| 8 | The Guest Additions enable starting of applications inside a guest
|
|---|
| 9 | VM from the host system. This feature can be used to automate
|
|---|
| 10 | deployment of software within the guest.
|
|---|
| 11 | </p>
|
|---|
| 12 | <p>
|
|---|
| 13 | For this to work, the application needs to be installed on the
|
|---|
| 14 | guest. No additional software needs to be installed on the host.
|
|---|
| 15 | Additionally, text mode output to stdout and stderr can be shown
|
|---|
| 16 | on the host for further processing. There are options to specify
|
|---|
| 17 | user credentials and a timeout value, in milliseconds, to limit
|
|---|
| 18 | the time the application is able to run.

| 21 | The Guest Additions for Windows allow for automatic updating. This
|
|---|
| 22 | applies for already installed Guest Additions versions. Also,
|
|---|
| 23 | copying files from host to the guest as well as remotely creating
|
|---|
| 24 | guest directories is available.
|
|---|
| 25 | </p>

| 27 | To use these features, use the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> command line. See
|
|---|
