I got the following error earlier in OSX when launching my powered off VVV instance with `vagrant up`:
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below. Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"] Stderr: 0%... Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterface, interface IHostNetworkInterface VBoxManage: error: Context: "int handleCreate(HandlerArg*, int, int*)" at line 66 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
I was able to fix this by running the following:
cd /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/ sudo ./VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
This reset the services used by Virtualbox and allowed Vagrant to talk correctly to the virtual interfaces again. My guess is that this would help solve related errors as well, not just the one that I received.

How to solve it on windows ?
Thank you for your post. The only solution that worked for me was to rerun the VirtualBox installer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18149546/vagrant-up-failed-dev-vboxnetctl-no-such-file-or-directory
Worked for me.
