Drag and Drop - ErrorCode VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR -> fixed after 6.0.4

[santa]

Hi, i am using Windows 10 (Build: 1809) and i have installed the latest VirtualBox 6 (6.0.0 r127566).

VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.

CopyPaste works in both directions. Drag and Drop works only from the host to the guest.

For DnD from Guest to Host, I get the following error message:

Drag and drop error from guest
(VERR_INVALID_HANDLE).

Errorcode:
VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)

Komponente:
GuestWrap

Interface:
IGuest {13a11514-402e-022e-6180-c3944de3f9c8}

This error message is only output on Windows. With Linux DnD works without problems.

Same problem here with Vbox 6.0.2 on Windows 10 version 1809 system. Installed Vbox with WinXP 32 system + latest additions When trying to drag & drop a file from XP desktop (guest) to my Win10 destkop (host), I got the following error:

Le glisser-déposer de l'invité vers l'hôte a échoué.

Drag and drop error from guest (VERR_INVALID_HANDLE).

Code d'erreur : VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005) Composant : GuestWrap Interface : IGuest {13a11514-402e-022e-6180-c3944de3f9c8}

I am experiencing the identical issue with VirtualBox v6.04 r128413 with Windows 10 Pro x64 v1803 host and Windows 10 Pro x64 v1809 guest.

Exact same problem - Windows 10 Pro host and Windows Server 2012 guest (fully updated). Fails in *both* directions. Changing file types and using simple file names did not help. Running latest version of Vbox 6.0.4. Also attempted to reinstall guest additions; didn't help. Should note that the guest was built in an earlier 5.x version of Vbox. Feature stopped working when I upgraded to 6.0.4.

I repeated the test (and got the same failure) with a WinXP guest on an OSX 10.11.6 host. So, it's not Win hosts only...

I have the same problem using w10 host for a wXP guest.

Would also like to add that I have Virtualbox 6.0.4 running on Windows 10 1803, and I cannot Drag and Drop to a 32-bit Windows 7 guest.

Same issue. Can't drag to host from guest but works other direction. Windows 10 1809 x64 host Windows XP guest.

The same from Win2012 guest to Win7 host.

Drag-and-drop from guest to host did not work with zero length files in 5.* (#18109, #17443). Non-zero files dragged fine in both directions.

Now it does not work at all. Good job.

I just uploaded a new 6.0 test build which should contain the fix here. Please let me know if this test build fixes the issue for you. Thank you!

After installing v6.05 test build & corresponding extensions, drag & drop from guest to host still fails, but now the error message says, "Another drop operation already is in progress." Drag & drop from host to guest still works, even with zero-length files.

[Socratis]

Nope, still getting the "Drag and drop error from guest (VERR_INVALID_HANDLE)" error when DnD from guest to host. Host to guest works...

• Host: OSX 10.11.6
• Guest: WinXP SP3
• VirtualBox: Version 6.0.5 r129797 (Qt5.6.3)

At last, as of v6.08, drag & drop works bidirectionally. Thanks for the fix.

Great to hear, thanks for verifying!
