Guest Scenario:
Attempting In-place upgrade from Vista Business 32-bit to Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit. The installation goes well and restarts several times, as it should.

Re: BSOD During Upgrade from Vista to 7
4.3.17 is an unsupported test build. Switch to a supported build such as 4.3.12, provide a new log file, and then we can discuss your problem.
Re: BSOD During Upgrade from Vista to 7
The issue was somehow related to having Guest Additions installed. After removing the Guest Additions from Windows Vista Business 32-bit, the Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit in-place upgrade completed successfully with no issues. This was confirmed by several of my classmates using various stable versions of VirtualBox. Also, previously, I had used VirtualBox 4.3.2-90405 which is a stable build, although a bit outdated.
