VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter (II)

This error has previously been reported in post: VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter and it keeps reoccurring for new versions of Windows/vagrant/OracleVB as described below. If anyone has identified a solution to this problem for the setup that is described below, please share here:

I installed Oracle VB and then Vagrant (both fresh installs) and then ran vagrant up as usuas in one of my workspaces. After vagrant had finished downloading the virtual box, it gave the following error output when attempting to start the VM:

C:\Users\AHL\workspace>vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'bento/ubuntu-14.04' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

Stderr: 0%...
Progress state: E_FAIL
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "enum RTEXITCODE __cdecl handleCreate(struct HandlerArg *)" at line 71 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp

C:\Users\AHL\workspace>

Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-14.04"
  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
end

On Windows 10

  • Navigate to Program Files > Oracle > VirtualBox > drivers > network > netadp6
  • Right click "VBoxNetAdp6.inf" and select "Install".

You may have to shut VirtualBox down before taking these steps and then re-run vagrant up, or possibly even vagrant destroy.

UPDATE 2020.10: STEPS BELOW DO NOT WORK ANYMORE.

If you installed VirtualBox without Network support or if you don't has Network support installed.

Try:

  1. open VirtualBox
  2. Menu File ---> Settings ---> Network
  3. On the right side, click button "add new network" Image
  4. Assume the default settings
  5. At Terminal type: vagrant up

For me, it worked. Good luck there!

Try to execute

C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\bin\vagrant.exe as administrator and then

vagrant up in command line.

It worked for me.

The solution to this problem appears to be the same as reported in the related post:

Although the VM in the Oracle VB GUI appears as not running, you must manually start it through Oracle VB GUI (this should work and allow you to login to the box) and then manually power it off again (also through Oracle VB GUI). Then, run vagrant up again and it should work.

If you're having issues with this setup then please add comments to this post.
