How can I solve VBoxManage.exe issue: Error: Auto-detect error: VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
I am getting the following error when I tried to run this below. I am trying to follow the instruction from http://www.randallkent.com/virtual-box/change-uuid-of-virtualbox-vdi .
I did the following.
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox> VBoxManage.exe internalcommands setvdiuuid "C:\Security"
And got this error below,
VBoxManage.exe error: Auto detect error: VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
How can I solve the above error?

You need to select the VirtualBox file .vdi
using the command sethduuid
.
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox> VBoxManage.exe internalcommands sethduuid "C:\Security\VirtualBox\my_vm\my_vm.vdi"
Also it should be sethduuid
not setvdiuuid
, but it may depend on your version of VirtualBox. I am using 4.3.10

Since I was trying to connect an existing VM, I got a problem with an error telling me it exists even when I first installed the file. Then I tried to find a solution from the internet, but it didn't work as it was my mistake: VBoxManage.exe: error: autodetect autodetect: VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Then I discovered where the VM is and deleted all existing files.
C:\Users\D409\.VirtualBox
Hope this helps other people.
