    Windows 10 VirtualBox Shared Folders Oddity


    I'm running VBox 5.0 on Windows 8.1 and have created VMs for Windows 7 and Windows 10 release 10240. In both VMs I have installed Visual Basic 6 (VB6).

    Everything is working fine except for one strange difference. When running the Windows 7 VM, I can double-click a VB6 project file located on a shared folder and the project will be successfully opened in VB6. However, when I attempt to do the same from the Windows 10 VM, a "Path not found" error is generated.

    Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?



    :)

    Problem accessing shared folder in VirtualBox (Host is Mac OSX. Guest is Windows 10)

    I have been running Windows 10 in VirtualBox and accessing files across OS's via a shared folder.

    Windows updated this morning and now I've lost access to the shared folder.

    I've removed the folder from the VirtualBox Shared Folder list (Windows is booted up). Have re-added the folder (Automount and Make Permanent set). I've restarted a number of times. No impact.

    Tried re-installing VirtualBox Guest Additions. This fails with "No device Ids found ...unknown error (0xE0000301)".

    Have re-downloaded VirtualBox and re-installed. Still no share and still can't install guest additions.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you for trying to help but recent changes to my system have made the problem disappear for me. I upgraded my main OS from Windows 8.1 to 10, so that I no longer require to run the Win 10 TP under VirtualBox.
