Vagrant version

Vagrant version : 1.8.5

Host operating system

When I run vagrant init cmd I get this error :

Any idea what should I do to solve this ?

I'm under the impression that non-ASCII characters in your path could be causing an issue under Ruby 2.2.0 that is used by Vagrant.

My suggestion as a fellow end user is to try to run vagrant init in a different directory outside our home folder (preferably one without non-ASCII characters).

Hi there,

This is a known issue and unfortunately there is nothing we can do. You have a special character (non-ascii) in your path such as an accent character or unicode symbol. This causes Ruby, the underlying programming language, to freak out. Sorry!

Add VAGRANT_HOME

I manage to make it work with Vagrant 1.7.4 and Virtualbox 5.0.26.
I wasn't running any vagrant cmd in my home directory, actualy I'm running it in D:\vm

Anyway it work with an older vagrant version :/
