    Hello,  I have downloaded the RC version but in the first instance it asked me to save it WIndows 7 RC file to a CD but of course given thats its over 3.5G that would not work.  So I went ahead, wrote down the CD Key etc but now can't get it to run.  Oh just one other thing I am running VMware on my MAC but thats not an issue because XP works fine and so should WIndows 7.

    If it's over 3.5 G, you must have downloaded and extracted the 64-bit version of Win7 RC. Are you sure you can handle that with your base configuration? (BTW, that 3.5 G don't fit on a CD, is obvious. You need a DVD instead.)

    Mocca32,

    If you downloaded the installation form the microsoft site, then you downloaded a DVD image.
    The extension of the file should be ".iso". Now if you want to install this image of windows 7 in a vmware pc.

    The only thing you need to do is associate the iso file with the dvd/cd player of your vmware machine.
    And boot the vmware machine from your virtual cd/dvd player. And the installation of windows 7 will kick off.

    Kind Regards
    DFt
