Failed to start virtual machine

Post by larky »

Backed up my 2 virtual machines (file, export appliance) and now I can't get them back. I tried to relese the HD and create a new machine with the old HD, with same error.
Removed the .Virtualbox.xml file, new machine, imported HD, same error.

Help?

Well, the log says that it's missing a file. Repair the installation of VB, maybe it's missing a system file or something and is the installation broken.
