    All,

    I came across the file named above, it's ~ 350MB in size. It's just the installation file used when I first moved to P8, right? I don't need it to run my vm do I?

    Thank you,
    FH

    Evidently, my question was not that clear. Let me re-state: While digging around in my Mac yesterday, I found the above referenced dmg files. I don't need to download anything, I want to know if it's needed to rum my VM. I assume not as it is an installation files, not the app itself.
    Thx,

    FH

    Yes Franz, the file is no longer needed to be run your Windows virtual machine as it is already installed on your Mac.
