[Solved] Shared folder path 'D:\...' is not absolute.

Post by xerces8foo »

Failed to save the settings.
Shared folder path 'D:\moje\Downloads\' is not absolute.

Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
vbox 6.0.6
tried to make shared folder.

Why is D:\something "not absolute" ?

Oh, apparently the trailing backslash is confusing it.

Without it it works fine.
