(Example: C:\Programma's\VirtualBox). Instead, another instance of the VirtualBox GUI is started. After closing this new GUI instance, the original GUI instance gives an error message (Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)). The machine's .xml and .vdi do NOT have to reside in the path containing an apostrophe; the issue lies with VirtualBox itself being inside such a folder." defect closed other VirtualBox 3.2.8 obsolete path quote apostrophe other Windows
