VboxManage guestcontrol issue

[cmccarron]

Prior to upgrading to VB 7.0, I could use vboxmanage guestcontrol to run a batch script on a windows 10 virtual machine and that script had access to the virtual machines shared folders/drives. I have been using this script for many years and many versions of VirtualBox. Now when the script runs it is reporting the H drive is not found. Everything in the VM_Setup.bat script works except for access to the H drive. The virtual machine has access to the H drive just not the guestcontrol feature.

Share folder section for the virtual machine is below. All of these drives work inside the virtual machine. <SharedFolders> <SharedFolder name="Projects" hostPath="F:\" writable="true" autoMount="false"/> <SharedFolder name="Downloads" hostPath="H:\Library\Downloads" writable="true" autoMount="false"/> <SharedFolder name="Shared" hostPath="H:\" writable="true" autoMount="false"/> <SharedFolder name="ElecWorkFile" hostPath="Z:\" writable="true" autoMount="false"/> </SharedFolders>

vboxmanage guestcontrol %VMN% run --quiet --unquoted-args --username "%VMU%" --password "" --exe "H:\Scripts\VM_Setup.bat" -- H:\Scripts\VM_Setup.bat %VM%
