How to install VM Workstation v7.1.1 as pure 64-bit 32-bit HOST HOST

Hello all-

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  I've been using VM Workstation since v3 and still use it today.  My host is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with 4 GB memory and 2 TB of storage.  I also have two video cards.  I run VM Workstation 7.1.1 with no problems but noted that it continues to be installed in the Program Files (x 86) directory my HOST whenever I applied updates, etc..  I always had the impression that this folder, Program Files (x 86) in Windows 7 64-bit is used to install 32-bit applications.  VM Workstation v7.1.1 is supposed to be good for the 32-bit and 64-bit HOSTS.  My Question: How to install VM Workstation v7.1.1 as application HOST 64-bit on my machine?  I think that it is running as a 32-bit application, and I would have run as a 64-bit application.  You can provide any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Documentation of the user don't give not any what resolution to this issue.  It does not address the installation on the HOST computer, and how to specify an installation pure 64 bit.  An additional side note: My GUEST machines all work in 64-bit with no problems of any kind.  I am running Windows 7, Linux RH Enterprise, Centos 5.3 and Fedora 13.  All are in 64-bit mode and ideal.  VM Workstation is an excellent product!

Again, thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question.

Workstation for Windows 64 is a hybrid or however you would call it.

MISTLETOE is a 32-bit application while the engine that actually will the VMs is 64-bit.

That's why find you it in the default path of the 32-bit application.

Check with the Task Manager when a virtual machine works - you'll see vmware.exe 32bits or vmplayer.exe. These two give you MISTLETOE.

And you will see a vmware - vmx.exe 64-bit who is the applicatiojn who is actually going to virtual machines.

This means that you don't need to change anything. Mission is already accomplished.

  • How to install my HP OfficeJet G85 with Windows 7 (64-bit) and a parallel cable?

    I have a PC that has Windows XP (sp-3), the HP OfficeJet G85, all works well with a parallel cable of the G85 to the computer.  I got the updated operating system upgraded to Windows 7 (64-bit).  Put everything back with my parallel cable, I installed the G85 on the computer and tried to print a page.  Nothing.  So far, help did not help and I'm getting nowhere.  Someone knows how to fix this?

    I'm not sure if Win7 will come back to the parallel cable. Is there a reason any your using the parallel cable instead of USB? This printer driver is included in Windows 7, but AFAIK you must use a USB cable. Here are the instructions on how to install Win7 with a USB cable: the driver for your product is included in the Windows 7 operating system

    Good luck!

    You want to install VMware Workstation 11.1.1 on new 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit PC.

    I had VMware Workstation 11.1.0, and deleted the original installer but did not finish the installation of the new version

    The installer gets about 2/3 way (progress bar) and then crashes, Windows Installer says Event Viewer hung.

    Race tried without firewall and AV, always not install question

    A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)

    Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens

    I'm really at a loss as to why I can't install VMware Workstation 11.1.1, all the other soft\ware settles very well.

    Please could someone help me?

    Thank you

    When I installed Workstation 6.5.2 on 64-bit Vista, it installs in a directory named C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation tell me that he installed a 32-bit version.

    Y at - it a x 64 version of Workstation or is it only a 32-bit version of the workstation?

    I want to assure you that I am not missing out on something

    Thank you

    you are right, the installation is 32 and 64, but is 32.  By activating the VT in the BIOS, you will be able to run the x 64 guests.

  • How to install PES 10 and end upward with the 64-bit version?

    I just installed 10 PSE on my Win 7 64 bit system.  Reading these forums, I understand that the disc 2 of the 3 disc set contains the 64-bit version.  But aid installation referenced (and the disc itself labelling) clearly says 'start with disk 1' in both cases.  So I did this, expecting at some point to be invited to switch to disk 2.  But I've never been.  The default installation location is Program Files (x 86), I belatedly realize is the wrong file.  So I guess I have to uninstall and reinstall.

    But what is the right way to get the 64 bit version?  Manually change the installation Program Files x 86 w/o location?  Launch disk 2 anyway, despite what says Adobe?  I haven't yet started 10 PSE... is better to uninstall it now, or start 10 PSE and ensure that the new catalogue etc gets put in place?

    (I have a similar ad more in the forum download and installation, but find that I get a lot more quick answers here.)

    PSE10 is not a 64 bit application, only PE10 (Premiere Elements), I think. If your installation is correct. I'm sure that you will get more specific answers by more knowledgeable people...

  • How to install NVIDIA video drivers in a free WIN 7 VM on the VM workstation installation

    How to install NVIDIA video drivers in free installation of WIN 7 VM on the VM workstation?  When I try to run the driver installation package I get an error there is no hardware supported, even if the video card is installed and works in the reception of WINNING 10.

    Thank you

    V/R

    NVidia drivers must be installed only when using NVidia devices.
    You do not have in your virtual hardware NVidia machine - that's why he settled on your host computer, but not inside your virtual machine.
    Inside a virtual machine, you have a Videocard VMware - so you must install VMware-drivers.
    Appropriate within a virtual machine drivers will be installed if you install the "vmware-tools".

  • How to install workstation on ubuntu platform

    How to install workstation on ubuntu platform?

    When I download the packge, the packge is 'VMware-Workstation-Full - 9.0.2 - 1031769.i386.txt.

    How do I install it on ubuntu system?

    packge installition of Ubuntu is "xxx.deb", so I don't know how to install it. "

    Someone at - it install on ubuntu?

    Pls tell about your experience.

    Thank you.

    Once you have downloaded the correct file as WoodyZ said VMware-Workstation-Full - 9.0.2 - 1031769.i386.bundle be sure to

    run $chmod + x VMware-Workstation-Full - 9.0.2 - 1031769.i386.bundle to make the binary executable.  Then you can run

    $sudo. / VMware-Workstation-Full - 9.0.2 - 1031769.i386.bundle

    You can try to move the .txt file to a .bundle file but I would not advise at least maybe the md5sum was identical to the published version. But you should checksum download anyway so why take that chance?

  • How to install 64-bit vmware workstation 9 on a win 7 64-bit operating system

    I am trying to load the 64-bit version of the workstation 9 on a 64-bit windows system 7.

    I down loaded the bundle (VMware-workstation-full-version 9.0.0 - 812388.exe) that has the 64-bit and 32-bit.  When I run the Setup, it puts

    C:\Programs(x86 folder) that I am under the impression is for 32-bit applications.

    I have two questions

    (1) how to determine which version of workstation (64 or 32) I loaded?

    (2) if it is 32, how a force installing 64-bit?

    VMware Workstation is the two 32-bit 64 bit.  On 64-bit host, it uses a 64-bit vmware-vmx with it process the lats and the Virtual Machine itself, but the front-end GUI is 32-bit.
