12509,VirtualBox COM server bug,JustTryingToHelp,,"Hi.
I'm trying to report a VirtualBox COM server bug which affects VBoxManage.exe and VirtualBox.exe.
It appeared in VirtualBox 4.2.20.

Host OS: Windows XP SP3 x86, Windows 7 SP1 x64
VB Version: 4.3.6

How it affects VBoxManage.exe:

I close any VirtualBox.exe and VBoxSVC.exe processes.
I issue a VBoxManage command (started as normal user or as an administrator, it doesn't matter, no change), I wait an amount of time between 6 sec and the moment VBoxSVC process closes and I issue another VBoxManage command.
This time it doesn't do anything for 30 sec and shows this message:

VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) - Server execution failed (extended info not available)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.
Press any key to close this window...

How it affects VirtualBox.exe:

I close any VirtualBox.exe and VBoxSVC.exe processes.
I start a VB VM directly. If I close it and in that time interval I start the VB Manager, it fails to start and I get the same error.
Or if I start the VB Manager, close it and start a VM...

Could not attach a VBox.log file because it is not generated. But I will post a VBoxSVC.log file instead...",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 4.3.6,fixed,,,other,Windows
