Can't install Selenium with post-boot-machine.sh using VirtualBox 5.x

[MPV]

Hi, For starters, I must say that this looks like an amazing project. Really like the initiative and I think this could be quite valuable.

I ran into this problem below when trying to set up Selenium in my VM.

Any ideas?

$ ./post-boot-machine.sh $(cat .vagrant/machines/IE11_Win81/virtualbox/id)

Have you tried with virtual box 4.x?

[MPV]

No, I've only tried it with VirtualBox 5 (5.0.14 to be precise).

[kaililleby]

Virtual boxs command line changed between 4 and 5..

[double16]

I will try to look at it in the new couple of days, unless someone submits a PR before then.

[double16]

It appears there are problems with VBoxManage 5. https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14336 might be one of them. copyto is having issues.

[rishi-khanna]

Is this fixed? I am still facing this issue with VirtualBox v5.1.18 r114002 (Qt5.6.2) .

[double16]

Sadly not yet. There is a branch in which I'm trying to get it working with 5.1. I'm also trying to get the script to download all of the dependencies for you.
