Vagrant Windows Box starts working forever after "vagrant"
I am on Mac OS X Mavericks trying to launch a Vagrant Windows 7 box ( http://aka.ms/vagrant-win7-ie11 ).
Also I installed vagrant-windows plugin and configured Vagrantfile with the following properties: PS: Don't consider the syntax below. This is just to represent what is configured in my file.
gui = true
memory = 2048
cpu = 2
So when I run the "vagrant" command, I get this output:
gyo-macbook:Win7 gyo$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'win7'...
it takes forever and i dont see any changes in the VM folder associated with VirtualBox.
Are there any steps I have forgotten?
Thank,
Ge

The tramp loads the box the first time you vagrant up
. Once loaded, it unpacks the window and imports it into VirtualBox. Windows boxes are quite large 5+ GB so expect the first vagrant to take some time.
If you open the VirtualBox GUI while the tramp is doing this, you will see when the window is added to VirtualBox. You can also see if the field is loaded in the small preview window in VirtualBox.
