Can't install MS Live Writer in VirtualBox

That's NOT a workaround MY problem.

It requires to install WL on a 32bit system first. Well, that's exactly what I am trying to do in the VirtualBox and it does not let me. I do not have a 32bit system that is not a VirtualBox, if I had it I would not have a problem.

Maybe any other system?

It appears to be an impasse.

"Operating system:
Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (32-bit edition only), Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit editions), Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit editions), or Windows Server 2008."

XP64 is the only version not listed.

I know folk that run XP64 are often touchy about this.

I found online a copy of the WLW which installed and works on XP64. I anll the excitement I forgot to save the link as I usually do.

Unrelated: I have a couple of plugins that seem buggy, any idea if there is any support for plugins? I looed and could not find any.

It's no secret that plugins are often buggy. I would not accept that it's because it's on XP64 that is causing the problem. In fact, when there is trouble with WLW, browsers, Outlook the first thing we try is to take the addons to the loo.
