VirtualBox fun
« on: March 14, 2011, 08:06:49 AM »
Just updated  one of my pc's that had vbox on it and vbox disappeared. Ran getvbox and everything seemed fine. Installed xp and couldn't get remote access to work. Fumbled around for a disgusting amount of time. An extension pack has to be installed for remote access to work. It was an easy fix, just took a long time to find. Hopefully no one else has to go through this.

Did I miss something?  Is VBOX 4.04 out of testing and in the main repo?
