Upon opening, it asks which server to connect to, select local host. Then click on Create New Virtual Machine and follow the wizard.

Once you got the cd inserted, power on the virtual machine and from there, its like switching on a new PC and installing your selected OS (winXP) > > I got stumped when my web interface didn't work.
