Component: other Version: VirtualBox-7.0.4
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Windows

Description

If you create a VM using unattended installation, then you RMB on the VM in the hypervisor -> Remove -> Delete All, the unattended files remain. then if you try to create a new VM using the same VM name, you get an error because of the left over files.

I am having the same problem with Linux Host and Guests. The leftover files are named: Unattended-df7776e3-731a-43e7-8b26-7df309cb8f8c-aux-iso.viso Unattended-df7776e3-731a-43e7-8b26-7df309cb8f8c-preseed.cfg Unattended-df7776e3-731a-43e7-8b26-7df309cb8f8c-grub.cfg Unattended-df7776e3-731a-43e7-8b26-7df309cb8f8c-vboxpostinstall.sh They are located in the VirtualBox VMs directory in a subdir named for the machine. In order to restore the ability to run Unattended install again for this machine, I delete the leftover directory.

Hi guys,

We just released VirtualBox 7.0.22 and 7.1.4. The issue should be fixed in this release. You can give it a try on Downloads page.
