• Impossible to uninstall VMware player 4.0.4 CentOS 6

  Hello

  I installed the latest version of VMware player 4.0.4 on CentOS 6.3 (2.6.32 - 279.2.1.el6.i686 #1 SMP Thu Jul 19 23:10:02 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

  and now I can't uninstall it.

  I used Installer .bundle since there is no RPM for VMware Player installer as there are for the workstation and other VMware products.

  rpm-e and yum erase fail to find a reference to vmware player on my system.

  You should be able to use the information of manual uninstall of VMware Workstation for Linux hosts (38) of the to do with VMware Player.

• Problems with VMware Player

  Can someone help me please?

  I have two questions, but here's the background. I run a virtual machine using VM Player with Enterprise Server 2008 x 64 as my OS and Windows 7 on the client system. The version of the player that I use is the 3.0.1 and am not able to upgrade to a newer version that the virtual machines created on the new version won't be compatible with the rest on 3.0.1.

  Question 1: I get the following error message:

  "Could not get the driver vmci version: the handle is invalid.".

  You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Player.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. »

  I uninstalled the software and reinstalled again, download the software from vmware download sit and still get the same error message. I also entered in the configuration of the .vm file and changed the settings vmciio:present from true to false. Should I do this?

  Question 2: Now the virtual machine is not recognizing the CDROM. I tried to use the real player allocated on the client system and also let the virtual machine automatically select, the two ways fail. I looked through other forums that show screen shots of how to fix this problem, unfortunately the screen with what I presented is different from that in demonstration.

  Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  I don't know, but what you can try is to:

  1st edition.) Can you confirm you changed the setting vmci0.present = 'false' with the virtual machine properly closed - not suspended - and VMware Player closed.

  2nd edition.) In settings of the virtual machine CD-ROM, click on the button "Advanced...". "and enable"Legacy Emulation"see if that helps.

  If the above does not help, please report (attached) file vmware.log of the virtual machine to a response message.

• VMware Player crashed only recover

  I'm running windows7 and have installed VMWare Player.   On that I have two virual machines installed, as well with Windows XP.   One broke down, and I was not able to recover.   The message displayed is:

  

  I tried to perform a recovery of windows and tried to boot from the XP CD, but none of these lead to any recovery.

  The second VM still works well.

  Separately, I tried to upgrade VMWare Player to the new 4.0.2 revision, but whenever he goes through the procedure and then instructs the time there was a software error and try again later.   I don't know if this is related to the foregoing.

  Is it possible to recover the original VM data and perhaps reinstalling VMWare player and associate it with the recovered data.

  Thank you for your comments.

  Hello and welcome
  update the VMplayer application does not help somehow.

  If you just want to retrieve this VM data follow these steps:

  -Open the VM work

  -Click on "change settings".
  -Click on 'add a hard disk '.
  -Click on 'use existing vmdk' and assign the vmdk virtual machine unbootable plu

  Start the virtual machine and your data should appear as D: or E:
  most likely, you will need to run a checkdisk with options like this
  Chkdsk/f/x/r d:

• I uninstalled flash player and impossible to reinstall

  I had problems reading of streaming videos and decided to uninstall and reinstall flash player. I am running XP SP3, so I used the Add/Remove programs and uninstalled. Now, I can not re - install. I passed on the adobe site (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) and chose to install the drive via Firefox, but it failed and proposed a manual installation. Clicking on this link puts me on the adobe site, but by selecting the download button sends me to a page of advertising for other adobe products and no download occurs. I ran Internet Explore to see if I could download the file and Firefox recognize, but while it shows 'Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX"in the list of installed programs, Firefox doesn't know any difference. Any suggestions?

  A virus does not appear to be the problem. I have not been able to install from the adobe web site, but I did a search for the executable flash player downloaded and executed directly. This approach was implemented to me. Thanks for the help.

  2. Extract archive
  3. Edit the file patch - modules_3.2.0.sh.  Look for the line plreqver=4.0.2 and to takeplreqver=4.0.3
  4. Save the file, and then run it.sudo ./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh

• You are not able to uninstall VMware Player

  Hello world.

  I had a drive problem after installing VMWare Player under Windows XP SP3.

  Automation of uninstall then was impossible, so I manually removed the folders, files, and registry (over 550!) keys.

  Now, every time I start an application or open a web page that Windows Installer starts and stops.

  Event Viewer records 3 events:

• 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:

• PlayBook Simulator beta (Win) v0.9.3 - cannot install in VMware Player

  Hello everyone. I am fairly new to this programming PlayBook and have to face a frustrating problem. I installed the earlier version and have been more or less successful in programming.

  However, with the new version, I am unable to install the Simulator in VMware Player. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed, etc. and continue to have the following in the on-screen display in the last step of the installation of the virtual machine.

  In the earlier version, the display shows - loading of the neutrinos... and proceeded to complete the installation.

  In this version the display shows - loading installer... .and poster cd/EULA.txt in the bottom of the first screen scrolling text. I can scroll up and down and display a lot of text but nothing continues or finishes the installation of the virtual machine.

  I would like suggestions.

  BTW, my system is Windows 7, 64-bit, 6 GB memory, 800 GB of disk space.

  Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

  It is (very) difficult.

  Do not press the "enter" or the arrow key down.

  You should stop to support anything at all times when only a few lines of text to the left.

