Description:
When attempting to perform an unattended install, be it via the command line or the GUI I will get an error along the lines of:

VBoxManage: error: Failed to open '/usr/share/virtualbox/UnattendedTemplates/win_nt6_unattended.xml' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)

After closer examination, it seems none of the Virtualbox packages have these template files included. A workaround for now is to download the files manually (I took it from a .deb package) and place them in the corresponding folder.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install virtualbox 7.0.4-1
2. Create a virtual machine
3. Run the unattended install command:

$: VBoxManage unattended install "Windows 10 VM" --iso="Win10_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso"
