Guest additions doesn't do anything.

[Jack.Straw]

Hello. I'm running Ubunt hardy 8.04 and playing with virtualdrive. My first try i installed a copy of Vista and that went very well. Then i managed to get a live partition version of vista that i dual boot with running inside ubuntu... and that also (after trial and error and much internet reading) went well. Finally i decided i wanted XP to run inside Ubuntu and not my dual-boot version of vista.

So i deleted the virual vista installation and installed TiinyXP Platinum II. Everything seemed to go well, but i am unable to get the guest additions to install. The option is there (in virtualbox) and i select it but nothing happens. It worked fine with the other virtual machines.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Start it via Explorer over CD Drive.

I ended up solving this by installing it manually. I found the it on Google Code:
