Attempting to start up Docker Toolbox 1.12.0 on Windows 10 and getting the following error

Running pre-create checks...
Creating machine...
(default) Copying C:\Users\abc\.docker\machine\cache\boot2docker.iso to C:\Users\abc\.docker\machine\machines\default\boot2docker.iso...
(default) Creating VirtualBox VM...

Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe createvm --basefolder C:\Users\abc\.docker\machine\machines\default --name default --register failed:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code REGDB_E_IIDNOTREG (0x80040155) - Interface not registered (extended info not available)

Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´... Press any key to continue...

Has anyone encountered this error before?

Re-installing VirtualBox and then restarting my machine fixed the problem. Hopefully this fixes yours too.

You can solve this problem by reinstalling VirtualBox, and choosing repair mode.

C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\installers\virtualbox -> virtualbox.exe.

After finishing the process, restart you machine and smile!
