Have uninstalled and reinstalled VirtualBox 4.2.12 with the extension
pack...
Still can't see how to load the guest additions in a Windows guest.
There isn't an ISO to mount, and as I wrote below, it just adds .dlls and
'doc' type files in Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\Extensions\{version}.
Should I be setting a share to this from the guest, and specify that
location for driver updates in the guest?
The 'Help' doesn't seem to address these questions... nor the
documentation...
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
Regards,
Bob W
I happened to have been able to fix the refusal to install in the host by
deleting C:\Program
Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\ExtensionPacks\{someversion}Uninst.
But when I open a virtual machine, it still reports the old version, and
there isn't an install option off the menu (Windows XP is the machine in
this case).
So I'm just confused how it even works, because it's just a bunch of .dll's
and various "doc"-type files... no installer, per se.
There was some version back that I changed the machine gui guest additions
to be an iso file.
So you may be right - the only "sure" way may be to uninstall and
re-install.

I don't know anything about the error messages that you posted, but
generally speaking you can fix every problem of this type by (a)
uninstalling virutalbox, (b) re-downloading fresh copies of the virtualbox
and extension pack installers (ensure they're both the same version). and
(c) you guess what comes next. ;-)
Also, when you install the extension pack, there's more than one way to do
it. I always go to the menu in the GUI, and from there, select to install
the extension pack. Shouldn't matter, but superstition.
