@Chez123321 how did you solve this? I'm having the same issue.

Can you try while you have at least one windows application open ? If the VM has just booted up and no application has opened, the user logon is not done so mapping cannot be done at that moment !

I have successfully connected to the VM and started cmd via cassowary -c guest-run -- cmd.exe. But the mapping still fails with another obscure error now:

The Shared linux root directory option under the Advanced config tab works fine though.
