Hi David, I'm currently on holiday, so it will still be several days before I can perform these tests fully. However, I can tell you that I can successfully install the program to other computers; this only occurs during as an attempt at virtualization. I have tested this on both my desktop and laptop computers with the same effect. I did purchase this CD in a box separately; it did not come with a computer purchase.
I previously made an .iso of the disk and tried an install but the same bug occurred. However, I did not use the dd command for the .iso--I just used Brasero. Would that make a difference?
