window backup (wbadmin) restore error "Cannot enumerate files" if guestadditions installed.

[John Huttley]

Guest Windows 2008 Server (32bit) as DC role. Guest edition 4.0.2 installed, 4.0.4 running.

Perform windows full vss backup, with windows backup to attached disk.

Boot into DSRM and attempt a system state restore.

wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -version:xxxx -backuptarget:E: -authsysvol

Errors with "cannot enumerate file"

If the guest edition is removed, a restore can be made.

Comments on the net suggest that this might be due to the path names of the vboxservice in the registry. However a brief examination of the service keys did not show anything unusual to my eye.
