I have done this in vmserver 1.0. I set the Cd to point to the .iso file. Then I start the vm and it starts to install.

I am on the summary screen. I have created a VM. I go to CD/DVD -> edit I change the radio button to Host Medio Then I select ISO Image and Browse.

Here is the problem: Then in my browser I get

Inventory -> Virtual Machine (directory)

I don't know where that directory is. I have my ISO's in a folder on my desktop. I can't browse to my desktop. When I try to just put in a path such as

c:\mydesktop\mylinuxdirectory\linux1.iso

The following problems have been found:OKThe ISO Image File Path must be a valid file path in the format: "[datastore] /path/to/isoimage.iso".

so how do I browse to an ISO? I can add the iso after I start the VM, but by then its too late and the VM says no Operating System installed.
