Error on vagrant up: Memory could not be written

Leave a Comment

I receive the following error when trying to execute the command "vagrant up":

--------------------------- VBoxHeadless.exe - Application Error --------------------------- The instruction at 0x00007FFDEFEACD38 referenced memory at 0x0000000000003CB0. The memory could not be read.   Click on OK to terminate the program --------------------------- OK    --------------------------- 

Here is the console output log:

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

Please let me know if there is any further information I should provide. I am running the 64 bit version of vagrant and virtual box on Windows 10.

I have the same issue, and hopefully there will be a bug-fix for it soon.

In the meantime, I have managed to start the install process by attaching the .iso image in the VirtualBox IDE Storage Settings page rather than the "mount" dialog that causes the error.

Open the settings for your VM in the VirtualBox UI, go to Storage, click on the "empty" entry in the list of IDE Controllers, and select the disk icon over to the right of the screen. Finally, select to "Choose Virtual Optical Disk File", and select your .iso of choice. Then start the VM and it should boot just fine.
