vagrant-projects: BoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter (FPP)

Description Hi, I am having a problem with the step that creates the HostOnly adapter . The vagrant up hangs then throws the below error . I am almost certain that it’s linked to both virtualBox and windows 10 as I saw a lot of threads on StackoverFlow describing the same network error. but I hoped someone had already gone through this and found a fix.

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

Stderr: 0%...
Progress state: E_FAIL
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "enum RTEXITCODE __cdecl handleCreate(struct HandlerArg *)" at line 95 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp

Environment (please complete the following information):

**- Host OS:**Windows 10 Home - Vagrant version: Vagrant 2.2.7 - Vagrant provider: VirtualBox: - VirtualBox version: 6.1.8r137981

Fixed by downgrading to 6.1.28

Hi @brokedba thank you for your feedback. FPP is not only an upgrade utility is doing much more. Sure the upgrade capability is one of the most important but as 11g, 12c shiphome are not in the “zip format” ive decided to skip them and show some other capabilities such a gold image import, workingcopy creation, db creation… Having the vagrant env you are free to do practice with the upgrade too focusing on the FPP commands only. The VagrantFPP idea is to provide a simple env (in short time) where play with FPP.

Potential enhancements are up to the code owner. @rcitton, could you please take a look at @brokedba’s suggestion above for the OracleFPP project?