  Then down one line at a time. Otherwise your entry extra will be interpreted as

  your answer to the question who is supposed to be 'y '.

  You will be successful after trying several times.

  Hello mmccurdy,

  Thank you for your message. But due to the fact that I use Ubuntu 15.04 in 32-bit version, it is not possible to install the bundle - x 64 drive.

  After searching a few other items, I found the solution now (you can find the entire instructions under http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1281

  First steps:

  cURL http://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/downloadhttp://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/download o /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

  CD/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

  tar - xf vmnet.tar

  patch - p0-i /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

  After changing driver.c and userif.c, it is necessary to change too NETIF. C in the vmnet-only folder as follows (see original under http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1184)

  all about line 152:
  dev = alloc_netdev (sizeof * netIf, deviceName, VNetNetIfSetup);
  to do this:
  dev = alloc_netdev (sizeof * netIf, deviceName, NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, VNetNetIfSetup);

  Complete the changes to the file are VMNET-ONLY. Now the final stages:

  MV vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.SAVED

  tar - cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

  RM - r vmnet-only

  VMware-modconfig - console - install-all

  then VMwarePlayer works very well.

  How to configure the network to use VMWare player for development while home/away (PCI offline without an internet connection)?

  Thanks again

  Other details

  My laptop runs Win7, I use Google Chrome, PuTTY, WinSCP client-side

  My hardware router has an IP address 192.168.0.1

  My VMware - Server Ubuntu - is configured to use the DHCP protocol

  Online I mean a wireless connection to the router and the internet

  Offline - I mean wireless internet connection/no

  Networking networking

  Works ok online. Does not work in offline mode

  When online, I get IP 192.168.0.7 ifconfig in vmware... I can ping the router from the virtual machine and ping the server ubuntu from the command-line to Win7

  Offline... Ping from VM to the router and Ping from Win7 to VM fail.

  NAT networking

  Does not work online or offline

  When 'online' I get IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in VMware, I can ping the router hardware virtual machine ok. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I Request Timed Out

  In offline mode, I get the same IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in the virtual machine. I can't ping the virtual machine hardware router... Destination Host Unreachable. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I have inaccessible Destination host

  Host-Only

  does not work for me either online of offline...

  While online, that is to say that I can get the IP... 192 168 110 128 but the virtual machine can't ping router... Network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Request Timed Out

  While offline, I get the same address IP 192 168 110 128, but VM is unable to ping router network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Destination Host Unreachable

  On the screenshot-VMnet1 as VMnet8 - have APIPA (assigned automatically free private) IP addresses, which should not be the case. Unfortunately I can't tell you what is the cause! Could be something of a facility fails to a VPN client. What you can do, is click on the 'Restore defaults' button in the editor of virtual network or re - install VMware Player (uninstall, reboot the host and reinstall "as Administrator").

  If you have access to the virtual network editor depends on the VMware Player version you are using. With some older versions - which had the "vmnetui.dll" in the installation folder - it was possible to start to operate:

  rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone

• 8.1 for Windows and VMware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776 "without Internet access.

  After updating my system Windows 8 Pro 8.1 two VMware (VMnet1 and VMnet8) network adapters are listed as 'Unidentified network, Public network' ' type of access: no access to Internet. I uninstalled VMware Player, reinstalled, and done a repair without change installation.  The result is when I run one of my Windows VMs they cannot connect to my network or host computer.  For example, in a Windows 7 VM "Network and sharing Center" the active network is displayed in the Public network and it is not stressed so I can't change it to private and enable sharing.

  I have also noticed that several articles about 8.1 and this kind of problem you suggest use modern PC Interface settings to change the network card for this problem, but which lists only map host of the PC, not the VMware adapters network. It of as if 8.1 does not recognize or even allow control of VMware cards - at least not when using the network settings of the modern graphical user interface.

  Halp!

  

  DOH!  Why didn't think of this?

  I had previously uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of VMware Player and yet still had the network problem. What fixed it was to re-run the installer of the player and select Repair. Who sets the network problem. Why didn't the new installed work? I guess he needs a couple of installs to do things.

• No options to create what anyone in vmware player 2.2.5

  Hey people

  Now, I have to admit that I don't think that vmware player allows you to make the new virtual machine, but after reading the user manual / google it seems it don't...

  Anyway, so I downloaded the latest version 2.2.5 for my win7 / 64-bit... When I open it I only have the option to open or remove it from the virtual machine. According to the manual, I should have a button file which will allow me to create virtual machines.

  I had a quick glance on google and I could see another person has had a similar problem and they just reinstalled again... I tried...

  The only thing that I can click on more 'open', 'Download' is the top vmware player. Console, devices and utility are grayed out if it means something?

  The main reason for me using vmware player is I use virtualbox and it does not support USB, I need... so initially I exported my Virtualbox VM for a. OVA file but when I load it in vmware player it just sits at the splash screen... After research it seems to be a common problem... so I'm happy to start over and create a new virtual machine in Vmware player... which brings me to the question of how I actually find the file button to do =)?

  I reinstalled / restarted as he asked... I don't encounter any errors during installation, so I don't know what I have to do?

  I don't want to install vmware workstation for reasons that we don't need to go into

  Any help would be great

  Thank you

  Version 2.2.5 is not the latest version... simply the most recent version of the 2.x branch.  You use a link to the old, obsolete, direct download page.  I brought to attention before VMware people but no response... I'll try again.
