• Use of VMware Player without head with vmrun?

  After you install the VMware Player 3.1.0 and VIX 1.9.0 on a Linux (Ubuntu 10.4) host, I try to start a virtual machine that can continue to operate even when the console application is not visible (headless mode), kind of like how VMware Server does things.

  I am able to do the following:

  vmrun t player beginning ~/vmware/server1/server1.vmx nogui

  It does exactly what I want, but as soon as I call "vmplayer" in order to access the console, I can't do a closed process without my VM vmplayer is either turned off or suspended - I would like to continue to run.

  I want a way to be:

  1. run an application of type console (vmware-server-console in VMware Server v1 (a) to establish a connection to the vmx process running my virtual machine; or,

  2. specify that when I "quit" vmplayer, the virtual machine must continue to operate (as if you could specify something like pref.vmplayer.exit.vmAction = "detach") in the preferences file.

  Any ideas?

  In fact, oops, I assumed that too. You can try setting the following in your preferences file:

  pref.vmplayer.exit.vmAction = 'disconnect '.

  who should have the same effect. I thought that was represented in the user interface, but I was wrong.

  I hope this helps!

• How to convert a Machine of VMWare ESXi 4.0 to run on VMWare Player

  Hi Experts

  I am new to VMWare and need help, we are running ESXi 4.0, I installed on our Windows Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2) the following:

  -VMWare vSphere Client 4.0

  -VMWare vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0

  -VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone

  We have currently x-2 VMS Machines on our server ESXi (ISSDBN01 & ISSSAP), ISSAP installing Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Editon and SAP, I now want to convert this Machine VM (ISSAP) so I can play on / via VMWare Player. My steps were as follows:

  -Turning off the machine that needs conversion

  -Make sure that I am on the parameters users & groups

  -Convert the Machine (ISSSAP) using VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone VM

  Once the conversion is complete it converts a 145 GB file (that is stored on an external hard drive and the machine has x 2 100 GB disks = disk C and data disc), I select the .vmx with VMWare Player (version 3.0.1.11056) file that I use on my laptop (running Windows Vista Business SP2, 4 GB of RAM), but it does not seem to boot up It keeps saying "Windows is loading files", I Googled it and came across someone adding the parameters of the resolution of the .vmx file.

  I'm not sure what to do now that I need to convert this machine as soon as possible, as I have to get a copy of this machine and test upgrades (because the server is going to be broken and most of the parts used for our hosted server); can anyone help me on what steps I must take to ensure that I convert it properly so I can play this machine converted by VMWare Player.

  Thank you very much for any help, much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Kurt Walters

  Hello Kurt.

  I just have a question about my machine converted, is there a best practice or a better way to convert a VM Machine.

  It is really not a good practice. The most important part of the conversion is the correct selection of the controller (as you did) and disk size/commissioning type. The other settings depend on what you want to achieve. After conversion, review the settings of the virtual machine to ensure that everything is as it should be for example (guest operating system, controller, network,...)

  You can also download the latest version of VMware Converter 4.3 which is supported for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

  Thank you very much for your help is was extremely useful and appreciated.

  You are welcome. If you believe it, feel free to use the 'proper' or 'Useful' buttons

  Jeremy

  User French

  Hello, my saver

  Currently, I have an Esxi, but before I used a picture of WMware player to my virtual server and I know, I use Vsphere to work with my 5.1 ESsxi, I just want to know if I can use my VMware Player image in VSphere for Esxi? and if the answer is Yes, how?

  Thanks for your help.

  Right, so use VMware converter to do this as indicated in my previous post.

• Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

  We have an environment consisting of ESX:

  • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

  • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

  I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

  We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

  1. Is this feasible?

  2. I had user Converter?

  3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

  Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

  I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

  This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

  If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

  Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.

• Allows users not able to connect to the server through Vmware Player Flex

  Hi all

  I created a Horizon Vmware server with Flex. Created Windows Image and saved the VM in the Flex web console. The configured policy and gives the right to some windows domain users to use this Image.

  I created a group called "Mirageadmin" and added two users in this group. Mirageadmin belongs to a group of Administrators local and also added to the Administrators group in the console of Mirage . These two users can connexiona Horizon flex web console.

  My problem is that when the user right connect to the server through Vmware Player Flex, its list of username or password is incorrect, please try again. But the user name and password is correct. Later one of the user added to the Mirgaeadmin group policy gives right I. While this user can connect to Flex server via Vmware Player.

  
  

  1 should. users entitled be part of the local administrator group of the Flex server?

  2. do I need to add these users right somewhere in the console of mirage?
  

