Loading ISO's in Virtual Box

[Bruce.Labitt]

Thanks John.  I got a little further.  

Now I get an error that is related to hardening.  The error blames AV SW on my windows machine.  I'm not surprised, but I can't even temporarily turn off the AV to test the hypothesis.  The machine is relatively locked down but I do have admin privileges.  I 

I then made the mistake of installing a VB extension pack.  That causes BSOD.  I haven't seen that in ages.  I'm done with that.  There's no excuse for that any more.

Is there a VM SW that actually works with a corporate managed PC?  And is low cost or free?   

I'd go with VMware if I was going to always needing VM's, but this is not the case.  I only need a VM to install some SW on yet a different machine.  It's a Jetson TX2.  This is a heck of a lot of work to do a tiny thing.  What's driving me crazy is that I already have the TX2 talking to the internet, so you'd think an update would be trivial.
