![]() ![]() Then reinstall Guest Additions the usual way. I had to forst "release" it then "remove" it. Here's how I fixed mine: Before starting the virtual machine, uninstall the Guest Additions by going into the Settings menu, CD/DVD-ROM. It's inexplicable why the programmers, knowing that this would break every virtual machine out there, failed to include a migration path and a clear reference to it in the error message rather than forcing all users to duplicate the process wasting valuable time diagnosing and troubleshooting this. The error message tells you that "C:\PROGRA~1\Sun\XVMVIR~1\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso" can't be found but offers no clue how to remedy the problem. They arbitrarily changed the default program location fromįor no apparent reason, breaking existing virtual machines. When upgrading from 3.0.4 to 3.0.8 (in my case), which should be a minor release, What's so hard in removing the GA ISO from the Media Manager and add it again using the Device > Install GA menu from a running VM? It's just something that happens when programs change their name, and thus the installation location. Live with it, it's not a fatal problem, nor a bug. The only difference is that VB now no longer gives a fatal error about it. Every big change to the company changed the install folder, and the media manager didn't change the registration with it, resulting in the same error as people are having now. Versions prior to 1.6.0 were installed in C:\Program Files\Innotek\VirtualBox, =>1.6.0 became C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox, and now it's back to C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox. Why should it be fixed? If you upgraded each installation from older versions, you would have gotten the same problem. This problem should be fixed in the next Vbox release. I had to go into Virtual Media Manager and remove the old one and add the new iso file.
