I have a Windows 11 Pro Host machine running VirtualBox 6.1.30 r148432. Running a Windows Vista guest machine results in a BSOD in the guest during installation. I know that this version of Windows has limited support but I have software that only runs on Vista that I need to run and I would really like to make this work so I don't have to move the dreaded VMware. Here is a screenshot of the BSOD that I get.

I have tried running it in minimal paravirtualization it made the machine run through the installer longer but it then gave a BSOD. It is weird as I have no problem running Windows XP, DOS, or even OS/2 but it is impossible to get past the install screen in Windows Vista.
