runtime error while opening vm.vbox

Post by kushamoto »

I just installed VB 4.3.0 on host OSX 10.7.5 and before I create any new machines I get this error:

Runtime error opening '/Users/kushamoto/Library/Application Support/Arc/apps/peggo.co/Peggo/{f4fe25a4-e6d7-42c7-9caf-433d6eaebcfd}/vm/vm.vbox' for reading: -102(File not found.).

/Users/vbox/tinderbox/4.3-mac-rel/src/VBox/Main/src-server/MachineImpl.cpp[727] (nsresult Machine::registeredInit()).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Machine
Interface:
IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048}


Any ideas on getting past this?

In the list to the left there's an item called 'vm' that is labelled 'Inaccessible' and I get this error if I highlight it.

It appears that /Users/kushamoto/Library/Application Support/Arc/apps/peggo.co is non-existent

That is not a standard VirtualBox path, so I assume that is something created by you or a tool you use, or installed by some other app.

Could you please check your ~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml (MachineRegistry section)? What paths are there?

Also faced similar issue when migrated to Mavericks host. OS X installer just copied my previous VBox stuff to a new location and does not cared about paths inside ~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml (which is normal and expected behavior).
