[SOLVED] No virtual machine with the name "MerSDK" found. Check your installation
asked 2015-07-20 23:14:05 +0200
So, I've followed the instructions and installed Virtualbox 5 and SailfishOS SDK to create my very first app according to the SailfishOS.org section "Your first app".
But when I try to fire up the virtual machine "MerSDK" or the emulator "SailfishOS Emulator" I get the error message in the header.
I just don't get it. I've googled this and, for sure, people have ran into this and other problems, but I don't see any good solutions to the problem.
I've reinstalled VB5 and the SDK without any improvements. Also, I've been looking for some BIOS-setting called VT-x, which in my case is set to "Supported".
If I run Virtualbox only, I see the two virtual machines in question, but even though the IDE is not started, the virtual machines are inaccessible with the following error message:
Error in C:\SailfishOS\mersdk\MerSDK\MerSDK.vbox -- Required AttachedDevice/Image element is missing.
F:\tinderbox\win-rel\src\VBox\Main\src-server\MachineImpl.cpp[736] (long __cdecl Machine::i_registeredInit(void)). Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: MachineWrap Interface: IMachine {f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}
To wrap it up, I'm totally lost. What am I doing wrong? Any advice or suggestion is welcome.
Thank you for your time!
I've been looking around at other questions and if this isn't the right forum for my question, just let me know.
