If you have your Windows host configured to lie to you about filenames ("hide extensions for known file types"), then just look for the same thing without the extension. for a Windows guest you run "VBoxGuestAdditions.exe". Obviously, that autoplay behaviour is deprecated these days, so in the likely event that nothing at all happens, you need to browse to the CD drive inside the guest and manually launch whatever installer is appropriate for the guest. So if it's configured to automatically play CDs that are inserted then the GAs installer will start by itself. As far as the guest OS is concerned, a CD was just inserted. What happens next depends on how the guest OS is configured. You DO NOT need to find the ISO, VirtualBox already knows where it is, and what version to use. In the VM menu (the menu at the top of the VM window), choose Devices|Install Guest additions. I would be grateful for any help that you may be able to lend with this. It is clear that the G:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe is not finding what it needs for a successful install. I thought of copying them to the G drive, but there is no room for anything but files that the VM control created. That worked fine and I can see the files in C:\drivers so tried to run the original G:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe again assuming it would find the drivers. #VIRTUALBOX SHARED FOLDER BETWEEN HOST AND GUEST DRIVERS#Now I looked in the 64Bit directory of the G drive that the VM control created and the drivers were not there but a readme.txt file was there and talked about extracting the drivers and using G:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe /extract /D=C:\Drivers. His installation went smoothly but mine did not. #VIRTUALBOX SHARED FOLDER BETWEEN HOST AND GUEST FOR WINDOWS 10#In my case G:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe for Windows 10 64 bit. From that point,Christians video indicated that one needs to run the appropriate file. My G drive was created by the VM control when setting the check box for the Inserts Guest Additions. May 2016, 01:30 I'm not saying its right, just data. "Sharing folders between guest and host" by Vision6D » 6. I can't repost his link so I will reference his post. The only posts that I could make any sense of was outlined from Christian with a video that he made. I didn't see anything that I could run for Guest Additions. Would it be possible to tell me how to do this? I have installed the extension pack which was supposed to be for the USB support as I understand it. I don't see any way to do the Guest Additions in the guest.

I am pasting my install_drivers.log Perhaps you may see something that I can do to make this installation work. #VIRTUALBOX SHARED FOLDER BETWEEN HOST AND GUEST INSTALL#It extracted the drivers successfully but did not install them. I found somewhere adding a suffix to running the file - G:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe /extract /D=C:\Drivers I tried exactly as the video did but mine did not install. A youtube video was very helpful giving me the direction to find out how to install the Guest Additions.
