Error: spawn "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\\VBoxManage.exe" ENOENT

Hi, been looking for a useful library, this seems to be the only one with the capability to check if a VM is running. Just need to figure out why this is happening and how I can pass through it. I'm available for testing via discord, csmit195#2008. Thanks :-)

Operating System: Windows 10

Description: Won't work with any of my VM's, state returns false for running and non running ones. and err is thrown.

Code:

const virtualbox = require('virtualbox');

const VMName = 'OpenFlixr';

virtualbox.isRunning(VMName, function(err, state){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(state);
});

Terminal Output:

Hi, I was able to reproduce on my system. The issue was with how we formed our path to virtualbox. I've got a PR up that should fix this. Stay tuned for v1.1.1 release to fix this.

I just released v1.1.1 to NPM. @csmit195 Would you try installing the new version and see if this is fixed?

@colonelpopcorn works perfectly :-) thank you.
