[Fixed] Virtual Box 4.3 Beta 1 (Windows) GA crash on NT

[MikeDiack]

Hi

I've just installed VBox 4.3 Beta 1 on Windows 7 x64 SP1 - which on the whole is great, but have begun upgrading my VMs:

Upgrading my NT4 SP6 VM (which worked with Guest Additions 4.2.16 on VBox 4.3 Beta 1), now shows the following after rebooting the NT4 guest after install the 4.3 beta 1 guest additions:

VBoxTray.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point GetLastInputInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll
[OK]

VBoxTray.exe doesn't load and appear at the bottom right (status area) of the NT4 desktop.

Looking up the API at MSDN, it's clear the API in question is only supported on Windows 2000 and later. I guess you've updated the guest to improve mouse capture support or idle detection, but I'd guess you'll need fallback code for NT 4 systems?

That's correct -- GetLastInputInfo is the cause for VBoxTray not running on NT4.
We'll fix this in the ASAP. Thanks for letting us know.
