Remarks
This method attempts to locate the ISO image for the latest Additions and attach it to a DVD drive in the virtual machine. If the virtual machine is booted and running a Windows-based guest operating system, Windows will autorun the Additions installer. If the virtual machine is not completely booted, or the guest operating system has autorun disabled, or the guest operating system is not Windows-based, you will need to manually launch the Additions installer. The virtual machine must be running and contain an empty DVD drive when this method is invoked. Virtual Server 1.1 only supports Windows Additions. Linux and OS/2 Additions are not available.
