I’m running Vagrant (1.8.1) + VirtualBox (5.0.12) on Windows 7 and trying to boot up a Windows 7 image (modernIE/w7-ie8). However, I get this error:

I ran the query command, but the service «is not found».

I tried rebooting, too. Nothing.

I am on windows 10 and following steps works for me:

Steps:

  1. Navigate to «C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrv»
  2. Right click on «VBoxDrv.inf» file and select Install option
  3. Open the Console as a administrator and run the following command

    sc start vboxdrv

There’s something wrong with the installation of VirtualBox (I’ve been seeing reports of this problem as far back as 4.x). The installer registers an incorrect location for the driver SYS file (the ImagePath in this example).

PS> Get-ItemProperty HKLM:systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv


Type         : 1
Start        : 3
ErrorControl : 1
ImagePath    : ??C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxVBoxDrv.sys
DisplayName  : VBox Support Driver
PSPath       : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreRegistry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreRegistry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsystemcurrentcontrolsetservices
PSChildName  : vboxdrv
PSDrive      : HKLM
PSProvider   : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreRegistry

The file doesn’t exist.

PS> Test-Path (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv).ImagePath
False

The actual location requires an extra driversvboxdrv.

PS> Test-Path 'C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrvVBoxDrv.sys'
True

You can update the registered location.

PS> Set-ItemProperty HKLM:systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv -Name ImagePath -Value '??C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrvVBoxDrv.sys'

And now you can start the driver/service.

> sc.exe start vboxdrv

I did what Anthony Mastrean suggested but I was still getting some errors:

C:Vagrant>sc query vboxdrv

SERVICE_NAME: vboxdrv
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 1  STOPPED

        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

C:Vagrant>sc start vboxdrv
[SC] StartService FAILED 123:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

This thread on superuser gave me the solution:

find C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrv VBoxDrv.inf
right click and select Install

As already pointed out, there seems to be a file-path issue after upgrades, especially when the VBox was open. The question’s keyword was not giving any working results for me here, as I could not even find the directory /xboxdrv/ and even the file VBoxDrv.inf so I changed to missing xboxdrv and I found quick windows_approach here https://stackoverflow.com/a/32077300/5922263. It simply says that head to the program list, right-click Oracle VM VirtualBox and click Repair and this time, ensure it is closed first:

ControlPanel > Programs > Programs and Features > Oracle VM VirtualBox

I hope this helps.

People. Unless you want this thread locked, there is a specific section of the forums that deals with that kind of issues: VirtualBox on Windows pre-releases ; vote there!

I think we’ve had enough of «me too» , when they’re actually not.

After all king of solutions from internet I resolve that problem by searching «VBoxDrv.inf» file in C:WindowsSystem32 folder, right click on it and click Install.

So easy !

@Gradzyna
Please read really carefully the following FAQ: Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues for some generic guidelines/ideas. Remember, these are guidelines, not the exact solution, you have to use your judgement as to which program might be responsible.

I would start with Avast.

Well, I can give you a few hints why this is so. First of all, I noticed that there was no driver install prompt.
(I might have authorized Oracle driver signatures, so that may be)
Then I remembered that, whoa!, my VBox is running. But it was too late — the install proceeded.
The good thing about it is that it did not interrupt my guest.
The bad thing about it is that it seemed not to have installed the driver.

I was suspecting from beginning that the installation was somehow botched, because there was
a prompt for restarting the computer.

That’s the first time VB asked for a restart after install.
It was suspicious by itself, and this my two cents on why @kpenrose ‘s solution works.

The installer would have detected a running VirtualBox and would have warned you, not sure why you saw what you saw.

Many thanks.. worked like a charm for the same problem on Windows 10, VirtualBox 6.1.2, trying to run a Kali image.

Found the answer elsewhere: however, I must note, that I ended up with another error not having multiple virtual screens or graphical options in configuration, reinstalling helped, but this error returned and the solution stopped to work, what effectively helped after was uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox — perhaps also due to error message

C: Program Files OracleVirtualBoxdrivers is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again

while the folder existed; I checked manually

Okay — got it working. Here’s what I did.

Went to the C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrv
directory, right clicked on VBoxDrv.inf and selected Install. I then
went back to my console and typed ‘sc start vboxdrv’ and got this:

SERVICE_NAME: vboxdrv
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER

        PID                : 0
        FLAGS              :

Went back to VirtualBox and was able to start the Ubuntu virtual
machine.

My similar error:

I ran the query command, but the service «is not found».

I tried rebooting, too. Nothing.

  2. Right click on «VBoxDrv.inf» file and select Install option
  3. Open the Console as a administrator and run the following command

    sc start vboxdrv

There’s something wrong with the installation of VirtualBox (I’ve been seeing reports of this problem as far back as 4.x). The installer registers an incorrect location for the driver SYS file (the ImagePath in this example).

PS> Get-ItemProperty HKLM:systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv


Type         : 1
Start        : 3
ErrorControl : 1
ImagePath    : ??C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxVBoxDrv.sys
DisplayName  : VBox Support Driver
PSPath       : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreRegistry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreRegistry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsystemcurrentcontrolsetservices
PSChildName  : vboxdrv
PSDrive      : HKLM
PSProvider   : Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreRegistry

The file doesn’t exist.

PS> Test-Path (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv).ImagePath
False

The actual location requires an extra driversvboxdrv.

PS> Test-Path 'C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrvVBoxDrv.sys'
True

You can update the registered location.

PS> Set-ItemProperty HKLM:systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesvboxdrv -Name ImagePath -Value '??C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrvVBoxDrv.sys'

And now you can start the driver/service.

> sc.exe start vboxdrv

I did what Anthony Mastrean suggested but I was still getting some errors:

C:Vagrant>sc query vboxdrv

SERVICE_NAME: vboxdrv
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 1  STOPPED

        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

C:Vagrant>sc start vboxdrv
[SC] StartService FAILED 123:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

This thread on superuser gave me the solution:

find C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversvboxdrv VBoxDrv.inf
right click and select Install

As already pointed out, there seems to be a file-path issue after upgrades, especially when the VBox was open. The question’s keyword was not giving any working results for me here, as I could not even find the directory /xboxdrv/ and even the file VBoxDrv.inf so I changed to missing xboxdrv and I found quick windows_approach here https://stackoverflow.com/a/32077300/5922263. It simply says that head to the program list, right-click Oracle VM VirtualBox and click Repair and this time, ensure it is closed first:

ControlPanel > Programs > Programs and Features > Oracle VM VirtualBox

I hope this helps.
