After a recent upgrade to the Veertu virtualization software<\/a>, many users – including myself – have been surprised to find out that the Shared Folder with the Mac OS X host has all but disappeared into oblivion, re-installing the Guest Additions did not at all resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

Browsing thru Veertu’s Knowledge Base I came across an article<\/a> that described this particular problem and relates it to having the newer share folder driver signing done with SHA256 whereas Windows 7 only supports SHA128 out of the box (or at least, without much updating whatsoever).<\/p>\n

Fixing it (thus getting back the Shared Folders) is rather easy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fetch and install the respective updates from Microsoft:\n
      \n
    1. Windows 7 x86 \/ 32-bit SHA256 driver signing update<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Windows 7 x64 \/ 64-bit SHA256 driver signing update<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Reinstall the Guest Additions in your Virtual Machine<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
