specify the pipe name in the format: \\.\pipe\<pipe_name>
In my case I have to start the machine with the unchecked "Create pipe" check box first, otherwise I have the error message.
I have tried to connect 2 VB with Windows 10. It is the newest version of VB 6.1.30. In serial port, the configuration checkbox is now : "Connect to existing pipe socket". instead of :"create pipe" is in your above example.
Ehen I have checked this box for the first VM, it started and stopped with an error: "NamedPipe#0 failed to connect to named pipe \tmp\vboxS0 (VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND)".
What to do in this case, where there is no check box "create pipe" ?
Thanks for your answer!
