I'm trying modern.IE for the first time. The instructions say to download the vm for the appropriate OS (which I have done). Then to extract the exe/rar files. Then to import the vm. I opened hyper-v manager, clicked Import Virtual Machine, selected the Virtual Machine directory that resulted from the extraction but when I click next I get an error that no virtual machines exist at that location.

Anyone have any ideas? Am I missing a step?

Don't select the Virtual Machines directory - go back one level. The folder you want should contain a file called config.xml.

Alternately, forget about importing the VM configuration. You can create a new VM and just attach the VHD file to it.

    I do have config.xml one directory above but I get the same error. – devlife Jul 19 '13 at 21:34

    It might be easier to just create a new VM and attach the VHD from modern.ie to it instead of bothering with the import. – mikekol Jul 19 '13 at 21:54
  • Ok. I wasn't sure if that would preserve all of the settings, etc. That seems to have worked. – devlife Jul 19 '13 at 21:55
