Host OS Win7, guest OS win7 --> The guest operating system of the machine could not be detected!

[ruping hua]

host: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)

guest: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)

 

vagrant: 1.7.4

Oracle VirtualBox: 5.0.10 r104061

guest additions 5.0.10

 

I get an error on vagrant up.

The guest operating system of the machine could not be detected!

Vagrant requires this knowledge to perform specific tasks such

as mounting shared folders and configuring networks. Please add

the ability to detect this guest operating system to Vagrant

by creating a plugin or reporting a bug.

 

My vagrantfile:

  # The most common configuration options are documented and commented below.

  # For a complete reference, please see the online documentation at

  # Every Vagrant development environment requires a box. You can search for

  # boxes at https://atlas.hashicorp.com/search.

  config.vm.box = "ferventcoder/win7pro-x64-nocm-lite"

  # Disable automatic box update checking. If you disable this, then

  # boxes will only be checked for updates when the user runs

  # `vagrant box outdated`. This is not recommended.

  # config.vm.box_check_update = false

  # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port

  # within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below,

  # accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine.

  # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

  # Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine

  # using a specific IP.

  # config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

  # Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.

  # Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on

  # your network.

  # config.vm.network "public_network"

  # Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is

  #   vb.gui = true

  #

  #   # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:

  #   vb.memory = "1024"

  # end

  #

  # View the documentation for the provider you are using for more

  # information on available options.

  # Define a Vagrant Push strategy for pushing to Atlas. Other push strategies

  # such as FTP and Heroku are also available. See the documentation at

 Can anyone help me, thanks a lot

Try setting this to windows for your VM.
config.vm.guest - The guest OS that will be running within this machine. This defaults to :linux, and Vagrant will auto-detect the proper distro. Vagrant needs to know this information to perform some guest OS-specific things such as mounting folders and configuring networks.

I'd wager the 'lite' removed a fingerprint vagrant tries to use to determine the OS.
