virtualbox.org

The following command hangs when I try it in VirtualBox 4.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with a Windows 7 32-bit guest (with VBox Additions 4.3.2 installed on it):

% VBoxManage guestcontrol "My VM" createdirectory C:\\some\\path --username aUser --password aPass --verbose
Opening guest session as user 'aUser' ...
Waiting for guest session to start ...
Guest session (ID 2) has been started
Creating 1 directories ...
Creating directory "C:\some\path" ...

Similarly, the XPCOM API call IGuestSession.directoryCreate() seems to hang. The VirtualBox log doesn't have any entries for this time period.

It works just fine in VirtualBox 4.2.18 (with 4.2.18 Additions installed on the guest).

I also quickly tried it on 4.3.0 on a CentOS 6.4 host (both CentOS and Windows 7 guests) -- still hangs.

Did directoryCreate() and directoryCreateTemp() break in 4.3.0?

Thanks!

This kind of reproducible issues should go to the Bugtracker. Make sure to read the introduction page and include the VM log at least. Also, please give a scenario on how to reproduce this.
