Ah - that's another problem I've been having... I cannot - *cannot* - use my VI client to attach an ISO to a VM as a CD/DVD, nor the analogous files for floppies. It just errors out with 'Please specify a valid image'. Yet these files write to disk just fine, and I can then put them in an appropriate drive and it will work just fine.
