Error when putting Virtualbox as a service

I created a windows service to configure my VM in mode Headless, with the command:

sc.exe create DailyLubuntu binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxHeadless.exe\"  startvm Daily LUbuntu - Lucas" DisplayName= \"Daily Lubuntu VM" start= "auto"

The service was successfully created, but when I will initialize the service with the command:

> net start DailyLubuntu

, this error appears:

System error 2. The system cannot find the specified file. For more help, type NET HELPMSG 2186.

If you try to start the VM from Virtualbox, it works?

Just to warn you. At this point there are 3 votes to close your question as out of scope for not being about programming (but none of these votes are mine). Personally, I wouldn’t know if the closure for this reason is valid or not.

There is a project called Vboxvmservice that does this service for you. Just install, change the file VBoxVmService.ini inside C:\vms and restart the service.
