Install procedure missing some steps

I’ve followed your instructions for creating a virtual version of Windows 8 twice to make sure I’d done it exactly as you suggest.

At the point where you say:

Click the Win8 item in VirtualBox Manager to launch your newly created — but empty — VPC.

a single click does nothing. Double clicking starts the machine but does not open the First Run Wizard and after halts the machine because of no OS. There is nothing in the pulldowns that say anything about the wizard.

Any suggestions?
