|
---|
| 11 |
|
---|
| 12 | Add VBoxGuest using registry editor (regedt32.exe):
|
---|
| 13 | - Copy the VBoxGuest.sys file to %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers.
|
---|
| 14 | - Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Service/
|
---|
| 15 | - Create VBoxGuest key with the following values:
|
---|
| 16 | DisplayName (REG_SZ) = "VBoxGuest Support Driver"
|
---|
| 17 | ErrorControl (REG_DWORD) = 0x1
|
---|
| 18 | Group (REG_SZ) = "System"
|
---|
| 19 | ImagePath (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = System32\drivers\VBoxGuest.sys
|
---|
| 20 | Start (REG_DWORD) = 0
|
---|
| 21 | Type (REG_DWORD) = 0x1
|
---|
| 22 | - Reboot.
|
---|
| 23 | - Open the "Devices" in the "Control Panel", locate the VBoxGuest driver
|
---|
| 24 | and check that it started fine.
|
---|
| 25 |
|
---|
| 26 | If FAT file system s/VBoxGuest.sys/VBoxGst.sys/ above.
|
---|
| 27 |
|
---|
| 28 |
|
---|
| 29 | Install VBoxService by copying it to %SystemRoot%\system32 and run
|
---|
| 30 | "VBoxService --register". Go to "Services" in the "Control Panel" and modify
|
---|
| 31 | the "VirtualBox Guest Additions Service" to startup "Automatic". If VBoxGuest
|
---|
| 32 | is already started you can start the service (also possible using
|
---|
| 33 | "net start VBoxService").
|
---|
| 34 |
|
---|
| 35 | Install VBoxMouseNT.sys by copying it %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers and using
|
---|
| 36 | the registry editor (regedt32.exe) to set (create it if necessary) value
|
---|
| 37 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Service/i8042prt/ImagePath
|
---|
| 38 | (REG_EXPAND_SZ) to "System32\drivers\VBoxGuestNT.sys". (The i8042prt driver
|
---|
| 39 | is the NT PS/2 mouse + keyboard driver and VBoxGuestNT.sys replaces it.)
