[Edit]Installation hints

How to install in a few steps:

1. Before running eComStation installation make sure to enable Intel VT-x or AMD-V support

If you don't like to type in your eComStation registry key you can use one of the following ways:

1. Create a regular floppy disk containing your eComStation registry key file on a regular personal computer with a build in disk drive
2. Use a disk imaging tool which can create a file type .IMG or .IMA (e.g. EMT4PM on OS/2)
3. Create your image and rename it to MYECSKEY.FDD
4. Tranfer that file to your PC in an appropriate way (USB-Stick, network ...)
5. Connect that virtual disk drive in VirtualBox while install procedure quest for it
