The Import Appliance feature never reaches completion but appears to work OK.
I used File - > Export Applicance to export an WinXP virtual machine I had created on an AMD machine.
I used File -> Import Appliance to import that appliance/virtual machine (the WinXP VM) on an Intel based laptop (Lenovo T530i). The import got to 99% 2/3 and never completed. Or I should say the dialog box never got past 99%.
I used WatchCat (a process monitor) to terminate the vbox session.
When I restarted vbox the imported "appliance" was there - i.e. the WinXP VM. It started and appears to be running fine. I had to re-import the guest additions, but other than that it is running fine.
So it appears the import works correctly, even though it never gets past 99% on the progress dialog box.
Kudos to all who are working on this project. Very very nice.
