| | Install Virtual Machine additions on Server 2008 server core. I'm using Virtual PC 2007 sp1 on a host Windows XP machine. I created a Virtual Machine running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Server Core. How can I install Virtual Machine Additions for this Server Core 08 VM? I did try to install but not succeeded. What I did is go to comand prompt and run setup. D:\windows\setup.exe Volume in drive D is VMADDITIONS13.820 When it was almost finished, it run "rolling back action" and display the message "Setup was interrupted before Virtual Machine Additions could be completely installed". Does any body know how to fix it? Thank you very much |

The only officially supported guest OS (and, therefore, the only OS for which additions exist) are: Windows Vista Business, Enterprise & Ultimate Windows XP Home & Professional Windows 2000 Professional Windows 98 Second Edition OS/2 Warp 4 I can't be 100% certain, but this may very well be the problem... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

If the files can be isolated I imagine you would install them the same as any other driver or service in 2008 core: with some command line magic. |

| | Re: Install Virtual Machine additions on Server 2008 server core. I installed successfully Virtual Machine Additions with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise but not with Server Core. I want to install Additions on Server Core just because to make the cursor move easily between host and VM. |
