path problem with new LivePC Configuration
Submitted by John H. Hartman on June 5, 2007 - 3:05pm.
Under the new LivePC configuration I was trying to create a virtual CDROM using an ISO image. I could not enter a dash "-" in the path. The length of the path was also limited by the size of the text box. I also had trouble using the mouse to place the cursor within the text in the box.

Thanks for the feedback. We
Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of the limitation for the CD-ROM ISO Path. The next version will allow you to browse the path so that longer file paths and other text input limitations will not occur...including typos.
For those who can't wait and need to get ISOs working.
There are 2 workarounds available:
1. rename iso to a short name and place it in the root of the drive letter.
2. Enter a C:\foo.iso for the ISO path using the Edit LivePC UI.
Manually edit the vmx file in the LivePCs activation folder and add the full path for the CD-ROM ISO device. look for deviceType="cdrom-image" and update fileName= for the device.
