I run Fedora 18 Gnome. I have a legal copy of Windows 7 in .iso format. I am attempting to install it in Gnome Boxes.

When I try to install it, I get a message that says "Connection to windows7.iso failed."

I thought maybe it was just that particular .iso file. So, I downloaded Ubuntu and tried that... same thing happened.

What am I missing or what can I do?

Thanks for the help!

The error you describe only appears if you enter a URL. Try downloading the ISO locally and choosing it with the file browser in GNOME Boxes rather than typing in an URL.

I believe that may be due to a Selinux error. Check your Selinux config and logs. You might want to try to disable Selinux while testing.
