The VirtualBox Native Execution Manager (NEM) is an experimental VirtualBox feature. [VirtualBox uses NEM when access to VT-x and AMD-V is blocked by virtualization software or execution protection features such as Hyper-V, WSL2, Windows Sandbox, memory integrity protection, Application Guard, Credential Guard, Device Guard, and other features and software.](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v) macOS and the macOS installer have memory corruption issues under NEM virtualization. The script checks for NEM and exits with an error message if it is detected. The VirtualBox Native Execution Manager (NEM) is an experimental VirtualBox feature.

[VirtualBox can run on WSL2 and WSLg with some kernel module compilation](https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox/issues/523). At the point that kernel module compilation is required, though, it's preferable to use QEMU/KVM, which on WSL2 and WSLg is orders of magnitude faster than VirtualBox. WSL2, WSLg, QEMU, and KVM require additional configuration that is beyond the scope of the script.
