Virtualbox OSE and Shared Folder Issue [solved]

Postby wongmld » Mon, 22 Jun 2009 @ 3:08pm

Hi,

Does anyone know what's the difference (feature wise) between the OSE version (shipped by Ubuntu) and the binary version by Sun?

I tried creating the shared folder using the OSE version but was without much luck. Am now trying to download the binary version (2.2) to see if it make any difference.

[solved]
Silly me, didn't realize that I have to install the Guest Addition software in the WinXp Guest OS itself to access shared folder!

So nothing to do with the versions.

i think the main difference between the OSE and Sun versions is working USB pass-through. i think the difference is mentioned on the website.
