I'm running v 4.2.6. Starting this morning, I can't import some VMs, and some of my existing VMs are showing up as inaccessible and have the following error showing in the UI,
The same error too when i took the vm to another PC and try to open it with virtual box (v 5.0.10):
Cannot register the DVD image
'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' {f5022f2e-0adc-4767-879d-65058a5578c5} because a CD/DVD image
'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' with UUID {fc087cbc-df04-47b4-b42f-25f614463f78} already exists. Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057) Component: VirtualBox Interface: IVirtualBox {3b2f08eb-b810-4715-bee0-bb06b9880ad2}
One of the common reasons that fail VM import is file corruption. This is a common error when the file is downloaded from the internet. This happens because of network issues during the download or the file is not downloaded completely. To resolve the error we re-download the file and try to import the file.
The default VirtualBox virtual machine path is C:\Users\your user name\VirtualBox VMs. Open the folder, right-click on the VM you want to export, and choose Copy. Then, navigate to the removable drive (or different directory), right-click, and select Paste.
I solved it by open the file win 7 64.vbox
with text editor and remove the tag:
<DVDImages> <Image uuid="{fd686a98-c1a6-42d9-82aa-67728b524d53}" location="C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"/> </DVDImages>
Know that by removing the tag it will be added as empty tag. and reopent the vm of virtual box again. and it worked
