+ <title>Manual File Extraction</title>
+
+ <body>
+ <p>
+ If you would like to install the files and drivers manually,
+ you can extract the files from the Windows Guest Additions
+ setup as follows:
+ </p>
+ <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe /extract</pre>
+ <p>
+ To explicitly extract the Windows Guest Additions for another
+ platform than the current running one, such as 64-bit files on
+ a 32-bit system, you must use the appropriate platform
+ installer. Use
+ <filepath>VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe</filepath> or
+ <filepath>VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe</filepath> with the
+ <codeph>/extract</codeph> parameter.
