Hi @burrsutter ,

Bit of incomplete information here.

What is minishift config view result?

C:\Users\burr\minishift_beta3>minishift start
Starting local OpenShift cluster using 'virtualbox' hypervisor...

Have you set the vm-driver to virtualbox before running start command?

I doubt you actually hit by this issue https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDK-70.

@burrsutter , this happens when you don't have ssh.exe binary set in your PATH.

We have observed that installing OpenSSH for Windows resolve above issue.

Please have a look and let us know.

@burrsutter still you are facing same issue or should we close this issue?

I came across this same issue trying to install OpenShift on a Windows 7 machine. A Google search brought me to this issue, and I can confirm that installing OpenSSH and restarting my command prompt fixed the issue.

I hope you find this report useful.

With recent change in Minishift code we do not have a dependency on SSHClient i.e. #1009. Hence closing this issue.
