I get to click OK to my locale choices, then get to paste my beta product key in and ZONK! I get a dialog that is entitled 'Windows Setup' with a message stating:

"Setup failed to open the Windows image file."

looking into the logs in the Panther directory created by setup:

setup correctly locates the .WIM file on the mounted ISO image, but fails complaining that it is corrupt.  GLE=0x570

"IBS    SelectImages: Failed to retrieve the WIM file's XML info."

FYI: Virtual CD 7.1.0.2, and Virtual PC 2004 (5.3.582.27)...

This install.wim file is >3GB in size... I am going to purchase Nero ImageDrive to see if that can install B2 correctly.  If so,  looks like I have a bug in VCD 7.

Hope this helps anyone else having a similar problem.

What other ISO mounting tools are being used to mount the ISO image?

Very nice and it has plugins for the Explorer shell and through the media center (My Movies). Very sweet for DVD/CD emulation

There must be something dodgy in Vista's installer right there.

For the record, VMWare installed Vista without a hitch.
