Windows 7 installation fails: says 0 MB Ram available

Hello,
tried to install a Windows 7 compatible OS ontop Mac OS X El Capitan with VirtualBox 5 in the middle:
the procedure stops saying 0 MB ram allocated.
Instead, 4096 MB had been allocated in the base config. What did i miss ? To be honest, a "pure" Windows 7
installation got through without problems. Thanks in advance for any help. Roberto
PS: Just to be clear, it is not a critical issue, still.... :?

Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. As far as the VBox.log.zip goes, here's what you do:
- Start the VM.
- Record the error message. EXACTLY. Post a screenshot if you have to.
- Shut down the VM.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show Log...".
- Save it, ZIP it and attach it in your response.

On top of that, we'd like to see the "recipe" of the VM.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show in Finder".
- Save it, ZIP it and attach it in your response.
