When trying to create a host-only adapter using the Host Network Manager GUI, I got the dreaded "Failed to create the host-only adapter" error message, with a detail of: "Querying NetCfgInstanceId failed (0x00000002)".īecause I use Hyper-V, I had a number of Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapters in addition to the actual physical adapter. VirtualBox did not (or failed to) create a host-only adapter on installation.VirtualBox 5.2.4-119785 (Windows only supports a single hypervisor - I can recommend this approach if you need to switch between Hyper-V and VirtualBox).I use Hyper-V to run virtual machines whenever possible, but had a need to run an old VirtualBox VM with Windows XP as the guest OS.This answer is not specifically related to Docker, but seeing as this is one of the more recent top Stack Overflow search results (together with this question) on Google when searching for the "Failed to create the host-only adapter" error message from VirtualBox, I'm leaving this here in the hope that it will help someone else.Īs a side note, if you can, I recommend you use Docker For Windows instead of Docker Toolbox to run Docker on Windows (requires Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise 64-bit). Looks like something went wrong in step ´Checking if machine default exists´. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is is supposed to fix this issue Let's try to recover anyway.Įrror creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible.

Uninstalled and reinstalled various versions of VirtualBox Uninstalled and reinstalled Docker toolbox I've recently run into this problem after having used docker toolbox without a problem for a while.
