Win7 RC installation ended abruptly, log attached

[teejay]

Hello All,

Trying to install Win7 RC on Win Vista Home Premium 32-bit but the installation on virtual box ended abruptly. I have attached the log, as recommended in the error message. Can anyone figure out what the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

Sure can. Don't give more than 50% of the total amount of memory to the guest. Try it with 1024 Meg and see if it will install.

You were spot on. I reduced RAM allocation to 1GB and installed without any issues.
Good to have RC1 installed but no audio drivers at the moment. Just want to check if its worth to pay for an upgrade.

Thanks again.

Audio is easy. Snag the reatek.com drivers and install them in Win 7 then tell Win 7 to do an update.
Use the default sound (ICH AC97) in the VBox settings of the guest
