Does this crash also happen with VirtualBox 4.2.4 (not only 4.2.4 Additions but VirtualBox 4.2.4 installed on the host)?

[Alexey Dedyukhin]

This crash happen on host only (4.2.2 and 4.2.4).
On guest all times VBox additions 4.2.4.

Unable to reproduce with the same configuration (VirtualBox 4.2.4/GA 4.2.4, 2k3 sp2 server host and 2k3 sp2 server guest) Only added --wait-exit option to make calc.exe execution visible.

Replying to Lelik:

Yes, it really works on my system too! But without "--wait-exit" - crash.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
