I am trying to find the location to down load Virtual PC Additions. I have
tried the “Action” window in the Virtual PC Console, but there is no down
load option.
I am running Vista Home Premium as the host operating system & XP Pro
Operating System in a Virtual PC machine 6.0.1.156.0.
Where can I find the Additions?
They are installed on your computer when you install VPC. The item on the
Action Menu is Install or Update the Virtual Machine Additions, not download
them. What happens when you use the Action Menu item while the virtual
machine is running (it must be running to install the vm adds)?
The vm adds .iso is in the Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual
Machine Additions folder.

Colin,
The only chooses in the Action Menu are:
Close…
Pause
Reset
Remove
Settings
Properties
Perhaps I have the wrong version?

No, you are looking at the wrong Action Menu. You are looking on the
Virtual PC Console. That is not the virtual machine.
Look at the virtual machine and choose Action from the menu at the upper
left of the vm's console.
