I successfully installed Arch Linux 3.12.7-2 i686 GNU/Linux, following the instructions of the beginners' guide on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide. Host is Windows 7 Ultimate, VirtualBox is 4.3.6.
I've had less luck with the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Running autorun.sh or VBoxLinuxAdditions.run on the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso fails with a message that the Linux version is not recognised, as predicted by the guide. But trying the alternative fails at the first step: 'running pacman -S virtualbox_guest_utils fails due to unresolvable dependencies; cannot resolve "X-ABI-VIDEODRV_version<15" '. I tried running pacman -S virtualbox_guest_modules anyway; pacman didn't give any error messages, but the guest additions are not functional (e.g., the shared files are not visible, no entry reflecting the automount of the shared files, 'switch to seamless mode' and 'auto-resize guest display' are grayed out in the VM menu).
Any help would be most appreciated!
