I am getting the following error:

Possible reason: "MediaRegistry" section not found in the vbox file.

I am using VMUB 1.7x64 and VirtualBox 5.2.8

Thanks!

Hi.

Thank you for reporting the error.

Can you please upload the vbox file (zipped if possible) here or on a share site and post the link?

How to find the file: open a file manager (like Explorer) and go to drive C >> Users >> [Your_User_Name] >> VirtualBox VMs >> {Name _of_the_VM]. Inside there is a file with the same VM name, a blue icon and "VirtualBox Machine Definition" as Type. If your OS is configured to see the file extension, it will appear as ".vbox".

Thank you.

"MediaRegistry" is a vbox file section where informations are stored about the current drives (HDD/DVD) attached to the virtual machine. Looks like they changed it a bit: if there are no drives the entire section is deleted (or not created in the first place).

I changed the way VMUB searches/uses this section too. I had no problem(s) in tests but please test too to be sure.
