i actually fixed the problem. I had downloaded the only version that I found online which was from google code or what not

I found the iso so I mounted that to my virtual OS and walla! I am totally hooked up.

unfortunately, I missunderstood what dynamically expanding disk meant and I am stuck with windows on a virtual 5GB drive
