Hi,

We want to suppress all log file !!

We have try to put in the environment :
set VBOX_LOG_DEST=nofile

but log file continue to be created under .\VirtualBox\Machines\MName\Logs

Try also to set VBOX_LOG=-all before setting VBOX_LOG_DEST as seen in some post about linux env
but it doesn't works !

Thanks for helping us.

Regards

I saw a line in the VirtualBox.xml file that notes how many log files are created for the VMs. Maybe setting that to 0 will disable all logging. Make sure VB isn't running when you edit the file. It's in %userprofile%\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml.

It doesn't work setting this value to 0

IMHO this parameter is related to log rotate !

Thank you for your answer anyway.
