Suspect this kind of trouble will become the norm for drivers with XP... Microsoft ended the driver signing style which was the proper way to deal with XP to Windows 7: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/deprecation-of-software-publisher-certificates-and-commercial-release-certificates

Of course I could be wrong, need to have someone look at this in more detail.

I have the same problem installing 6.1.32 guest additions on a Windows 2000 Professional guest, Pop!_OS (Ubuntu) 21.10 host. Workaround is to install the 6.1.26 guest additions from https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.26/VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.26.iso
