Trying to run TillMill on a PC using the TileMill VirtualBox VM. VirtualBox installed successfully but when importing the .ova file, I get the following error:

Failed to import appliance C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\mapnik-foss4g-2011v2.ova.
Could not create the clone medium 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\VirtualBox VMs\Mapnik-FOSS4G-2011\mapnik-foss4g-2011v2-disk1.vmdk' (VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE).

   Apologies. The VM only work on 64 bit systems right now. I'm planning on updating it by tomorrow to the new tilemill 0.4 and will do a 32 bit version at that time. So hold tight :)

   Hi ReliefWeb,

   Okay, I have a new VM ready for you to try. This one is 32 bit, so it should work on your system. Just make sure to install VirtualBox >= 4.0.x. Then download and "Import" this appliance:

   http://tilemill-vm.s3.amazonaws.com/TileMill-0.4.2-32bit.ova
   

   Please let me know when you've had a chance to download and test this.
