    The problem of Virtual PC and Kaspersky is the Application Activity Analyzer. You have to change following setting. Enable “Hidden Object” in the “Application Activity Analyzer” settings. After applying it should work.

    Andrea and David, I had the same issue. I temporarily disabled the kaspersky beta, and it installed no problem. Turned the AV back on, and everything worked great.
