If you need to continue this conversation then provide a VM log file: Minimum information needed for assistance.

as i am only learning this all together could u explain what u mean by sub folder and i have the software installed on a ext drive as well i just need you to guide me though it thanks

It looks like you downloaded the ext pk to your download folder on your C: drive but it's looking to install it on an E: drive.

Are you trying to install the ext pk in the VirtualBox preferences?

[Thunderstorm79]

yea i download it then put it in E

[loukingjr]

why?
move it back to your c: drive
open virtualbox
go to preferences>extensions
remove any existing ext pk
add the 4.3.26 ext pk.

because i am on my laptop and there is no room and i am not going to damage my c drive and there is no other ext packs on it i have never worked with this befor my exp in this area is 0 and i dont hve any it exp either i am studying cert 1 in it atm

[loukingjr]

Are you saying you have no VirtualBox installation on your laptop?

[Thunderstorm79]

i have the app installed on my ext hdd because of space issues

[loukingjr]

That's fine and VirtualBox runs from it.

Then you should be able to do what I said, Start VirtualBox etc.