  Thanks for supporting.

  Hi all

  Turn history on security locally should be set in the server included users who try to connect via Vmware Player.

  Our GPO has been tighten to allow only to administrators and users authenticated to allow log on locally. Adds a new GPO to enable a group of users to log on locally, which solve the problem.

• How to run windows 7 x 64 vmware player in servers virtualized under esxi5.5

  I have a server I want to virtualize.  A run P2V and converted.

  There is a vmware player windows 7 which does not work on the server because it is said that long Mode is not taken in charge.

  On the host: esxcfg-info responds with "3 - VT/AMD-V indicates that VT or AMD - V turned on in the BIOS and can be used '. '"

  Under the settings for the virtual machine (2008R2) cpu "expose guest operating system virtualization assisted material" is grayed out.

  Is it possible to run this configuration?

  Thank you

  Ken

  I'm sorry.  I should have raised my X 7350 earlier.  The X 7350 does not support the EFA and is therefore not able to support VT-x/EPT virtualized.  You need at least a class of Nehalem system.  In addition, your host looks like it is in a cluster based VCA Merom.  If the host is in an EVC cluster, the EVC cluster must be at least a basic line of Nehalem for virtualized VT-x/EPT support.

• VMWare Player installation and Installation of the software in the virtual disk

  Hi people,

  I installed VMWare game in the free Version. I want to use the virtual disk for a Windows XP operating system. I have the following question for my main system (8.1 Windows 64 bit system stand-alone system).

  1.

  I installed a Windows XP 64-bit with SP 2 system. In this virtual disk, I installed a software that needs several software components. I managed to install all the components, but one. This component is WindowsInstaller-KB893803-package x 86 lot. If Intry to install the following error notice appears: "Ce KB893803v2 is for a different hardware platform." How can I make this software to obtain the virtual hardware information (i.e. not information of the current build-in components for Windows 8.1).

  2.

  While I did all the settings in Windows XP SP2 in the virtual disk on 'German' keyboard assignment is American. How can I change this?

  3.

  I have a 64-bit Windows 8.1 system on my computer (I think it said 'Host system'). Can I install a Windows XP 32-bit system in the Ramdisk anyway?

  Please answer in detail. I thank in advance for your answers.

  Kind regards. Mainze

  
  

  Don't worry too much on the OS host and/or physical hardware like handles of VMware Player, which is required to run Supportepar OSes as guests, for the most part, a layer of virtualized hardware.  Windows XP 32-bit should work fine in VMware Player on your 64-bit Windows 8.1 host.

• With the help of Fusion Pro license to activate Win7 installation of VMWare Player

  According to http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion-professional/compare.html, Fusion Pro includes a license for the use of VMWare Player Plus. However, when you try to activate the Player Plus (reader-> help-> enter license key...) and enter the key, nothing happens. (The warning at the bottom of the screen that my evaluation license will expire in N days persists). Any help thrown my way is appreciated.

  Best,

  Adam

  I think this might be the post: trial license expired blocks of VMWare Workstation without drive

  I did an uninstall of the program and then started across the registry of rooting for any instance of vmware (Ctrl-F) and he nuking (not for the faint of heart).

  I think that what he did was to find the license key, who lives under a key 'VMWare, Inc.' (there are several of them) (note that it was not under the path mentioned in the thread above).

  I also cleaned up C:\ProgramData\VMWare, which contained the cruft of various other software products VMware I had been assessed, but had uninstalled.

  Thanks for the help,

• VMware Player configuration dialog box is VIRGIN on install or uninstall

  I spent 2-3 hours combing through discussion forums, and I can't find a solution. I also noticed that it is a very common problem and good solutions do not actually apply to the problem. Hey tend to be generic fixes or patches for other versions of Windows (which may work) or other software (which do not seem to work at all). So if you please (please) don't refer to solutions aimed specifically at the question. On the other hand, it please add real corrections that actually worked so that the next poor slob who has this error will find useful info all in one place. Thank you :-)

  Host computer: Windows XP Pro (32 bit)

  Already installed VMware Player 3. something and it worked well.

  I remember the same error when I install 1-2 years ago, but I don't remember the fix I used.

  I downloaded, verified and then ran the latest Player (VMware-player - 5.0.2 - 1031769)

  I received a 'VMware Player Setup' empty dialog box.

  I waited for 5-10 minutes and with nothing happening, I made an "end task".

  I restarted the computer and tried again. The same problem.

  I searched an answer here and realized that I had to uninstall first the player 3. xxx.

  Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs-> VMware Player-> uninstall = the same problem (empty dialog box)

  I checked the error log error is: ERROR * CHtmlDialog::CallJScript: failed to get the required jscript ID required; COM error :-2147352570

  I ran the VMware_Install_Cleaner.exe, the content of the deleted, temp folder restarted, and I tried uhninstall-> same problem

  I tried the fix here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027986

  1. Open a command prompt. For more information, see opening of a command or shell prompt (1003892).
  2. Run these commands to reregister the files needed and details:
     • If VMware Workstation is installed on a 32-bit version of Windows:
       • regsvr32 jscript.dll
       • regsvr32 vbscript.dll

  I received a message that both were successful. I have Windows restrted (reloaded), cleaned from the temporary folder, tried to uninstall-> same problem

  I stopped my AV software and tried to uninstall again-> same problem

  I deleted the contents of the temp folder and tried to uninstall again-> same problem

  I cleaned the registry, rebooted and tried the new uninstall > same problem

  I tried to install without uninstalling. I tried various suggestions, including decompression of the file in a folder (vmplayer) on the root of C: and the manual installation using the x 86 msi file. This method failed due to several errors.

  Then...

  (1) how to uninstall version of xxx 3. Player and clean while I have a no clean, vmware player system?

  (2) how to install the Reader 5. XXX without this error dialog box empty.

  Thank you.

  I have a solution!

  I deleted all the files associated with VMware Player. In my user files and all (Public) users. Then I deleted all the temporary files used by vmware player.

  I ran the installer for vmware player 3.14 (the original installation) and chose 'uninstall '. He crossed uninstall it without any problem or error. After that, he asked to restart the computer I did.

  Then I ran the installer for the 5.02 and installed without problem or error. He never asked to restart the computer.

  The only thing I noticed was that when I ran VMware Player it took a long time to start (maybe 2-3 minutes). So, I did a reboot and then it was all right, to leave quickly and loading of a virtual machine as fast as before.

• A license for VMWare Player?

  I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

  No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

  so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

  With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

  is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

• How do you install Browser v10.0 Appliance in VMware Player?

  Hello

  I need advice/help please,

  I try to install the Browser Appliance v10.0 in VMware Player without success despite trying countless hours over the past five days, this software is certainly not newbie friendly :)

  .

  I can't find the button 'Browse dialog for the configuration of the virtual machine' which is part of the instructions below

  I tried many different ways to try to install it in VMware Player during the last five days, but nothing seems to work, I installed Ubuntu in VMware Player and then tried to find a way to install the device browser in Ubuntu, but nothing works.

  Here are the instructions I received with Browser Appliance v10.0 I downloaded on my pc that are outdated maybe?...

  8 or 9 if it does not work

  a double-click on this file should do the trick

• The VMware Player window size cannot be changed at the start

  Hello

  I use a VMware Player Version 3.0.1 build 227600 on a Vista Ultimate SP1.

  My problem: the player has a fixed size of windows at startup - and this size is too small (approx. 687 x 585 pixels see attached screentshots). There is no possibiltity to change the size of the window (using the mouse) and no way to maximize either. How can I solve that?

  you put a higher resolution DPI, then 100%

  Don't do that...

• Distribution of VMware Player

  How can I get information about how to distribute VMware Player?

  On the page http://www.VMware.com/products/player/FAQs.html I read that " VMware Player is free for personal and non-commercial use." VMware Player is only distributable with written permission from VMware. Apply here to request a distribution agreement. ».

  How can I get additional information about the procedure (and the costs, if any) to a distribution contract?

  Thank you for your message.

  First of all, I hope that you can get a touch of the player_distribution team.

  So far, I was unable to get in touch with that whatsoever on this matter.

  Be patient, I am confident that you will get a response.

  To be honest, I was not aware of the existence of the team of player_distribution and yours it the first reference I see: is it possible to get in touch with them? They have an e-mail address, a request for information page or something like?

  Again, if you have filled out the contact form, then I am confident will contact you. As for an e-mail address, I had a response to an email are [email protected] .

  I'm still waiting for a response to the message I sent from the reader page, weeks and weeks... Furthermore, if I can't get information about the procedure of distribution before you enter data into the form I would have to consider a different technology.

  Again, please be patient, I think you're going to get a contact. Also know that I share your frustration regarding the difficulty of using the drive with a project you want to deploy and/or share with others. I do not understand the agreement of long duration for a free download tool. And I believe that the proliferation of the player help only VMWare. I'm just a petition for a simpler model for people like me and maybe you.

  Concerning

  Mario

  I hope that people of VMWare will consider the dialogue on this issue and respond.
