Multiple Errors concerning VRDPAuth location

The Virtualbox File Preferences General VRDP Authentication Library does not appear to be being found properly.

Whenever attempting to create a new VM, at Finish, I get an error message telling me that it cannot replace Virtualbox.xml with Virtualbox.xml-tmp. Permissions on both files are full access. If I try to hit finish again it gives a different error with chinese characters that I cannot read. It appears to have created the machine directory in .Virtualbox/Machines, but has not created the .vdi in .Virtualbox/Harddrives.

I appear to be able to get around this behavior by creating a new hard disk image before creating the new machine. I still get the error but if I exit out of virtualbox entirely I can then rename Virtualbox.xml-tmp to Virtualbox.xml manually. When I start up virtualbox again the machine has now appeared in the list.

I can run the new machine but must manually add the new hard disk image and an iso to do first boot from, the auto first run seems disabled.

spchtr, welcome @ Win-Lite.de !

There seems to be a problem with this "virtualbox.xml-tmp", it is also described in this thread: ERROR "Could not find a hard disk with UUID" after taking snapshot and re-open Portable-VirtualBox.

I think perhaps it's looking for it to be in the normally installed path. If I knew what the normally stored path was I would try recreating those folders, and placing the Virtualbox.xml file there to see if it replaces that one, if it does they're using absolute paths in their replace with temp file function.
