I used Virtual Box with no problems in the past. However, I reinstalled my OS and the VM was removed.
So, now I am trying to create a Windows 7 64-bit VM in Virtual Box. I have an Admin account and a personal account on my MBP. Virtual Box won't let me create a VM in my personal account while the Admin account will.
I get the error message:
Cannot create the machine folder Windows 7 64 bit in the parent folder /Users/PersonalAccount/VirtualBox VMs.
Please check that the parent really exists and that you have permissions to create the machine folder.
I was able to get Windows 7 up and running on the Admin account, but it was not shared with my personal account (plus there were a bunch of .DLL files missing from a program that I installed).
I find the problem very strange and don't know the best course of action.
Mac OS: 10.7.3
Virtual Box: 4.1.8
