vim GUI on virtual Win 95 - NOT

According to the vim download page info, gvim73_46.exe should be good also on windows 95. I have win 95 installed in a VirtualBox machine running on win 7 64-bit. And, I ran the gvim73_46.exe install, which was all successful until the end where I get the message:
"Error Starting Program
The C:\Program Files\vim\vim73\gvim.exe file expects a newer version of windows. Upgrade your windows version."

This popup is on top of another:
"c:\program files\vim\vim73\gvim73.exe
[above repeated]
A device attached to the system is not functioning."

My win 95 install is one of the last updates that were put out, an OEM that shows itself as 4.00.950 B.

Can anyone shed some light on what's happening here? Is there somewhere I can look for a detailed description of the actual error?

Thanks,

Dave
