Are there risks in downloading / using VMware?

I want to check if I'll be able to run a workshop manual of car on my Macbook pro (mid-2009, El Capitan). The website offering it says it will take me to download and install VMware fusion, then VMware player. Does anyone know if there is a risk for my machine by doing this?

Kind regards

Patrick

There is no risk of running Vmware Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox which are all of the virtual machines that allow you to run Microsoft Windows on your computer. I guess that you will be running Windows in the VM. Go to the website of fusion for instructions about installing merge then merge Windows. Once Windows is installed and running to get and install the manual program of the car. You must protect your Windows installation against viruses and malware.

  • Are there advantages in the use of CFSCRIPT on CFTAGS?

    Hello!
    My App has nice CFScripts in it and found almost nothing written in javascript. I've read about cfscript and there isn't a script, just like cf tags headed the CF server for the processing on the client side.
    So my question is why bother using cfscript? What is the benefits of using cfscript instead of cf tags?

    It may be that this application does not need to be coded in javascript, but even in this case why the previous developer worth using cfscript instead of simply use ordinary cftags. Are there many benefits in using cfscript and I don't have enough knowledge to know these advabtages?
    For me, I found it easier to debug using cftags, because I can cfdump everything?

    An example of code just because I wanted to.

  • Are there integrated sound to use for the good and the bad?

    Mac OS 10.8.5

    Captivate 7

    I started working with this about two months ago and seem to remember to come through sound effects ready-to-go to drag and drop the success and failure. If they do not exist, what are the file names? I think I have deleted them inadvertently.

    But was such a jumble of ignorance that I am not even sure that my memory is good.

    @RIck, she never install sounds indeed.

    But in the Gallery\Sound, there is a subfolder DragDrop. He has an IncorrectSound.wav and 3 soundx.wav files. No doubt those who have been used.

    @dowbright to avoid having to reinstall, I have this folder (you can't download wav) zipped and put it on acrobat.com. Here is the link: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=iEfx4X-dl2TU * MC * NMDSZQ

  • Are there risks to change the supervisor password?

    Hello
    Someone knows if I change the SUPERVISOR password, could that affect something else?

    what I mean is...

    If I have to take care of something, or manually change the password in a file any.

    I did some testing and I only change the password for odiparams.sh the file and there are no problems, but I don't know if there is something to change.
    I m use 10.1.3.5 ODI version.
    Thanks for your help.

    Personally, I don't see any risk and problem with that but if the supervisor is the only user with supervisor previledge, make sure that you don't lose the password which can be a problem.
    Given that all the other odi bat or sh progran bed in the odiparams, I think that change of odiparams should be enough.

  • Impossible to download using vmware-UMD

    I have a number of ESXi 5.x hosts on an isolated network that requires me to use UMD to download and export patches to allow the use of these networks Update Manager.  I was able to install UMD on a Windows Server 2008R2 x 64 box with MS SQL 2008 Express provided.  I must point out that the server is in a State of high-lockdown.  The problem is that whenever I try to start the download, I get the following error:

    I checked the registry keys exist and that all users have access to it.  I also checked that regedit is not limited.  Finally, I can't find where other log file information is stored, as appropriate.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

  • Are there disadvantages to the use of libraries in the project to organize common code used by different projects?

    My company is trying to determine how best to organize and share our common code. We use subVersion. We have several important programs that are deployed on different machines, some of which are running older versions of labview. I read a lot of documents on how to share the code, but I still don't know if it makes sense to use the project libraries to organize the code which will be shared by several projects. Another option is the package build. Can someone comment on the advantages and disadvantages? Thank you.

    Because you use several versions of LabVIEW, go with the packages.

    The project libraries are stored in a specific version of LabVIEW.  So if someone registers in 2014, you can't use it in 2013.

    If you use packet, then you have a core library that is 'installed' for a specific version of LabVIEW.  Each version of LabVIEW can have its own installation of this package.

  • BlackBerry smartphones are there fees for the use of GPS on the "BOLD"

    New user.  Can you use this free feature when it is on the Menu, or is there something I should be aware of that. Thanks in advance.

    There is no cost to use Blackberry Maps or Google Maps (if you choose to install it).

    According to me, if you want to have voice communications (turn left at the _, etc.), you will need to subscribe to a sort of Navigation plan (like TeleNav I believe).

