I copy an empty VDI to a filename of the VM. I attach the VDI with VBoxManage storageattach ""%variable%"" --storagectl ""IDE Controller"" --port 1 --device 0 --type hdd --medium ""%variable.vdi"" --setuuid %variable This works the first time. I delete the VM and repeat the process above, but when attaching the VDI file I get VBoxManage.exe: error: Storage for the medium 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\data\.VirtualBox\HardDisks\secondtimefails.vdi' is not created VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component Medium, interface IMedium, callee IUnknown Context: ""SetIDs(fSetNewUuid, bstrNewUuid.raw(), fSetNewParentUuid, bstrNewParentUuid.raw())"" at line 637 of file VBoxManageStorageControlle r.cpp VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to set the medium/parent medium UUID If delete the VM, and try it again, the same result. But here's the thing: When I exit VirtualBox (all of its processes) and launch it again, everything works like on the first time, and the problem repeats on the second. Any name I try reusing fails until restart of VirtualBox. (%variable is not a real variable, it's a placeholder) This worked in 3.x. (And I'm probably going to have to go back to it and try 4 later; you've broken quite a few things between 3 and 4.)" defect closed VMM VirtualBox 4.1.2 obsolete VBoxManage, storageattach, vdi Windows Windows
