No image file

Anyone help? Right after putting in the KEY, the installation gives the
error message that it can not find the image file. Any clues?

Don't tell Virtual PC to control the physical DVD drive. Install Daemon
Tools on the physical computer and tell Daemon Tools to mount the original
ISO image that you downloaded. Then tell Virtual PC to control the Daemon
Tools virtual DVD drive.

By the way, you are not expected to believe this until you try it. In fact
if you're anything like me, you won't believe it even after you try it, but
you'll keep using this trick anyway.
