@chevdor Can you perform this operation with the debug log enabled? I'd be really interested to see what the actual error message that was thrown looks like.
We use the VAGRANT_HOME environment variable to add boxes via metadata URL on C:\D:\E: drives and haven't had any trouble. I've also downloaded box files to a secondary disk and added them to a VAGRANT_HOME located on my primary disk, so I'm not sure what is causing the issue.
