Message:Mark,
My question becomes how to copy the file from host hard disk to the virtual
hard disk?
When I tried to right click the file in host disk and select copy, then went
into VPC virtual disk folder, right click, there is no paste selection.
Thanks.

Just like you would if the two PC:s are separate physical PC:s:
-Create a folder share on your host.
-Copy the file to trhis folder.
-Inside Win7 connect to that share and copy the file to the C: drive
-Doubleclick the file
It is *exactly* like you do it with two PC:s on your LAN, there is no
difference just because one of them happen to be a virtualized guest
PC. With two separate PC:s you don't expect to copy on one PC and then
by magic being able to paste in the other, right?

Message: My question is this. If the update was for the OS in the vm, why did you
download it to the host in the first place?
Since it is on the host, just copy it to the vm as Bo suggested.
