Choose No automatic updates and wait some more.There are several progress bars that slowly climb to 100%, only for another task to start back at 0% I hate that.
Wait while the basic parts of Linux are downloaded and installed. You have to select Yes explicitly to write the new partition table, but it's quite safe: you are operating on a virtual disk held in a file, not directly on the hard disk of your Mac. Partition using 'Guided – use entire disk'. Type your full name, edit your username if you like, choose a password. Accept the defaults for the mirror of the Ubuntu archive. Choose a name for your machine if you like, though ubuntu will do. Under Windows, you're likely to want English (UK) and English (UK) again. Say No to Detect keyboard layout, and choose explicitly I used English (UK) and English (UK, Macintosh), though this gives £ rather than # for Shift-3. 
Use the arrow keys to choose English on one screen, United Kingdom on the next. You are now in a text-mode installer: stop clicking and start typing! Press Return to accept Install. There's no need to install a VirtualBox Extension Pack, but it does no harm if you do so. Double-click on the VirtualBox installer, (if on a Mac) double click on the parcel icon, and accept all defaults. We will use a minimal, text-based installer because that gives the option of installing only the parts of Ubuntu we need, omitting office suites, e-mail clients, web browsers and the like. The 32 bit PC version will do, and it's safest to choose the latest LTS (long term support) version.
