I have been searching for the VNC ExtensionPack and have been unable to locate it. Is this something that still exists? If so, where would I locate it.
I searched the forums and there are references to source code and also to prebuilt packages but I have yet to identify the extensionpack.

Unfortunately, RDP is not an option for me. Are there alternatives that would allow you to connect to the guest via VNC?

Ch. 9.23 Other extension packs of the User Manual has the answers.

Install a VNC server in the guest?

Adding a VNC server to the guest -- great idea. I did that and it worked, however I would like to utilize the built-in tools within virtualbox if possible.
So far, Googling the subject has brought any clarity to the situation.

I attempted to apply the settings as described but the command errored out. Please advise
VBoxManage setproperty vrdeextpack VNC

VBoxManage.exe: error: No extension pack by the name 'VNC' was found
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component ExtPackManagerWrap, interface IExtPackManager, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "COMSETTER(DefaultVRDEExtPack)(Bstr(a->argv[1]).raw())" at line 887 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp

. . . VNC, which is open source and . . .

I have not compiled the application. I will see how doable that is for me.

Thank you,

How do You build the extentionpack ? Where do you find the EXPak sourcecode ?
