Make sure you copy and paste the command I provided. You can paste into CMD by right-clicking.
After the command shows in CMD, press Enter.
not trying to be mean but did you not really read my comment??? I did what you said to do!! i did this->>> copy & past in cmd . pressed enter with this->>“ProgramFiles\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe” internalcommands repairhd “HomePath.docker\machine\machines\local-by-flywheel\disk.vmdk”
and
i got this ->>No file format specified and autodetect failed - please specify format: VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
Can you try running the command again and then screenshot the output in Cmd.exe? I’d like to see the full output if possible.
Hi Clay,
Just installed the latest version of Flywheel. I’d love to use it instead of XAMPP. However, it isn’t working and constantly hangs at Starting Local Machine. Am I supposed to start Virtual Box separately or what? I watched a video of someone using this on a MAC flawlessly. Is this all Windows related? Here’s what the log file says (I’m using Windows 7 Ultimate):

Hi Robert,
It looks like it’s only been 3 minutes since the Waiting for an IP step. I would recommend giving it a little more time.
How long should it take?
It depends on the computer but I would give it around 10-15 minutes max.
In that case, vmware-vdiskmanager.exe is your best bet for repairing the disk image. See Local App now hangs at Loading... screen. On step #1, make sure you download the Windows version.
If you run into an error about missing DLLs when running this, you may need to install OpenSSL. I was able to get around that error on my Windows testing VM in Parallels by installing the Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.2m Light version from this page: https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
hey, clay I did what you said and it didn’t work. but I would like for you to see something can you tell me what does this mean.

Hi @Eric_Strickland,
Are you seeing the errors above in VirtualBox?
Can you try the vmware-vdiskmanager.exe process again and screenshot the output like you did before?
I’m so sorry for all of the trouble!
Hi, @ http://local.getflywheel.com/community/u/clay hope you can help me out here. I’m not a developer by the way. I was able to build a site using local by flywheel version 2.0.8 However, I want to push the site to flywheel hosting, but I can’t do that unless I’m using an newer local version. I have downloaded 2.1.2 version and now I’m stuck and can’t get local to work again.
