[vagrant-up] Bringing up a VirtualBox VM requires elevated session when VMware plugin installed

[Paul Broadwith]

When you try to use:

vagrant up

or

vagrant up --provider=virtualbox

and you are NOT in an elevated session you get:


Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:

Failed to invoke the VMware utility task.

Cause: ERROR: Access is denied.

Please address the issue above and try again. If
this problem persists, please contact ***@hashicorp.com


This is with the vmware plugin installed and the environment variable
`VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER` set to `virtualbox`.

My issue is not so much that you need to use an elevated session but why I
need to use an elevated session when prior to installing the vmware plugin
it wasn't necessary. Vagrant appears to want to use the VMware plugin
(which launches a vmware tool which requires admin rights) for something
even though it's not bringing a VMware box.

Is this normal behaviour?
