VBoxManage is crashing when setting a guestproperty

Hi

I am running VBox 4.3.6 on Windows 7 64-bit Prof with a Centos 5.10 64-bit guest.

I want to set a guest property so I tried to execute this command from the Windows command line:

C:\>\"Program Files"\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage guestproperty set RSD_Centos_5_10_x86_64_A "VBoxHeadlessTray\ContextMenus\browse\menutext" "Open SSH connection"

But I then get error:

"VBoxManage.exe has stopped working"

My VM is there:

C:\>"\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" list vms
"RSD_Centos_5_10_x86_64_A" {19ae096a-f3be-4cdc-95df-06b60463096c}

Please can someone explain the crash?

Best regards

David

These are user forums. You should report something like that on BugTracker.

Ok, but I thought I might be doing something wrong that caused the problem.

Best regards

Works ok provided I execute it from the VirtualBox directory (i.e. not the root \ ):

C:\>cd "\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"\

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage guestproperty set RSD_Centos_5_10_x86_64_A "VBoxHeadlessTray\ContextMenus\browse\menutext" "Open SSH connection"

Then it is probably a Windows thing, not VirtualBox.
