Perhaps the last option: Hardware Dev Center doesn't provide driver signing for Windows XP, how can I have my drivers run in XP?.

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


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.
