Sorry for asking but I need to be sure here: You downloaded VirtualBox 4.3.12 for Windows from our web page (VirtualBox-4.3.12-93733-Win.exe) and tried to install it on a Windows 8.1 box. But installation of VirtualBox fails with the error message that this version of VirtualBox supports only 32-bit but the 64-bit version (for your host) is required, is that correct?
There must be completely wrong because all our Windows packages support both 32-bit Windows hosts as well as 64-bit Windows hosts. Can you clarify?

You think that this is support?
Its free software and user based support. If you want real support you have to buy a support contract and it is not cheap.

all this time I thought this was help desk :O
I did a hard un-install of the VB 4.3.6 shown in the control panel, and reloaded 4.3.6 and it worked
Now my Hadoop test sandbox is up and running
seems there might have been a vestige of the prior attempted VB 4.3.6 in the registry,
and it might have been corrupted or populated by gremlins :O
Hadoop is now running all is well
