Hello folks, I'm new to Cygwin, new to this newsgroup too. ;)
I'm running Cygwin and using the zsh shell. In the .zshrc file I got these lines: alias vboxmanage=VBoxManage vboxmanage setproperty machinefolder "C:\Users\$USER\VirtualBox VMs\" When I try to boot a VM using vagrant (which uses vboxmanage internally I think) sometimes $USER is not resolved to the real username. Instead vboxmanage creates a new machinefolder on C:/ which is then called "Users$USER" and inside this folder there is the folder "VirtualBox VMs", so the wrong path is "C:\Users$USER\VirtualBox VMs\". How could that be? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Do I need to escape the backslashes or is there anything else I need to take care of? I'm wondering why it only fails sometimes. Thanks a lot, Thomas -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
