Error downloading base image with vagrant up

[Jonathan Gossage]

I am using a brand new installation of Vagrant 2.0.2 running on Windows 10 Professional with VirtualBox 5.2.8. I ran the command

vagrant init precise64

without apparent problems and then tried to run

 

vagrant up

but got the following results:

PS D:\GitRepositories\WiseOldBird\Admin\VagrantLearn> vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'precise64' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...
    default: Box Provider: virtualbox
    default: Box Version: >= 0
==> default: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==> default: Adding box 'precise64' (v0) for provider: virtualbox
    default: Downloading: precise64
    default:
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.


Couldn't open file /D:/GitRepositories/WiseOldBird/Admin/VagrantLearn/precise64

I tried this both as a normal user and an administrator without success. i am able to create files and directories in this directory without problems using File Explorer or the command line. How can I troubleshoot this problem?

I tried using both Powershell 6.0.1 and the standard windows command line without success.  How can I troubleshoot this problem?

hello

if you use user/box vagrant will try to check on vagrant cloud

if you user just box then you need either have the box locally added or add a setting to tell vagrant were to find the box.

I will suggest check a box from here:
