virtualization - Setting a virtualbox with a functional shared folder - Ask Ubuntu


i know there multiple questions already, none of answers helped me achieve objective: run windows xp guest within virtual box ubuntu 16.04 host, with functional shared folder between host , guest.

i need step step approach need do, in os (host or guest), version , in installation order, starting zero, no virtual box related packages installed , no additional repositories added.

what know that:

-i need install virtual box

-i need install virtual box guest additions compatible virtual box version installed.

-i need set shared folder in virtual box (i know how it)

-windows xp must recognise folder

so far tried multiple times multiple versions in multiple installation orders, ended windows xp not showing shared folder, auto-mount on shared folder.

running on guest cmd:

net use x: \vboxsvr\mysharedfiles -p

always returned "system error 53. network path not found."

i ran same system error guest os windows 10. issue wrong version of vbox extension pack on ubuntu host.

check vbox version via 'help' - 'about' , version of extension pack in 'files' - 'preferences'.

after did downgrade on host , reinstalled guest additions in win 10 guest shared folder showed without running 'net use' command.

hope helps if still facing issue!

cheers
