It's a Windows installer that's going to read the Windows files from the 
install media.

Installing direct from the CD (or an ISO image) is fine.

Nothing will work though, unless you use full virtualisation.

If your CPU supports full virtualisation, then you can also use kvm, and 
that's in the standard Fedora kernel.
