    I have been involved in this project.
    I fixed the issue in UpdatePacks x86 and x64 now.
    In x86 some files are tampered with. from the previous creator

    Do you have a picture of that problem?
    I think it's not a problem.

    You are the bug, you just forget to format that partition. Its not designed to overwrite existing installation.

    There are many use cases where formatting the disk and/or clean installing is exactly what you want to avoid.

    For me, upgrading from VirtualBox 4.2.20 (the version recommended on the first post) to VirtualBox 7.0.8 (the current latest version) fixed the crashes.

    VirtualBox 4.2.20 is only used for XP host, if your Host OS is windows 8.1 or newer, use the latest version of VirtualBox.
