How to install Mangoose Honda Software on VMware?

The MINI VCI cable for Honda (also called mangoose for Honda) gives very good results for older Honda models, compared to expensive universal testers that usually do not produce conclusive results.  I failed to install software on Windows 7, but make it work on XP Mode on Windows 7 machines using VMware.  Check tutorial below :
