I'm using VS2010 and the path is correct, but I don't know why I get the following error:

Shell inheritance test: OK
Source path: OK

Dear Team,
If we try to build vbox and specifically just VBoxUSB and VBoxUSBMon drivers for ARM64 then the projects like Windows on Raspberry pi can benifit as folks will be able to pass through the usb devices to Windows Subsystem for linux and utilize the linux drivers instead of waiting for or the windows deivers to be released with the help of projects like USBIPD as it is waiting for Arm64 specific drivers ( issue: dorssel/usbipd-win#233 ).

I installed Visual C++ 2010 in default paths, but run setup.python fail:

E:\project\build-virtualbox-in-windows\script>call build_vbox.bat

fatal error: PathAbs(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0) attempted to return filename with problematic characters in it (C:\PROGRA~2\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0). The tool/sdk referenced will probably need to be copied or reinstalled to a location without 'spaces', '$', ';' or '&' in the path name. (Unless it's a problem with this script of course...)

should I install in other path or any solution?

I am trying compile vbox and everything is ok before execute build.py.
The error info is showing as the image, could any one help?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. building VirtualBox 5.0.40, it uses QT4. however, this script uses QT5, likely causing compability issues.
because VirtualBox 5.0 has no option like --with-qt5= and only available --with-qt4=
Even for VirtualBox 7.1 (Currently Beta), which will be released later, this option is also required to use QT6.
OpenSSL also causes it. (--with-openssl=)

Describe the solution you'd like
Please make an legacy/new scripts that Builds old VirtualBox.
Not only for 6.1, 6.0 and earlier even 4.x.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Making a section that will build QT4 or QT5.

Additional context
None.
