[Req]: Windows Server 2025 (can't install additional tools, the exe is 32bit !!!!!!)

Component

Guest Additions/Installer

What problem are you facing?

On Windows Server 2025 we cannot install the additional drivers!
It's impossible since the additional tools installer is 32bit, and Windows Server 2025 does not have the wow64 package!
Check your additional tools exe in name it says amd64 but in fact is an 32bit installer and it CAN'T RUN on Windows Server 2025 !

A lot of people are not happy about VirtualBox developers, and we mean that!

Also even Broadcom are aware of Windows Servers 2025 and it's official as The Broadcom Team is working on an official release of Vmware Workstation FREE full amd64 (64bit).

This is the biggest news from Broadcom as amd64 is a must have today and in need for millions of people!

And more a lot a lot of people are complaining that virtualbox has become an absolute joke after version 7.0.26.
But you guys don't listen at all.

As soon as Broadcome will release the Vmware Workstation FREE amd64 (64bit) what do you guys think it will happen with VirtualBox? Ok let us tell you that VirtualBox will be extinct.
Broadcom is also working for adding full DX12 hardware 3D acceleration in it's soon to be released Vmware Workstation amd64.

How can we fix this?

What alternatives or workarounds exist?

Abandon VirtualBox and wait for soon to be released Broadcom Vmware Workstation FREE with full amd64 (64bit) and full DirectX 12 Hardware 3D Acceleration.

Anything else we should know?

1. Additional tools amd64 installer is in fact an 32bit exe.
2. 3D Acceleration is so bad and buggy that it caanot be used at all and more it has behemoth memory leak too.
