[SailfishDevel] Running program in SDK Fails to launch at first try in windows

[Aurindam Jana]

Hi Mikko,
 
In System registry, can you check the value of VirtualBox field under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Oracle.
 
Also do you have any environment variable set for VBOX_INSTALL_PATH?
 
The problem is simply that QtC could not detect the path of the Virtual Box installation and hence couldn't check for the Virtual Machines. This is a problem on WIndows as there are no standard paths for installation and we pretty much have to make an educated guess.

Hi,
lbta sked me in IRC to report this so here we go:

I installed fresh copy of Virtualbox and SailfishSDK in Windows 8

Everything went fine until I tested to run first "HelloSailors" app.
 Error printed in compiler output was:


SOFT ASSERT: "!path.isEmpty()" in file ..\..\..\..\src\libs\virtualbox\vboxmanager.cpp, line 39
'MerSDK' is not running: File not found
And when it asked to start MerSDK it didn't start.

Then I tried manually start it in virtualbox but it didn't detect that either.

I got it finally working when I let virtual machine to run while I restarted QtCreator and tried again to run. Still it didn't detect that emulator is running(it was) until I pressed stat emulator button in left toolbar.

best regards,
