I'm having a hard time trying to install the "Edmark" game "Lets Go Read 1: An Island Adventure" in the Windows 98 Virtual Machine.
Nothing happens after Installation Loading Screen begins
What should I do?

Launch install.exe from inside \edinst\ on the image. For some reason the setup executable in the root of the disc doesn't work--dunno why.

I'm sorry that it didn't work for you.
I should let you know that I use VMware Workstation 12 Player for my vm needs and it does work in that. And I tested with the image I uploaded and the original disc.
The installed vm image that I used is Windows 98 SE v4.10.2222 A. I got the OS from WinWorld (link provided).

What do you know, the game actually did install on the other version of Windows 98 that you mentioned.
now I just need to have a microphone in place, since "Lets Go Read 1" requires the use of a microphone for the game
