VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005) with copy file in VBox

[RolandHeijman]

Had VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR error using VirtualBox 6.0.4r128413 running on Win10. The VBox instance itself runs Win7. A file is copied internally in the VBox to another filename, just after it was copied from the host:

Execute command: "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" guestcontrol <vbox instance> run --putenv "USERNAME=user" --username user --password user --verbose --wait-stdout --wait-stderr --timeout 10000 cmd.exe – /C copy C:\TEMP\localFile1 C:\TEMP\localFile2 /Y
Creating guest session as user 'user'...
Waiting for guest session to start...
Closing guest session ...
VBoxManage.exe: error: Waiting for guest session "[28308] VBoxManage Guest Control [<vbox instance>] - run" failed: VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component GuestSessionWrap, interface IGuestSession, callee IUnknown

Process exited with return code: 1

Any help would be helpful. Is it already solved in a subsequent VirtualBox version?

May I ask, why when you've already found #18496 and commented on it, you elected to create a duplicate ticket?

The scenario and the hosts' OS differ. Is that not sufficient to create a new one?

No, not really. It's actually better if it's shown that the issue transgresses OSes and use cases. Instead of the developers looking at two distinct reports, it's better if they know that the issue is OS-agnostic. ;)
