• Cannot open the exe of Vmware workstation

  Hi all, thanks for reading this post.

  I have a file called vmware-workstation-full - 7.0.0 - 203739.exe which, once clicked is not installed.

  I have norton product of internet security in 2012. I also disabled but not luck.

  Pls let me know any solution? Previously, I had VMware installed, but later I uninstalled it.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  If nothing seems to happen at all when you start the installation, open the Task Manager and check if there is a process of "fixcamera.exe". If so kill this process and begin the installation. If this isn't the case, the first step to solve the problems is to verify the signature of the downloaded installation package MD5.

• Cannot find the Windows 7 Desktop in VMWare Fusion

  Hi all

  I installed VMWare Fusion on my mac.  Works very well.  However, I can't find my windows desktop.  The only thing I can find is Internet Explorer.  I know when I installed it, I clicked on something after the small bar at the top of the screen, but I can't remember what.  Now, in VMWare fusion window, under Windows7, it shows only a gray screen with an icon of recycle bin on it.

  Any thoughts?

  Looks like you spent at the sight of the unit.

  Just move your mouse up to the center of the screen and should display the VMware Menu and then click on the view menu and select full screen or single window or you can open the menu either VMware Fusion application on OS X, Windows applications menu bar or Dock VMware Fusion tile with a ctrl-click.

• HELP: VMware Fusion does not open a virtual machine

  Hi *.

  suddenly, I had a big problem with merging om Mac OS X 10.6. If I try to boot my virtual machine by opening the .vmx file, merger tells me that is is not possible to open, because it's a file "Steinberg VST mixer Stettings. Steinberg is installed and MAC OS brand all the file .vmx as 'Steinbergfiles '. But in fact the content of the .vmx file is my virtual machine configuration.

  Advice how to convince to use my config file and start my VM fusion are welcome. I already tried to change the type of file in this folder to a text file, but it did not help.

  Thank you

  RobiTobi

  the file extension has been hijacked by another application.  Right-click and choose open with, and then VMWare Fusion.    You can work around this problem by changing the name of the virtual machine at the end of .vmwarevm folder, and then double-click that instead of the vmx file (OSX only lets you have several apps to easily open the files automatically with the same extension)

• resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

  Here are the steps that I took...

  1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

  2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

  3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

  4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Paul

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

  When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

• Cannot run VMWare Fusion on Mac 10.9.4 6.4

  I use Fusion for some time on my Mac (Mavericks 10.9.4). Recently, when I went to launch Fusion 6.4, I received this message:

  Cannot run VMWare Fusion

  VMware Fusion is damaged and cannot be repaired. Please move the VMWare Fusion application to the trash and reinstall VMWare Fusion

  So, I removed the merger application and downloaded again. When I installed it, I got the same message. Well, I thought that this must be one of these 'hidden' files, see you must be corrupt, so I used App Zapper to get rid of the merger and all files related; emptied the Recycle Bin, so merger was gone, gone, gone. Uploaded a new image, the same thing!  No matter what I do, I can't use Fusion. Suggestions?

  Do not use Zapper App - merger, running specific uninstall scripts.

  I've seen that occur when get-Gatekeeper confused about how something has been installed, when permissions are confused, or when a hard drive is running out.  If you have VMWare Fusion and have installed and it run under an administrator account (default in OS x unless you change it), then first use disk utility to first 'check disk' (if you want something better, look for smart voltains software utility), then repair permissions.  If this does not work, try to right click on the merger in the applications folder, and choose open.

• 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.

• Cannot open the VM after upgrade to fusion 4.02

  Hello

  My VM - then Fusion 4.01 race me thre was an availeblae update. I chose the upgrade and after that the window with VM shows my VM with a brand of climbing on this 'error '...

  During an attempted "Flie - Open" I can't select the file of the VM at all

  Trying to open the virtual machine from the finder I just get the message 'cannot open '...

  I had once an error that the file has been assosiated to a totally different application - but I am unable to reproduce this error

  Someone knows how to solve this problem, or at least get my 4.01 fitness to work

  I was able to get the error... yet once while choosing and right my machine VM vmware

  "The document 'MyVM.vmx' could not be opened. VMware Fusion cannot open files in format "Steinberg VST mixer settings" "

  It seems that the Mac OS X Launch Services Database is messed up.

  Try to make the folder the files that constitute the Virtual Machine in a Document Package by adding the .vmwarevm extension and see if it will then start in VMware Fusion correctly.

  Otherwise, you can use a program like RCDefaultApp to correct extensions .vmx association and or .vmwarevm.

• Is it possible to open a VMWare Workstation virtual machine, VMWare Fusion?

  Hi all

  I recently moved to a MacBook Pro and have installed VMWare Fusion.

  I searched the forums but cannot find an answer to the question (or maybe I did not only hit the right keywords).

  My question is this...  Is it possible to open a virtual machine that I created in VMWare Workstation, VMWare Fusion?

  Thank you

  Dan.

  Do not.  Just copy the folder FULL of computer workstation computer merger.  In Fusion, select "Open an existing Virtual Machine" and find the folder that you copied and select the .vmx file.  No stupid masking the content of the file making it appear to the user unaware that the entire virtual machine is a big don't file this way.

• VMWare Fusion 6.0.5: Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory.

  I've been running VMWare Fusion 6 on my MacBook Pro with the Mavericks for quite awhile.  I just got a Mac Mini with Yosemite and I want to copy one of my virtual machines of the MBP to the Mini.

  I tried to just copy the vmware.vm of the MBP to the Mini but when I open it and try to start it I get the following errors:

  • Unable to open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory.

  Please ensure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded.

  • Could not initialize the surveillance apparatus.
  • Internal error

  I also tried to import the vmware.wm file, but it is always grayed out.

  How can I copy a virtual machine from one Mac to another?

  Hi atj777,

  Are you absolutely certain that this is Fusion 6.0.5, you're there?  Fusion 6.0.4 and earlier would fail on Yosemite the way you describe.  There are many other possible causes of the same error message, but it would be the first thing I would check a second time.  (My apologies if you have already verified!)

  What version of Yosemite are you running?  10.10.2?

  It can also be useful to restart your Mac to see if that helps... sometimes he does.

  To answer your question directly: simply copy the ".vmwarevm" package on the whole should be enough.  The message you see is a generic merge error and has nothing to do with the copy process.

  See you soon,.

• Failed to open session in Windows 7 'could not load user profile.', in VMware Fusion 7.0 after upgrade to Yosemite

  I upgraded my Mac Pro in OS X Yosemite 10.10. Before the upgrade, I did a normal shutdown of Windows and VMware Fusion 7.0.0. I also checked first for updates from VMware and was up to date.  After completing the upgrade, I restarted VMware and subsequently started to Windows. Shortly after entering the password to logon to Windows, I received the following error message "the service user profile Service has no logon. The user profile cannot be loaded. "My only option is to click OK, then it seems to re-start Windows, but I'm stuck with this result every time. I restarted the Mac with no variation in the result. Before the upgrade to Yosemite, I have not had any problems. Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  I found my answer for someone who is interested.  This isn't a Yosemite or VMware problem.  That's all just a fault which occurred during logon more likely an anti-virus on Windows running in the background.  There is a fairly simple solution be found on the Microsoft support site, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215

  I am once again running without any problem.
