Yes, I think you need to complete the wizard first. Probably the simplest way to do that is to tell it you want to install from a local CD (With no disc in the drive) or a non-existent ISO. When you complete the wizard, the new VM will start (to begin the installation), power it off and re-configure it to add the USB host.
