Unable to install vmadditions in DOS VM

I created a DOS 6.22 VM with VPC 2007 and now I'm trying to get VMADDITIONS
installed but getting nowhere.
I've tried everything I can think of and it's just not working. The VM
method on the Action menu does nothing. I did get the CD-ROM installed but
I'm not sure I used the right driver since I can't read any CDs. There was no
CD-ROM driver on the DOS install disks so I grabbed generic Oak driver, but
now I don't know where else to go.
Any idea how to:
1. Install VMADDITIONS
2. Get a correct CD-ROM driver for DOS 6.22 for VPC 2007

Hi, to install the VMAdditions just download MagicDisc which acts as a
virtual disc drive but you can also mount iso images to it without a disc and
just go to your program files find vpc and go into vmadditions and just mount
it on to magic disc and it should install it.

Why bother since VPC has the native ability to mount ISO files? There's no
need to install anything extra in a guest to accomplish this.
