In the Win XP x32 VM, ver reports "Microsoft Windows XP [Version
5.1.2600]" and it is XP Pro (2004) /w SP3. The only C compiler I have
setup is Pelle's C (ANSI C) so that's of little help.

Interesting, yes I think this is an issue with the current build of
Sun VirtualBox. I can't downgrade it to a previous version at the
moment, so am waiting for their next release.

ok, so you can confirm that it works under a Win7 x32 ? ;)

Yes, I just cloned two clean and freshly updated Windows 7 32-bit (and
64-bit) VMs, and the latest UPP builds install and run successfully on
both. :)  Oh, one last thing, it looks like the uninstaller does not
remove the start menu shortcuts yet.
