-====== Oracle VirtualBox (for OS compatibility) ====== 
-This guide describes how to create a shared virtualbox between several users in a Windows domain environment. \\ 
-This guide will use a virtual machine with Windows XP, but it could be anything you like. The purpose of this \\ 
-is to have a virtual environment for programs that can’t run on your primary Operating System. 
  
-The package creates a shortcut on all users’ desktop called “Create VirtualXP”. When someone clicks this icon,\\ 
- a new shortcut will appear on __that users’ desktop__ called “VirtualXP”. This shortcut loads the shared virtual machine, \\ 
-disables auto-update and disables all the default pop-up messages. If the icon has already been clicked, nothing will happen. 
- 
-**Tested With:** 
-  * OPSI 4.0.2.4 
-  * Winst 4.11.3.3 
-  * Windows 7, 64-Bit 
- 
-**Instructions:** 
- 
-Okay, this package is not that easy and you will need to do some preparations for it to work. 
-  * Prepare VirtualBox-installer (.msi): 
-    * Start off by downloading VirtualBox for Windows from: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads 
-    * Open a command prompt and write: VirtualBox-4.3.0-89960-Win.exe –extract 
-    * You can now find the .msi-file under Appdata → Local → Temp → Virtualbox. You will need both the .msi-file (x64) and the common.cab.  
-    * Copy them to CLIENT_DATA\VirtualBox 
-  * Prepare the certificate for silent install: 
-    * Now you should install the program (just use the .exe-file) – accept the certificate when prompted. 
-    * When installed, go to Run… and write certmgr.msc. 
-    * Navigate to “trusted publishers” → Right click and browse to Export… - export the certificate as “oraclecert.cer”.  
-    * Copy the certificate to CLIENT_DATA\Certificate 
-  * Prepare the virtual machine: 
-    * Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox (doesn’t have to be Windows XP – could also be linux ect.) and set it up with the software you like. 
-    * Network could cause problems when you install the package to a new PC if “bridged” mode is set – I use NAT. 
-    * When the virtual machine is created as you like, shut it down. 
-    * Copy the VM-folder from <user folder>\VirtualBox VMs to CLIENT_DATA\VMs-folder. 
-  * Prepare the user-specific shortcut: 
-    * Create a shortcut to your desktop with a path to: "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" startvm VirtualXP. 
-    * Copy this shortcut to CLIENT_DATA\VMs-folder. 
-  * Prepare the .bat-file: 
-    * Create a .bat-file (scroll to bottom) and copy it to CLIENT_DATA\VMs.
