• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Cano I run several virtual machines with VMware player?

  I can't find a way to launch several machines virtual oin my Windows 7 PC with VMware player. Please advice if this is possible. If this is not the case, what vm product will do the trick?

  Eric

  You can also double-click any VMs .vmx files you want to start.  What I've done is set up the shortcuts in my quick launch for my VMs frequently used toolbar.  Each shortcut target the respective virtual machine .vmx file, is to start.

• automatic start of the virtual machine on vmware player 2.5.1?

  Can VMWare Player 2.5.1 the virtual machine autostart when it starts? I have Windows running VMWare Player when it starts, but just, this brings me to the main page of player where you can open file, recent opening, etc. You still have to physically click to open the virtual machine. So is there a way that I could automate it to just run itself when it opened (change of maybe a file somewhere)? If this version/product does not support this, can you recommend one that does?

  Player doesn't have the ability to auto-start the virtual machines.  The fact of VMware Server.  Server start virtual machines when Windows starts, not when you start the server GUI, which is not exactly what you are referring, but is usually what most people want when they want machines virtual autostart.

  'office' versions of Windows are listed as taken hosts supported OS.  Many threads on these forums about the small nagging issues with networking and such when to use Server on unsupported hosts, especially hosts Vista and Win7.  You don't specify what version of Windows you are using as the host.  If it is a server version, VMware Server is an option for you.

  But a simple solution is to simply make shortcuts to the. Files in the folder of your VMX virtual machine.

• Conversion of the virtual machines in VMWare Server 1.0.5 to vSphere Enterprise

  I have a couple of windows XP virtual machines running on VMWare Server 1.0.5.  Can someone point me to instructions for turning them into vSphere (ESXi 4)? The conversion occurs in the vCenter Server or with a separate program?  Thank you!

  VMware Converter, which is integrated with vCenter Server and the Client must be able to do this by directing it to the virtual VMware Server 1.0.5 computer files.  You just need to save the pluggin converter in the Client to use vCenter converter function.

• Receive error message when converting 5.1 VSphere virtual machine using VMWare Converter

  I am moving some Virtual Machines out of my server for VSphere, using VMWare Converter. When I select the source of success and the machine then I get a "failed to get hardware information for the selected computer". I tried two different machines. One is a Windows 7 and the other is a Windows Server 2003. The end of the game is to move them to a server with only VMWare Workstation.

  The research I've seen some users corrected it by changing the OS of the VM, but that did not help me. I have attached the diagnostic logs. Any help is appreciated.

  You must use the latest version of Converter 5.0.1 - 5.0 does not work

• Configuration connection between two virtual machines on VMware Player

  Hello

  I have a host machine running Windows 7, which is connected to my company's intranet. On this machine, I have two OS guests on VMware Player:

  VM1 - Running Windows Server 2003, in my company intranet

  VM2 - Running CentOS 5, not registered in my company intranet.

  The second of the two is a pre-packaged VM, fully operational to run a complex database system that has been downloaded from the software provider.

  I need to set up the environment such as the VM1, an application can connect to the database running on computer 2.

  For the moment I can do the following with success-

  * Ping the host to VM1 and vice versa

  * Ping the host to VM2 and vice versa

  * Ping to VM1 VM2

  However, I don't do a ping of VM1 VM2.

  Can someone please explain why this is the case? In addition, please suggest me on the best way to get this working environment. I prefer to do the minimum to juggle the VMS as they run important applications. In addition, it is not possible to save VM2 on my intranet, if that would solve the problem.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and answer.

  EDIT: Just noticed that I am able to access restricted intranet websites through VM2.

  Ahhhh, presto! Easy solution!

  All you need to do is change the 2 virtual computer hardware settings and change the network card.

  RightClick the VM, in settings, then replace the network card of NAT in bridge

  See this screenshot for a Visual:

  It's working now?

  See you soon,.

• Can I deploy the same virtual machine to VMWare Player running of several PCs without network problems

  Hi all

  I am a newbie so please forgive if this is a stupid question...

  Can I deploy the same virtual machine (XP Pro), with the same machine name and the same GUID for several machines on a network without going through issues such as errors of names duplicate etc. Or will I sysprep prior to deployment.  If so, is there an easier way to do it?

  Not sure if this is important, but I need to use Bridged networking due to problems with our personal firewall.

  You will need to deal with the dupe GUID. Sysprep is a method.

• To remove a CDROM to a virtual machine using vmware-cmd

  Hi all

  I add a CD-ROM to an engine off VM with the following vmware-cmd:

  VMware-cmd & lt; path to the VMX file & gt; lt & setconfig ide0:1.fileName; path to the file ISO & gt;

  How can I remove this CD-ROM, while the virtual machine is turned off? The 'disconnectdevice' command works only for virtual machines under tension.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you are already using java, what might be better to stick to the Toolbox for java.

  However, you can still use vimsh. In ESX 3.0, you can call vimsh - n - e-

• Failed to create virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 11 (test)

  Hello people,

  I installed VMWare Workstation on my machine Windows 10 and trying to create multiple virtual machines to test the object. I have done this before on the Windows 7 computer and did not face any problems, but this time, as soon as I gave the location of the file to deploy an operating system it comes up with some fatal errors as error BLK_CACHE IOERR if I have enough space on the HARD drive and everything is not going further. So, my question is if my computer has compatible with Windows 10 problems or there is something else that would cause this problem. Any help or comments would be appreciated on this topic.

  Thank you!.

  Thanks for your answer, Noel

  I was going through discussions in the community with similar and found subjects that VMWare had released 12 pro workstation that supports Windows 10 entirely. I personally installed it on my physical machine and it works. Here is the link for the release of Workstation 12 notes.

• Error playing the virtual machine in VMware Player

  Hi all

  I am getting error below while reading VM(UI VM.ova) UI in VMware Player. Everyone has also same error. Help, please.

  Thanks in advance,

  It is in fact no error, but the result of not being able to get the automatic (DHCP) IP settings. Please check which virtual bridged network (Host-Only, NAT) is configured for the virtual computer and check if the related DHCP service is running. Also make sure that NIC of the virtual computer is configured with "Connect to light". If no DHCP server is available, follow the instructions in the red part of the screen.
