Selenium test on VM with Geckodriver - selenium

Question

Hi I have been trying to run a test on a virtual machine. I have gone through the Internet and none of the solutions worked for me.
I want to open firefox on Windows virtual machine. Here is my code:
#BeforeTest
public void launchapp() throws MalformedURLException
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\geckodriver.exe");
String URL = "http://www.google.com";
System.out.println(" Executing on FireFox");
String Node = "http://XX.XX.X.XX:5555/wd/hub";
URL url = new URL(Node);
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
desiredCapabilities.setBrowserName("firefox");
//driver = new FirefoxDriver(cap);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(url, desiredCapabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.navigate().to(URL);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
The error I get on the virstual machine is:
The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver gecko.driver system property....
On my PC I only see on the console that its trying to connect the node but it fails:
Marking the node http://.... as down: cannot reach the node for 2 tries
and
Unregistering the node http://... because it's been down for XXX ms
and in Eclipse:
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities [{marionette=true, browserName=firefox, version=, platform=ANY}], required capabilities = null
Do you have any idea why this is not working? What should I check?