    BlackBerry Maps and Google Maps will work with the built-in GPS and display your directions/map of the place for you. BlackBerry Maps will follow you even when you don't move - simply no voice instructions.

  • HP Driver blackmail scam, because there is no download driver for scanning HP 2200c spray

    Why are there no driver download for the 2200c HP scan Jet? We believe that HP has the HP Scan Jet 2200c deleted intetionally download drivers to force you to contact technical support in an attempt to blackmail on the purchase of a $ 150 million driver support and computer repair package. Those who bought this article in good faith, to be able to install the Analyzer system in their computer should join in a class action lawsuit again the company.

    HP is no different then any other hardware manufacturers. It is not financially viable for them to produce drivers/software for material that has a life expectancy of at least 3 years and is now about 12 years and after its sale by date.

  • Are there known problems of VMware Server transition to the Workstaton

    Hello

    As VMware Server end of support announced ( http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html) I was looking at transition to VMware Server 2 of VMware WorkStation. I have a Red Hat Linux host machine that has a VMware Server running on it with a single virtual machine. I was hoping to find out what are the problems might face to make the transition from one environment to another.

    I am aware that the server and the workstation cannot co exist on the same system, so basically I need to uninstall the server and install the work station. I am also aware that virtual machines are generally compatible between the two products. I also read on the comparison between products. ( http://vmfaq.com/entry/5/ )

    Are there other traps?

    Thank you

    Varun

    Hello

    You can download the VIX API (it contains the text console vmrun command - he didn't need a desktop case to run) from here.

    If you install the VIX API in a remote machine (not here where the workstation it is installed), you will be able to administer the computer zone in a passing distance.

    Of course, you can do the same thing on the workstation itself locally, using vmrun/vix it is included with workstation.

    Here you will find a tutorial on using vmrun to administer the virtual machine.

    Hope this helps

  • Are there other ways to install debugging other than its use qde token

    Hi all

    Currently I use q to install my token of debugging on the phone.

    Are there other ways to install the debugging token without using the QDE?

    Thanks in advance.

    jessica99327, there is an alternative. Looks like you can learn how to use the "draft" mode in the supplier portal.

    In a Word, instead of using chips debugging, you can create a copy of the signed receipt of your application. You download which, at the entrance of product that you create for your application in the portal provider as a new version. You attach the .bar file as you normally would, but after you save the new version you do NOT submit them as you would for a final version. It will be marked as a 'project' instead.

    Now, you use the 'sandbox' feature in the supplier portal to add emails your testers as sandbox accounts BBID to sand. (In the main menu in the provider portal.) These users must then put their devices in development Mode, and then run BlackBerry World. They slip down to obtain the settings menu of the application, select the page in development Mode that should be visible and enter the SKU or product id (that you provide) to the application under test.

    They should then see entry application (this may take a few hours before it is visible, when you perform this operation for the first time) and can hit download (without having to pay for it). It will install and should work exactly as he would have if you had released it and that he had bought the app.

    There should be multiple threads in the BlackBerry World Development forum which describe this in detail or answer the questions about it, if you try this and need more help.

  • Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites?

    Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials:

    At the insistence of some other people on this community, I decided to start another thread for this exact same topic:

    Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites? I went on the first site in my search on the web:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=520

    It looks pretty official to me, however, there is only one problem with the above site. Download options are way too vague for us lay people. After publication on the website of MS Community, I was quickly corrected on my ad which does not seem to be an idle thread and offered a link to download the instructions and frequently asked questions that did not work. Much later, I was offered another site to download with different language options and a more detailed description of download:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-all-versions

    Well, I have to ask the same question again, but in a different way: why society billions of dollars allows this kind of nonsense (multiple and various download sites on the web) occur under their name? Excuse me if I look a little frustrated on this problem, but I am!

    Here's what the site was used initially. I still don't know which version to download for use on this site. The only distinction: "amd64" or "x 86". I don't know looking below that mean both.

    Version:
    Date of publication:

    4.4.0304.0

    10/11/2013

    Name of the file:
    File size:

    ENUS\amd64\MSEInstall.exe

    13.0 MB

    ENUS\x86\MSEInstall.exe

    10.6 MB

    Download sites are for companies and technicians who need to deploy these.  Basically, the people who understand and who need these details.

    For consumers (users of this community site), the printable page is simply microsoft.com/security_essentials

    Here, you can easily get the version you need.
