Serial port: failed

Post by diablo__ »

/dev/ttyS0 is changed to \dev\ttyS0

When I start the virtual machine, I got the following error message (and the virtual machine cannot be started):
Failed to open host device '\dev\ttyS0' (VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND).

It seems VirtualBox is changing the slashes '/' into backslash '\'. Is there any workarround?

If I write the port correctly, close the settings window and open it again, the path is already changed (backslash instead of slash)

What's your host?
What's your VirtualBox version?

Complete and full details please.
