Vagrant: Vagrant up finishes but VM's not showing up in VirtualBox

[gpspake]

Originally posted as a PuPHPet issue here

I'm using Windows 8. I've noticed some odd behavior with Vagrant so I decided to tear everything down and start over. I uninstalled re-installed VirtualBox(4.3.14) and Vagrant(1.63) I also deleted all files associated with them so I'm starting from scratch.

I created a new vagrant box using PuPHPet and ran vagrant up from the Windows CMD as administrator. That works.. sort of. I can go to the box in a browser and drop in an index file to make sure php/apache etc.. are working. So.. clearly my VM is being created.

The problem is, the box never shows up in virtualbox.
If I try to run vagrant ssh I get the error VM must be created before running this command. Run vagrant up first

If I try to run vagrant halt It tells me default: VM not created. Moving on...

any thoughts on how I might fix this weird issue short of re-formatting my machine? I'm still learning the guts of Vagrant so it may be that I'm just not looking in the right place. Let me know if I need to provide more info.

2 potential issues for you here

A. You are using 2 users, so each home will be different
B. In some bash/shell the home is different from what Windows use and what
the shell sets

Please close this issue, and send a email to the mailing list, and I will
help you over there.

provide the following info

as Administrator and your local user do:
echo %USERPROFILE%

then, inside the bash you use, again as Administrator and local user do:

echo $HOME
