Description
Hi guys,
There's an anoying bug on Windows 10.
When creating host-only interfaces, sometimes, a popup appears saying:
Cannot rename this connection. A connection with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different name.
This blocks the interface creation.
When clicking the "OK" button, VBoxManage resume the operation and create an interface with a name like 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #X' Eventualy, VBoxManage command ends, saying:
Interface 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter' was successfully created
Notice that it is not the actual name of the interface.
To reproduce the issue, just run VBoxManage.exe hostonlyif create a couple of times.
Tested on Windows 10, with VBox 5.0.4 and latest test build (5.0.5)
