64 bit host & 32 bit VM file sharing

Message:

With my new laptop I'm finally trying out VPC and have run into a few,
hopefully "newbie" questions I can't find answers for.

Is it possible to share files between a 64 bit host (Vista Ultimate) and a
32 bit VM (XP Pro SP2)? I'm finding drag & drop is not working and trying to
set up a shared drive is disabled; this is leading me to believe either I've
missed something (entirely possible) or the difference in the OSs prevents
this.

Yes - in fact, VPC doesn't support 64-bit guests at all (and almost
certainly never will in its current form)

Did you get any errors when you installed the Additions on your guest...?
