[Resolved] Document is empty. VirtualBox.xml

Post by Needhelpasap »

Hey, I have had this problem for awhile now, but idk how to fix it. I have tried almost everything to fix it.
Document is empty.
Location: 'C:\Users\Odin\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
F:\tinderbox\win-6.0\src\VBox\Main\src-server\VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[624] (long __cdecl VirtualBox::init(void)).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: VirtualBoxWrap

Not a 'suggestion'. 'Using Virtualbox' would have been a better forum.

Your main configuration file for Virtualbox didn't write properly.

Close all Virtualbox windows and reboot your host so no Virtualbox processes are running.

Look for 'C:\Users\Odin\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml-prev'. If you find it, delete 'VirtualBox.xml' and rename 'VirtualBox.xml-prev' to 'VirtualBox.xml'.

If you don't find 'VirtualBox.xml-prev', then delete 'VirtualBox.xml' and start Virtualbox. Your guest list will be empty, but the guests will still be available. Find each guest's .vbox file using the Machine menu, Add.. and the guests will be re-registered. You may need to reset any global settings you changed in File menu, Preferences
