I suspect your issue is you are trying to instal a modern Virtualbox on an old unsupported OS. Check your Virtualbox version supports Windows 7 as a host.

If you just want to use yt-dlp for casual use I would just get a copy of Tiny Core Linux or a similar compact Live Linux distribution and boot from it. It is much saner and leaner on resources than setting a virtualization stack on an old machine.
