If not I will just hope that VirtualBox somehow / magically has changed to automatically download the new Guest addition to go along with the updated version of VirtualBox. I hope this longer explanation will help you understand my issue. To install we need to run the installer script n as root or from the Autorun Prompt (see below). iso will be loaded but not installed in your guest OS. Today after installing the newest version when I came into the Host Windows 7 System and clicked on the Devices Tab and selected " insert Guest Addition CD Image" nothing happens. Selecting Devices -> Install Guest Additions (or press Host + D from the Virtual Box Manager) the Guest Additions CD.

A window would automatically pop up and ask if I wanted to install the new Gest Addition and I would simply answer Yes and the new Guest addition would be downloaded from the internet. I would do this by clicking on the Devices Tab and selecting " Insert Guest Additions CD Image" I did not actually insert a CD.

In the past when I updated VirtualBox and then opened my Host Windows 7 System a message would pop up that I needed to install the new Guest Addition. I may have to give up on this and simply accept the change. scottgus1 Site Moderator Posts: 18151 Joined: 30.Thanks for the response. VBox GuestAdditons Oracle VM VirtualBox Base Packages - 7.0.4 Freely available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris x86 platforms under GPLv3: You might want to compare the SHA256 checksum or the MD5 checksum to verify the integrity of downloaded packages. And use the ISO that came with Virtualbox t o install the GAs. But having the GAs be ahead of the main VB, that could go pear-shaped soon.Īs an example, when the GAs were causing shared folder issues recently, the devs didn't put out just new GAs, they put out a whole test-build of the entire Virtualbox program, GAs included.ĭon't allow installing of new GAs without installing the matching version of Virtualbox. Allowing the GAs to fall behind the main VB version isn't bad for a while.

If you change the GAs to a newer version with different capabilities, the host Virtualbox software won't know what the GAs are doing and problems will develop. As the developers update capabilities they put these capabilities in both the main Virtualbox and the GAs ISO. The Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed.

Click on the Devices given in the Oracle VirtualBox menu and then click Share Clipboard and. Software that has to work with partner software has to know what the partner is doing. Step 6: Enable Share Clip and Drag & Drop features. It is not good to go downloading GAs besides the version that comes with the Virtualbox installer.
