GUI crashes on XP host when creating Windows Server 2012 VMs

[Stefanus]

Hello,

there seems to be an issue with VirtualBox 4.2.0 r80737 on XP hosts. I have the same problem on two different XP hosts (SP3 / 32 bit): Whenever a VM with OS type "Windows 2012 (64 Bit)" is created the GUI crashes with a pop up (AppName: virtualbox.exe ModName: qtcorevbox4.dll ModVer: 4.7.3.0 Offset: 000fee33). Afterwards it is no longer possible to start the GUI again (the same error pops up). This also happens when the OS type of any VM is changed to W2K12.

On another host with Vista (SP2 / 64 bit) everything works fine with W2K12 VM´s.

Hello,
Tried on a Windows 7 64 bits host, VirtualBox 4.2.0 r80737 : got no problem. I added no disk at all.

Hello,

thanks for feedback. This issue seems to be XP specific.

Hello,

this problem still persists with VirtualBox-4.2.2 r81494 (on two different XP hosts). Could someone with a XP host reproduce this ?

(to fix the problem afterwards use vboxmanage unregistervm "VMNAME" to unregister the corresponding VM)

I also noticed on a Vista-64 host that there is no icon for a Windows Server 2012 VM in the GUI.
