Install Virtual Machine additions on Server 2008 server core.

I'm using Virtual PC 2007 sp1 on a host Windows XP machine. I created a
Virtual Machine running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Server Core. How can I
install Virtual Machine Additions for this Server Core 08 VM? I did try to
install but not succeeded. What I did is go to comand prompt and run setup.

D:\windows\setup.exe

Volume in drive D is VMADDITIONS13.820

When it was almost finished, it run "rolling back action" and display the
message "Setup was interrupted before Virtual Machine Additions could be
completely installed".

Does any body know how to fix it?

Thank you very much

I installed successfully Virtual Machine Additions with Windows Server 2008
Enterprise but not with Server Core. I want to install Additions on Server
Core just because to make the cursor move easily between host and VM.

The "VM Additions" are just a new video driver and a couple of services.
If the files can be isolated I imagine you would install them the same as
any other driver or service in 2008 core: with some command line magic.

Firstly, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise isn't a supported guest OS on VPC
2007 SP1.

The only officially supported guest OS (and, therefore, the only OS for
which additions exist) are:

Windows Vista Business, Enterprise & Ultimate
Windows XP Home & Professional
Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 98 Second Edition
OS/2 Warp 4

I can't be 100% certain, but this may very well be the problem...

Yes, but that's a workstation OS, not a server OS...

To get VMA to install disable the sound card for the VM. That should do it.

Hi Tawn,
This is great indeed!
One thing I noticed in the URL "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/overview.mspx" is that Win Server 2008 x86 is the only Guest OS supported. Is my interpretation correct.
Let me know, as I was planning to install x64 on a VPC 2007 SP1.
Thanks in advance.
NCH.

No 64 bit operating systems can be installed as guests in VPC2007. The
