Re: Uninstalling Virtual Machine Additions

I cannot find an Install Shield folder on the Vista OS, as the issue appears
to be related to the Group Policy,
I would prefer a solution along that way. Who can enlighten me on this item?
It may also be possible that the VM
additions could not be uninstalled at all (as they are - partly - loaded at
the driver level).
