Hi.
After updating Virtualbox and installing guest additions for the new version on a Windows 7 guest, the guest additions no longer start and the functionality provided by them no longer available (specifically, shared folders and mouse).
The process of installing guest additions, although successful, is fraught with the following problems.
1. When running D:\VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe the following error occurs.
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A
recent hardware of software change might have installed a
file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be
malicious software from unknown source.Installation is only possible by running D:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe — the installation process proceeds without errors and the additions are installed successfully.
2. After installing the guest additions using the aforementioned method, when shutting down Windows, the following error occurs.
Windows - Bad Image
Exception Processing Message 0xc000007b Parameters
0x000007FEFD9A715C 0x000007FEFD9A715C 0x000007FEFD9A715C
0x000007FEFD9A715C3. It's impossible to launch the D:\cert\VBoxCertUtil.exe in order to add Oracle certificates to the list of trusted publishers. The system returns the following error.
The system cannot execute the specified program.Why this happens? How to solve the problem?
Thanks.
virtualbox: 7.0.12
virtualbox-guest-iso: 7.0.12
Host: Arch Linux
Guest: Windows 7

To eliminate the possibility that this is a Windows issue vs. a host/VBox issue, what happens you restore the guest from snapshot and roll back the virtualbox update? Be sure to roll back ALL VBox related packages to their previous version.
There are plenty of open bugs listed at VirtualBox Open tickets (Windows guests only) for Windows 7, for example, the "verify digital signature" one is mentioned several times, so I doubt this is a packaging issue. It might be time to ditch Windows 7, which has been out of support/patches for over 3 years.

Same here, with Win7 guest. On guest boot there is possible to press F8 and tell Windows not to verify signature. After that guest boots and additions works as intended.
Wrong signature already reported on the Virtualbox site, hope it will be updated soon.

When installing virtualbox-7.0.10-1, virtualbox-guest-iso-7.0.10-1 and virtualbox-host-dkms-7.0.10-1 from the Arch Linux archive, everything works without problems, as it did before the update.

Well, I have only Windows XP other then Windows 7, so it's not a solution for me.

It works. Is it possible to disable signature verification permanently?

Could you provide the link to the ticket?

Start cmd.exe with Admin rights and run "C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit /set testsigning on".

As you mentioned, it works on a dkms, why are you running a regular virtualbox then? Which linux kernel are you currently running?
Is this a 32-bit Windows 7? If it is, then it is in conflict with the 64-bit addition you installed.
