Description
**Describe the issue**
I installed tiny11 arm64 on my M1 and everything works fine. However, the guest tools ISO do not install the MSVC runtime (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version), which means that the WebDAV service does not start properly. When trying to start the executable manually it errors with `VCRUNTIME_140.dll not found`.
This is rather inconvenient, because tiny11 does not come with a browser and I couldn't quickly drop an executable in the shared folder (instead had to use a powershell command). After installing the runtime for arm64 manually everything worked out of the box!
It is rather unclear where exactly these guest tools come from, but I figured I'd report it here to see if anyone knows.
