Vagrant, error when running vagrant up --provider=docker

Question

I'm trying to test the new docker support in vagrant 1.6. I'm on windows and I've setup my vagrant file but when I run "vagrant up --provider=docker" I get the following:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'docker' provider...
==> default: Docker host is required. One will be created if necessary...
default: Vagrant will now create or start a local VM to act as the Docker
default: host. You'll see the output of the `vagrant up` for this VM below.

The executable 'bsdtar' Vagrant is trying to run was not
found in the %PATH% variable. This is an error. Please verify
this software is installed and on the path.

Answer 1

1. Uninstall Vagrant completely, remove C:\HashiCorp.
2. Reinstall Vagrant.

This will fix everything.

Answer 2

1. Go to Programs and Features
2. Find Vagrant and Repair

No need to reinstall :)

Answer 3

a fast solution is to attach the path of the mingw binary location to the system's Path variable, e.g.: C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\mingw\bin

Remember to separate path entries with a ;.

Answer 4

Download & Install package follow instruction here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm

then update your Path environment variable to include the installed path of bsd executable, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin
