Right, it is still possible to run a 32-bit VM build on a 64-bit platform. `os.arch` is the runtime platform in this case, but the VM variant can still be 32 bits.
Since `Architecture.isX64` seems to be the target arch of the VM, I'm think that when running a 32-bit VM on a amd64 would result in `isX64` being `false`? (In that case, only the `isX64` check should be enough)
