VBoxmanage unattended install

Code: Select all

VBoxmanage unattended install 

The scriptTemplatePath (XML file) and postInstallScriptTemplatePath (CMD file) are specified. However, I could not change the names of the two files in the img file generated by default, including "VBOXPOST.CMD". How can I change the name of the file "VBOXPOST.CMD"?
If I can't change the name, what command can I use to create an img file? I can also try to create an img file manually.

The names of the files you want to change are the same as the .vbox and .vdi files' names (before the .extension). The actual name is a UUID.

The name of the .vbox file is actually set by Virtualbox to be the name of the VM at creation. The .vdi file is also set the same by Virtualbox, though you have an opportunity to change it while creating the VM.

Did you intentionally name this VM by a UUID?

I am not familiar with the process that unattended installation goes through, so I can only guess why you can't change those names: maybe they need to be the same as the .vbox file name for Virtualbox to find them? Only a guess, though.

Since you're trying to customize things, please list exactly the steps you went through to make the VM, and the exact customizations you made afterward. Maybe a forum guru can help.
