Hi,
I’m facing a small issue while trying to install Demo virtual machine on 64 bit Windows 10 OS. I followed the instructions provided on Installing Virtual Machine. The output of vagrant up, is giving the following error

**Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...**
**==> default: Box 'precise/precise-vm' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...**
** default: Box Provider: virtualbox**
** default: Box Version: >= 0**
**The box 'precise/precise-vm' could not be found or**
**could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private**
**box on HashiCorp's Vagrant Cloud, please verify you're logged in via**
**`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded**
**URL and error message are shown below:**

**URL: ["https://vagrantcloud.com/precise/precise-vm"]**
**Error: The requested URL returned error: 404**

I also tried initializing the updated specific version (v202202.0.0) using vagrant init precise/precise-vm --box-version 202202.0.0, however the error still persists. Can you suggest which minor detail is being overlooked from my side.

Common spelling mistake. It’s
precice/precice-vm

standing for precise Code Interaction Coupling Environment

Thank you !!! That’s very naïve one but I’ll still keep the post for the noobs like me who are trying to install it in hurry :sweat_smile:

Of course, very common problem :+1: Is your issue solved?

Hello, I am facing some issues while installing demo VM on 64 bit Windows 11 OS. I installed oracle virtual box and vagrant successfully. However, when I use ‘vagrant up’, after 30% there is an error while executing VboxManage. CLI used by Vagrant. I am attaching the image for reference, could you please suggest the solution.

@kandekac Does VirtualBox generally work on your system? You could try this out by just installing a normal Ubuntu or similar. Sometimes you have to apply special BIOS settings for VirtualBox to work properly. See, for example virtualbox - Virtualization BIOS setting Windows 10 - Super User. But be careful: You can also seriously break things in your BIOS.

@kandekac This is unfortunate, especially as we have no experience with Windows 11 at all. So, this will be difficult for us to debug.

As a first step, I would suggest to create some VM and simply see if you can start it. It won’t do anything, but it will be a good first test.

I get such errors when I am running out of storage. Are you sure that you have enough free space (and memory)?

I checked, there was no storage problem.

But I tried on another system with Windows 10. It worked!

Thank you!
