Ubuntu 16.04 and possible others need virtualbox-guest-additions-iso.

This is mentioned nowhere.

Same for Ubuntu 14.04, see output of shell script with -x enabled:

Attaching Guest Additions
+ return 0
+ VBoxManage storageattach 'IE11 - Win7' --storagectl 'IDE Controller' --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium additions
VBoxManage: error: Cannot find the Guest Additions ISO image

@jake9050 Forget this project, just download this latest images from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ install virtualbox and install them. It downloaded outdated shit back then and was not maintained good enough.

@nextgenthemes

Thanks for the tip! Too bad this project is not maintained properly anymore, i like the whole 'run it and be done' it offers.

There was someone who wanted to start something like this somewhere here in the issues, not sure if this became something.

But its not so many steps to manually get the images from M$ running.
