Cant get it to start as a service, completely baffled!

Post by BodleyTunes »

It cant find the registered virtual machine?

I've tried doing it by name, UUID, UUID with curly brackets.

Checked the hard link is created fine, service seems to start from services .msc but I always get the same error in teh logs that it cant find the registered virtualbox.
