You have to administrator. We will address this in a future release.

Actually I didn't read your error message correctly. It seems to be an issue with the configuration files. They appear to be gone or inaccessible.

I just encountered the exact same error in the exact same circumstances (except I run W2K). After creating an adapter things went boom :(

A problem like this here to, just downloaded VB and installed Win2k3 and tried to add a host interface with which I removed and added again.

Now I can't change anything, not in the Win2k3 install, but the other VM's are inaccesable as well (exact same error).

There was some bad heap corruption (windows host only) in the host interface remove case. Possibly with creation as well. This may have resulted in corrupted xml files. Fixed now.

[sPENKMAN]

Good to hear this problem has been solved, I presume this is fixed in version 1.3.8?

[Frank Mehnert]

No, 1.3.8 still does not contain the fix. Please wait patient for the next release (most probably 1.4).
