OK, let's take a step back here...
1) DOS is not a supported guest operating system in VPC 2007. Therefore,
there are no Additions for DOS in VPC 2007.
2) DOS was a supported guest operating system in the previous version of
VPC. Therefore, it will be necessary to get hold of the previous version of
the Additions. If you don't have them, you can download them here:
http://www.essjae.com/VPC/VPC2004VMAdditions.zip
3) Extract the DOS Additions .VFD file and capture it while the DOS virtual
machine is running.
4) Run the install program from the virtual floppy.

Or you can just open the ISO in any Windows VM (capture ISO image) and copy
the files out that way.

Message:It's okay now, but it is running out of memory when executing autoexec.bat.
I used memmaker to no avail... I can add those lines in my autoexec.bat but
the conventional memory seems to be overcrowded
so I can't start other programs
Thanks

Message:I've already done all the work of setting up a Win98 DOS disk that includes
Virtual PC file sharing. Instructions (and a download) here:

Networking between a DOS machine and an XP host is possible, but not really
practical. You can find prebuilt setup files for NetBEUI and TCPIP here:
http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/vpcdosnetworkfiles.zip
I haven't touched them since 2002, but presumably they'll still work.

Message:Use a floppy to share files if you cannot get the VM additions to work.. The
console prompt in Windows 98 will work fine and it can be rebooted in DOS for
games. Windows 98 is supported as a guest OS wven with Virtual PC 2007.
Windows 3.11 etc is also not supported. WIndows 2000 up are all that are
recognized.
The oldest version of Windows we have tested in Windows 98 SE.
