Win10, you may need to re-enable the SMB 1.0 support module, which is now disabled by default. If you want a long term solution then the only practical one is a true network share, but do bear in mind that Win98's network support is ancient: it will not recognize a folder share published by your host, so in fact you have to publish a guest folder and have it be recognized by your host. there won't be a long term need to exchange files with Win98. You can use ISOs to get files into the guest, and in fact that's what I recommend since I assume the problem is short lived, i.e. Should I just make my files into Iso's and call it a day or is there actually a way to use shared folders?Īs has been mentioned, you can't use GA shared folders (the type configured in the VM settings), since GAs have not been written for Win98. How do I share files from my main to my guest? The shared folders thingy isnt showing up in network groups.
