Thank you.

But I only downloaded the 32-bit Win 8 iso.
The guest OS is to be 32-bit.

By the way, my computer will not accept 64-bit guest anyway......

Updating..................

Long story short.

Win 8 Preview 32-bit is successfully installed in VMware. It is up and running.

Just one catch..... I have no idea what do I do with it.

That's great news t-4-2.

It allows you to run Windows 8 in a window in Windows 7, so I suppose that you could have fun running it to get to know Windows 8 better without leaving Windows 7.
