11072,Snapshot of running Guest,avinotec,,"Hi,
taking a snapshot of a running machine fails.

Taking a snapshot
Guest is running:

		C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage snapshot WindowsXP take mySnapshot
		0%...
		Progress state: E_FAIL
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to take snapshot
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Code E_FAIL (0x80004005) - Unspecified error (extended info not available)
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: ""int __cdecl handleSnapshot(struct HandlerArg *)"" at line 354 of file VBoxManageSnapshot
		.cpp
		
		C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>


guest is off:

		C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage snapshot WindowsXP take mySnapshot
		0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
		
		C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

Deleting snapshot:
guest is running or guest is off:

		C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage snapshot WindowsXP delete mySnapshot
		0%...
		Progress state: E_FAIL
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Snapshot operation failed
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Hard disk 'D:\VirtualBox\WindowsXP\Snapshots/{7d0c09c7-a249-4c8e-a7b7-42176220bb92}.vdi' has more
		 than one child hard disk (3)
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface IMachine
		VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: ""int __cdecl handleSnapshot(struct HandlerArg *)"" at line 421 of file VBoxManageSnapshot
		.cpp
		
And then the snapshot is not deleteable.

I hope, all drivers etc. are up to date with version 4.2.0.
