9558	"Devices | ""Install guest additions"" doesn't work"	Daniel Convissor		"Host: Ubuntu 10.4.3, 64 bit
[[BR]]Guest: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit

/etc/apt/sources.list contains:
[[BR]]deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib non-free

Upgraded from 3.2.x to 4.1.2 by calling:
[[BR]]apt-get install virtualbox-4.1

Started the guest.  Selected Devices | ""Install guest additions.""  Nothing happened.

To get them installed, I needed to manually mount the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, explore the ""CD"" and double click on the appropriate exe.

Perhaps the program is looking in the wrong place for VBoxGuestAdditions.iso?  The manual (http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html) says it is usually in /opt/VirtualBox, but the Debian packages have it in /usr/share/virtualbox.

Or perhaps it's autorun related or maybe I had another ISO mounted already?

If so, the code could be more robust to account for such situations.

Or perhaps it's just a matter of updating the manual?"	defect	closed	guest additions	VirtualBox 4.1.2	obsolete			Windows	Linux
