Syntax error: Invalid parameter 'VMs\Oracle' while resizing a Virtualbox VDI

Issue

Getting following error while resizing a Virtualbox VDI using the following command

VBoxmanage modifyhd D:\VirtualBox VMs\Oracle EBS 12.2.4\Oracle EBS 12.2.4.vbox --resize 550000

Error Description

Syntax error: Invalid parameter 'VMs\Oracle'

Resolution

Looks like the issue is due to the spacing between the directory names. Simply use the above command to make sure the D drive path is in quotes. 

VBoxmanage modifyhd "D:\VirtualBox VMs\Oracle EBS 12.2.4\Oracle EBS 12.2.4.vbox" --resize 550000
