Windows gets weird when things are buried too many folders down. Not sure if that many folders in your path would do it but you could try moving ‘Learn_chef’ to the root of C:.

Been awhile since I worked with a Vagrant/VirtualBox setup, but I’m not seeing in what you have posted what would be causing any grief.

Ok I will do it but do I need to install any software or .kitchen.yml have any error? Could you confirm whether everything fine ?
