registerimage 1.0 released!

Posted by fripp on April 21, 2008

I wrote a little command line program that automatically registers a new VM image within VirtualBox®.
You can download the sources here

Don’t download this version. Please, download the latest software version here

.
The program requires libxml2.

If you are using a UNIX-like OS you can compile the program using the makefile included with sources.

To register a new image, run registerimage with three arguments:

  1. The path to the .xml configuration file of the VM you want to add;
  2. The path to your VirtualBox.xml;
  3. One of “windows” “linux” or “macosx” that best matches the operating system VirtualBox® is running on.

For example:

valinor:registerimage feanor$ ./registerimage ../Machines/MINIX\ 3.1.2/MINIX\ 3.1.2.xml ../../Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml macosx

After that, move virtual_machine_name.xml and virtual_machine_name.vdi to their directories, as explained here.

Should you get into any trouble, please report it to us. Thanks.
