Guest OS selected as Windows 98, chose 'I will install the operating system later' when it asked for the CD image upon VM setup. mpack Site Moderator Posts: 34986 Joined: 4. I just tested with VMware Workstation 14.1.2 and 98SE installation completes fine for both 14.x and 6.5-7.x compatibility. 4.3.x was the last branch of VirtualBox that officially supported XP. VirtualBox v5.x still works on XP hosts, but it is not supported there. Ideally you'd slipstream your own install, or use SysPrep and disk imaging tools. The main practical difficulty these days is that the last official installer is ancient and doesn't recognize half the hardware it'll see (you have to install the native OS before you can install driver updates). Hardware drivers are still readily available. For that reason it also makes an excellent VM. It uses far fewer resources than any later OS, so will positively fly on quite moderate hardware. If it works it's a perfectly reasonable choice, especially if you have no intention of upgrading the hardware or using the internet. A great many people still use XP, you see it everywhere.
