vagrant up vboxmanage verr_path_not_found when default vb machine folder on f:

I stumbled upon the same issue. Strange that it hasn't been fixed in these two years.

Essentially, the fix is to apply the patch mention here: https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/8275#issuecomment-291031171

The problem - the patch refers to a code fragment in version_5_1.rb file but that code has been moved to version_5_0.rb. This means, you cannot apply the patch as is. In the future, it might change even more, and thus my instructions may become obsolete...

I was too lazy to edit the patch and learn how to apply it properly, so I ended up applying the changes one by one to the relevant files, as described in the patch. On Windows, I had to also change file permissions to give Modify permissions to computer users.

So, the steps are as follows:

1. open the path where Vagrant Ruby files were installed. For example, C:\Program Files\Vagrant\embedded\gems\2.1.2\gems\vagrant-2.1.2\plugins\providers\virtualbox

2. open subfolder action and in give Modify permissions to Users group on files import.rb and set_name.rb (permissions can be edited as usual through context menu, in Properties, tab Security, button Edit.., select Users and check the checkbox under Allow for Modify option)

3. open file import.rb and replace line

   id = env[:machine].provider.driver.import(ovf_file) do |progress|
   

   with

   id = env[:machine].provider.driver.import(ovf_file,env) do |progress|
   

   There should be just one line to replace.

4. open file set_name.rb and find def call(env) and add the following lines right under it:

         return @app.call(env)
   

5. open subfolder driver and in give Modify permissions to Users group on file version_5_0.rb

6. open file version_5_0.rb and replace line

   def import(ovf)
   

   with

   def import(ovf,env)
   

7. in the same file version_5_0.rb replace line

   specified_name = "#{suggested_name}_#{(Time.now.to_f * 1000.0).to_i}_#{rand(100000)}"
   

   with the following fragment

     name = env[:machine].provider_config.name
     # If no name was manually set, then use a default
     if !name
       prefix = "#{env[:root_path].basename.to_s}_#{env[:machine].name}"
       prefix.gsub!(/[^-a-z0-9_]/i, "")
   
       # milliseconds + random number suffix to allow for simultaneous
       # `vagrant up` of the same box in different dirs
       name = prefix + "_#{(Time.now.to_f * 1000.0).to_i}_#{rand(100000)}"
     end
   
     specified_name = "#{name}_#{(Time.now.to_f * 1000.0).to_i}_#{rand(100000)}"
   

8. find and delete the broken virtual machine and all of its files on the other disk, and also from .vagrant\machines folder where you launched vagrant up command. Then run vagrant up again.

Now the virtual machine should be created with a proper name and should work normally.
