VXBOX Additions changes
I do change this to have shared folder support on the WPS. (Not available with the regular VirtualBox version).
You need to copy:
- Copy VBOXGUEST.IFS, VBoxMouse.sys and VBOXSERVICE.EXE (Rename the old replaced one) to C:\OS2ADDITIONS
- Copy VBoxFSAttach.exe, VBoxFS.ifs to C:\OS2ADDITIONS
Change on the config.sys
REM IFS=C:\OS2Additions\vboxsf.ifs IFS=C:\OS2Additions\vboxfs.ifs run=c:\os2additions\VBoxService.exe
Remove VBOXService from the Startup Folder (no longer needed)
Run "VBOXFSATTACH z: OS2TEMP" to mount the z: drive.
