Instructions in installing a ruby development environment do not work on Win 10

In course: installing-a-ruby-development-environment

Installing on Win10 64 bit

Versions I installed:

ruby 2.2.5p319-x64 with DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx

vagrant_1.8.4

node-v4.4.7-x64

VirtualBox-5.0.26-108824-Win with Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.24-108355.vbox-extpack

Treehouse from the video

cmder 1.3.0

When I start Vagrant it does not appear to hook up to the Treehouse VM. And when I tr to run ssh I get this message: Vagrant ssh returns "ssh_exchange_identification connection closed by remote host"

The problem here appears to be that the installed versions of Vagrant and VirtualBox are too new to work with the Treehouse Vagrant VM that the course links to.

Questions: Is there a newer version of the Treehouse VM? If not, what versions of Vagrant and VirtualBox does the Treehouse VM work with? Should I be going back to the versions of Vagrant and VirtualBox mentioned in the course?
