It looks like the setuuid option might have been added in VirtualBox 4.1. I'll figure out what the 4.0.12 equivalent is and modify the command based on whichever version is installed. Thanks for the bug report!

Looks like the option was previously --uuid.

You know, the setuuid
bit is really only there to prevent an error if someone already has the MS VMs installed in Virtualbox. If you try to install multiple instances of the same VM image, Virtualbox will complain about duplicate UUIDs. So while I'm debating whether to remove the UUID handling altogether, you can simply comment out --setuuid ""
to avoid the error with no ill effect.

Same problem using Ubuntu 11.04

Hey Michel, thanks for reminding me about this bug. I tested the uuids
branch this weekend and it seemed to do the trick for versions of VirtualBox that don't include the --setuuid
option. Note that a bug may still exist related to extension packs under Ubuntu when using older versions of VirtualBox. Check the linux-extpacks
branch for a fix that I'll roll out soon.

Unfortunately, on Ubuntu 11.10 and VirtualBox 4.1.6, I still get this error:
Checking for existing IE7 VM VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named 'IE7' VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(VMNameOrUuid).raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 2333 of file VBoxManageInfo.cpp Creating IE7 VM VBoxManage: error: Machine settings file '/home/simon/VirtualBox VMs/IE7/IE7.vbox' already exists VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80bb0004), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports Context: "CreateMachine(bstrSettingsFile.raw(), name.raw(), osTypeId.raw(), Guid(id).toUtf16().raw(), FALSE , machine.asOutParam())" at line 249 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you in advance!

Yup, this bug is still there as of 11.10 and VBox 4.1.8
VBoxManage -v
4.1.8r75467
I tried starting the vm using name and then uuid, both failed.
sudo VBoxManage startvm winxp
VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named 'winxp'

winxp is in ~/VirtualBox VMs/
from ievms.
"winxp" wouldn't be the name of an ievms-created VM. Not sure what's going on there. However, I do need to spin up another bootable Ubuntu 11.10 partition to confirm that issue is still closed.
from ievms.
Found the answer on the vitrualbox.org forums
I had this problem too.
The answer might be the user you are running VBoxManage as.
If I run VBoxManage as root (or via sudo) it only knows about virtual machines registered as root.
You need to run it as the same user who created the virtual machines.
I was running with sudo because I thought i might be having usb problems due to permissions issues.
However, running as sudo means VBoxManage doesn't find vm's installed by me as a regular user.
I'd still say there's a bug there in the error message:
it should mention permissions and give a hint about vm's installed as root vs user when trying to launch with sudo.
