@fabiano
i had the same problem as you. but i think i just figured it out.
hear this:
go to the virtual machine additions folder in your virtual OS then start the vpcmap.exe (you’ll notice that its the folder sharing service)
hope this works for you too

Thanks for the tip about sharing folders between a virtual machine and the host! I had wasted toooo much time trying to install a network between the two, which never did work. Sweet!

Hi, I have the same problem as NCH (Shared Folders appears to be “not installed” even if virtual machine additions are installed and the VM is running).
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Cool stuff !
But I have a problem.
I have a XP machine. I have installed VPC 2007 with Vista on it. Also installed the Additions as suggested. But I cannot access my host machine shared folder from within the Vista VPC.
When I see the Settings, it shows me the Shared Folder (“Z:”) on the right section, but I can’t select it, and the two buttons “Share Folder” and “Remove” both are disabled. Also, on the left side, it says “Not Installed” next to the “Shared Folder”.
In addition, I can’t even see this Z: from the VPC.
Any thoughts/ help would be higly appreciated.
Thanks.
