My base system is running 64 bit Windows 11 but I am running Windows 10 32-bit on a VirtualBox VM. The BBS is actually on the main sysetm's D Drive which is also mapped as a shared Folder on the VM. It seems to work well for me. I used to keep the BBS on a Virtual disk directly on the VM but seemed to have issues with file corruption.

Regarding re-installing Windows 32 bit were you doing a clean install when you tried to install it or trying to upgrade the existing install? Also, make sure you booted from a bootable DVD or USB if you go that route
