That's how I tried it last night. Supposedly Windows got installed, I kept hanging with the install tools option. Was told I should try putting in the VM disk. Confused at this point and frustrated. GRrrrr. Wiped out my VMs but now now when I call up Fusion it still says I have a Win 7 machine installed.

VMWare disc? You shouldn't need a VMWare anything. Just install fusion on you're Mac, install windows making sure the easy install option is checked, and wait patiently. Fusion should install the tools automagicly. The only CD that you might need is you're windows disc and that only to install windows. Once windows is installed, you can take out the windows disc and put it somewhere safe for the next time you might need to install windows.

This worked the last time I did this with Version 3x. But I did notice the two times I created virtual machines that the process seemed to take no time at all. The frist time I figured maybe Windows had not installed properly, tried it again, just as fast, but I didn't delete the first VM first. Let me try it that way. But how can the tools install automatically if they need the VM disk to be in the drive if I have the windows disk in the drive? Am I better off installing Windows from the ISO file I got when I bought this upgrade version and leaving the VM disk in the drive?
