there was a packaging error with the initial 4.2.10 Windows package. It does not contain a correct Guest Additions image. If you downloaded the 4.2.10-84104 package during the weekend, please download the Windows package again. Use the 4.2.10-84105 release. Only Windows the Windows package was affected. If nothing happens when you select "Devices / Install Guest Additions" then the reason could be that the guest does not have CD/DVD automount enabled. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
