VBoxManage fails on Windows if VirtualBox GUI has not been started

Description
Win 8.1 x64 VirtualBox 4.3.6
How to reproduce:
- boot windows
- execute vboxmanage
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object! VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) - Server execution failed (extended info not available) VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.
Starting the GUI fixes the issue.
Executing the exact same command then works perfectly.

No response, closing. Your problem might be related to #12509 so you might want to give the test build posted there a shot.
