2 fresh new Win10 Pro installations:

a. Host  Win10 Pro 64bit, Build 17763.1577
b. Guest Win10 Pro 32bit, Build 19042.1348

on top of a lenovo l560, 64bit, 8gb ram
vmguest:  1gb win10pro 32bit

both installations, same error ...
runtime error 216 at 004041BA
with the wp2005b5 setup.exe

search for runtime error 216 results in 3 directions
1. virus    checked
2. Runtime Error 216 Delphi
3. Runtime Error 216 pascal

on delphi it relates to problems with forms
to be continued ...
