The mouse is not tied to the VM Additions at all...
THe VPC emulation presents a PS/2 mouse and keyboard to the virtual
machine and any software that can handle that is able to start using
the mouse. I have several guests where there simply does not exist VM
Additions and yet the mouse works just fine.

Your problem is somewhere else. (Maybe the operating system you are
installing cannot recognize a PS/2 mouse?)
