I've uploaded a new 7.1 Guest Additions test build:

https://www.virtualbox.org/download/tes ... 167177.iso

That should fix the Vista driver installation issues.

The mouse driver installation went on now.

But what are these remarks in the log file about:
Skipping to copy file "C:\Windows\system32\msd3d9.dll"
And:
Skipping to copy file "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msd3d8.dll"
