download ISO->create virtual machine->select the ISO in the cd/dvd for that virtual machine->start the virtual machine->wait for live CD to boot-> enter username "root" and password "toor"->enter the command "startx" to start GUI->click on install link on the desktop->follow steps->BT5 installed.

For VMWare...?? Then it must be VMWare VHDD File. Just try to attach that file as HDD in VMWare.

BTW From where you downloaded BT5 R2 KDE 32Bit VMWare..?? Because @ Downloads VMWare doesn't exists for KDE 32 Bit for BT5 R2.
