best way to get XP for vmware fusion

I have vmware fusion 3.1.3 on macbook pro. I currently have a virtual machine, I installed win 2K Server. too old, too big. I need to get xp and do an installation. I tried to make a snapshot of the existing machine, but seemed to make mistake on the OEM version and wants me register and pay as the new. I have a win 7 pro machine, I guess I could try to make instant, but I was wondering if v3.1.3 will even run that? So, what is the best way to way (see below) to get a XP installation for my installation of vmware fusion run? Fiscally constrained, won't be upgrading to fusion or pay retail for XP anytime soon.

It will be VERY difficult to get copies of legitimate retail XP more.  Most of the things on eBay is also OEM, which is not available for use of the VM.

Do not forget that you must purchase a license of said too (the version on the existing machine is probably an OEM version too).

Why not just buy Win7 on amazon or costco?

The only other option is a sort of MSDN license, but these licenses cannot be used for production purposes.

    What is the best way to get a SVG file generated from After Effects?

    Is there a script to do this? I use the SVG file directly in my work. I did research online, but find that it has no native support of EI to achieve.

    I found some scripts online, but they convert output Adobe AE to the JSON file. Is there something similar available for the SVG file?

  • What is the best way to get a comp from AE 2014 to Flash Professional CC?

    I created a training video for 10 minutes for a customer who wants this video for an interactive flash presentation now. Now that the XFL export is no longer an option for AE, what is the best way to get all of the animations in Flash without having to rebuild the entire project?

    The XFL format was not much more than what I mean. The files are huge and for a project that I built in AE by using export, time would have been better spent just making the whole project in Flash.

    In addition, if you are only working in Flash, you can create projects that work on mobile devices and use HTML 5 instead of the traditional Flash Player. And in my never humble opinion the SWF format is dead.

  • Best way to get the content of the 1 page in a lot?

    Hi everyone - I just wanted to check with experts on the best way to get information from 1 html page.  For example, I have a page that shows every 1 '' Ribbons that we have in stock to be used on sandals, belts, bags, etc. dog collars;  (http://elizab.com/eb-1-inchribbons.html) I can do an iframe to pull this html page 1 to all others?  What is the best way to do it?

    Basically I just have to update only one page html (tapes 1 ") and then it is good on all other pages, instead of having me to go through and to update every page that uses ribbons 1" :-)

    I'm not sure what is always taken in charge and what is not recommended on this!

    Thank you-

    Use an SSI. Server Side includes. It's better than an iframe. Google for server-side includes.

    Usually, I use php for inclusions on server side, but your server must support php. If not, you can use .shtml server-side includes.

    You need only to update and download only one file when you want to make changes. So on what page/s you have included the SSI these pages updated as well.

    Although I am a little confused because your field of design takes a page in its entirety. How do you intend to include all of the information on other pages without doubt that contain other information as well?

    I guess that if you only have a small area in which to display all the different designs on your pages, then an iframe is probably the best solution for your because you can define its dimensions.

    Personally I would get really "upset" if I have to keep scrolling left and right and top and bottom, then maybe if you go the route iframe you can arrange at least all the vertical stripes so we don't have to scroll up and down or break designs down into smaller categories to its more manageable for the end user.

  • A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

    We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
    PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

    can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

    you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

    windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

    If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

    in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

    You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.

  • URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

    After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
    I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

    I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

    Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

    "Pending the unit.

    "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

    Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

    When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

    What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

    I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

    Help, please!

    Thanks in advance

    Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

    You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

    The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

  • What is the best way to get a customized version # from an ESXi host?

    Each quarter, we generate a sequence of updates (including patches and security scripts) which are performed manually on our 5.0 ESXi hosts. I don't have an internet connection and so I have to do it this way.  I would like to be able to identify the last quarterly update that has been run on the vCenter servers and/or Client VI.

    Right now, I think adding the quarter, example 1 Q 13 on the DCUI message, then help PowerCLI, vCenter to retrieve the message DCUI, crawled and paste the quarter in the field host Annotations on vCenter.

    Kind of ugly, but I cannot find a cool way to get data like this outside of the host.  I don't want to rely on my user manually set to nothing, for example the field of Annotations on vCenter that is also subject to errors.

    I really want something that can also be seen on the VI Client, too, as the annotations are only on vCenter.

    I have ideas about the best approach to tackle this problem.

    Thank you

    Not sure if this is the best way, but that's what I ended up doing.   It feels like there should be a better way.

    I've updated my quarterly script to add the version number at the bottom of the file, / etc/vmware/welcome, whenever it is run on an ESXi host (e.g. myScript version: v1.0 Date: 04June2013).  This file appears under the banner DCUI.

    Then, I wrote a script powerCLI to roughly the following:

    foreach ($vmHostObj in Get-VMHost-name *) {}

    # Get the full message of DCUI in/etc/vmware/welcome

    $msgObj = echo $vmHostObj | Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration-name Annotations.WelcomeMessage

    # Convert a hash of a string table welcome message

    $msgTxt = echo $msgObj.Item ("Annotations.WelcomeMessage")

    # find the clue for the string containing my script information, which is at the end of the welcome message.

    # This is important because the substring below function will extract everything after the index.

    $idx = $msgTxt.IndexOf ("version myScript :")

    If ($idx - gt 0) {}

    $label = $msgTxt.Substring ($idx)

    Set Annotation - remarks on the entity $vmHostObj - CustomAttribute - value $label

    }

    }

    This replaces the Notes field for each host, one day I can go back and make it more user-friendly where it replaces the version leaving the rest of the field notes intact.
