I'm not quite sure how to install the additions so that sharefolders becomes
available. I even burned the iso into a cd but when I run it, nothing gets
installed.

Any idea on how this is done will be appreciated.

Sorry about that. I'm running XP Pro on the VM.

I have selected the option below but nothing happens when I do. I've copy
the iso to a CD and still, nothing happens when I click on ok on the message
that comes up.

Thanks,
