Since I installed the new version VB wont start and I am getting the following error code:

Result Code: VBOX_E_XML_ERROR (0x80BB000A)

Could not load the settings file 'c:\documents.... etc VirtualBox.xml

Element '{http://innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings}SystemProperties', attribute 'defaultHardDiskFolder':[facet 'pattern'] The value "is not accepted by the pattern'.+'.

Element '{http://innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings}SystemProperties', attribute 'defaultHardDiskFolder':"is not a valid value of atomic type '{http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings}TLocalFile'.

Welcome to our forum. You might want to read the Forum Posting Guide. This contaiin useful tips on how to search for VBox knowledge and how to frame Qs.

In this case I googled the value is not accepted by the pattern site:forums.virtualbox.org and got lots of posts discussing your issue, one even with exactly the same title. If you don't mind, read that and post there.

I am locking this post, as we try to keep the same discussions together.
