Install VMware Player 3.1 in the SysV-no Linux based system.

Hello, I'm using Arch Linux here and the previous version worked fine with a few things in the Installer (such as he asked for the system service levels and service of the system scripts).

The new installer application only service system scripts (where I specified /etc/rc.d), and when the installation ends a dialog box with the following text appears:

"No directory rc*.d style init script were only given the installer. You must manually add the necessary links to ensure that the vmware to /etc/rc.d/vmware service is automatically started and stopped on the start and stop. »

The problem is that there is no vmware script to load the modules in this directory, or the modules are built.

With the installers (v3) previous I wrote this guide that explains how to install it, but it is no longer valid.

Thank you very much for your time, best regards,

James.

Hello

mayonnaise "dirty workaround: first make sure you have no VMware installed on your computer, and then install VMware Player 3.0.1 according the instructions of jrmoore." Now your file /etc/rc.d/vmware anywhere on your backup disk, uninstall VMware and install 3.1 player. When the installer has grumped about the missing frame output SysV init the and copy the vmware file previously saved in etc/init.d/.

Start VMware as root to compile the modules, out, run as a regular user and good luck.

Edit: and of course delete the superfluous with all its contents /etc/rc.d directory (except that you have something in there).

  • Cannot install VMWare Player, workstation or anything like that

    All appear to be the same way with a message like:

    VMWare.png

    However I've checked that the file exists and that I can access. What is the problem?

    I had VMWare Player 6.0.5 and could not install/update VMWare tools. So, I suspended my operating system prompted and rebooted VMPlayer. He told me that there is a new VMWare Workstation something 10.x and I wanted to upgrade to it. Okay, of course. Downloaded the update and tried to install. Said to uninstall VMWare Player 6.0.5. Being suspicious, I went and downloaded VMWPlayer 6.0.5 where he screwed up the installation of Workstation 10.0. Of course, he did. So I tried to install Player 6.0.5 so I could return to my suspended VM. In my opinion, what he said that I could not install because I haven't restarted. So I rebooted. Now, I can't install Player 6.0.5 or Workstation 10.0.0 or whatever it is. They all fail on the same way saying the cannot find a .msi file I can find and access.

    Help!

    BTW, you guys have far too much product and names making it confusing. What should I use? Player? Workstation? Spear? vCenter, Fusion. The list goes on and. Do not try to give me the list of "well it's for this reason and this other thing". The point is there are too many products and it is too complicated. If you want to tell me what the structure of the product is just limit it to the product I should use. I have a Windows 7 box and you want to run Ubuntu in a VM desktop - that's all...

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Please note that this is a forum for peer support and therefore, it is mainly users of VMware help other VMware users who make up the bulk of this forum. It is VMware employees responding in time in time, but in your case here (Note: VMware employees are recognizable because they have a small 'vm' next to their name logo)

    With regard to your current number. If you install VMware Workstation, then you have also installed VMware Player next.

    Even after the expiry of VMware Workstation, you can continue to use the free VMware Player.

    Hope this helps,

  • Cannot install VMware Player 6.0.2 when username contains apostrophe

    I tried to install VMware Player 6.0.2 in a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit o/s.

    I kept getting "Error in Script" (see image below).

    After some research, I found the cause of the problem.  This is because the user name contains an apostrophe.  In some countries, it is normal to have an apostrophe in the name, such as Joan of arc.  For the problem of confidentiality, I don't mention the true name in my case, so let's say it's Joan of arc.  In this problem, the path to "index.htm" is

    C:\users\Jeanne d'Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_xxxxxxx\index.htm

    Then I created another user name "Joan of Arc".  I used this new account to run Setup again and I didn't have the 'Script error '.  It is so clear to me that the apostrophe in user name (and therefore in the path of the file) has been the cause of the problem.

    Clipboard01.png

    I suspect that this problem can also occur for the installation of VMware Workstation.

    As a result of my post:

    This problem happens

    • VMware Player 6 and 7
    • VMware Workstation 10 and 11

    But it is FIXED in

    • VMware (Workstation) 12 player

    The questions is most likely the character in the temporary path to your username.  Change your folder environment variable a short path (for example, C:\Temp) without special characters, and then try again.

  • Problem installing VMware Player

    I wanted to install VMware Player for some time, but whenever I tried to install it on my computer, I found a bug in the installation script.

    Immediately after you click 'Next' on the "Installation of VMware Player" screen, I get a "script error":

    > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

    An error has occurred in the script on this page.

    Line: 871

    > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

    After this error message, the installation hangs at this point.

    I use it on a Windows 7 desktop machine.

    Have experience you this problem?  What are my options for installation?

    I appreciate any help you can lend.

    Do yourself a huge favor and change the MS beast by default folder %TEMP%.  Remove the user folder-specific and TMP % environment variables so just leave the system those - who are the shortest paths and don't contain strange characters, which will often screw up installers.

    Hey Andy, the problem is that the .bundle file you have downloaded is not an ISO image. It's a self-extracting shell script, such as nVidia uses. You don't get her everything first. You just need to run it as sudo. So, (and I think it has instructions for how to do this in the place you downloaded the script .bundle?) just type "sudo sh./VMware-Player...bundle" (with the good name of file here) and who should run the shell script with sudo (elevated to the root) privileges. Please post again on this as to whether it solves your problem or not. HTH!

    The solution that I found when I tried to reinstall Vmware on Windows 7 operating system was to

    1.) erase all files from the disk Local Windows (c) / x 86/Vmware programs

    2.) erase all disk Local Windows (c) VMware files / Windows/System 32 / Config and drive Local (c) / Windows / System 32/drivers

    (3.) to remove all the temporary files on your computer.

    (4.) after download the Free Windows Registry Repair. Link for this program is below.

    {---> http://download.cnet.com/Free-Window-Registry-Repair/3000-2086_4-10606555.html<-------->

    (5.) once the program is installed run the registry repair.

    6.) when you see the list of registry, errors, go to one of the lines and right-click on it.

    (7.) to go to the registry editor.

    8.) from there, you'll have to watch although each file and see the description of the file to see if it belongs to the company of Vmware. (These files will have an indicator, for example, VMbooter and so - forth.) Make sure you get VM in the name of the file).

    9.) after that you have all the files that have been deleted from your hard drive, run a Disk Defrag and clean disk just for the performance of your.

    (10.) you want to go to VMware web site to download the version of vmware you previously as 3.0.1 4.0.1 and so on. This will be the MSI file you need that is corrupted

    * While the program is reinstall, you will notice the prompt will ask you if you want to uninstall your current version of VMware. You'll notice that's nothing in the description. (Do the cleared off the coast of files and a core hidden in the program) *.

    11.) as soon as the old MSI download file. Install the newest MSI file (currently VMware Player 5.0.1) and you should see no complications so every step meticulously were complete.

    the .bundle is setup for Linux.

    Whenever the screensaver of my host comes into action, vmware player 4 stops of that spans (or bike vmware talk) monitors.  It wasn't a problem with v3.x.   I have many windows open that spans both monitors.  Whenever the screen saver comes that I have to replace all my windows/programs because they all have default to the main screen when the screen saver is used.

    Thanks for the bug report. What happens is that when the host goes to the screen saver, the entrance is ungrabbed virtual machine.  Any time you ungrab in the player, it also leaves the mode full-screen.

    you don't need Java to install vmplayer - I assume that you are using an over-eager Antivirus or Desktop firewall - disable these types of tools during the installation - and make sure that you have not named fixcamera.exe process running
