Installation of VMWare on Windows 8

Hello

I just updated my OS from windows 7 to windows 8, then all my virtual machines cannot start.

The message said: I have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '.

I tried to reinstall VMST, but installation is same stop. It just displays a blank window and nothing happens.

I also tried to uninstall and I met the same problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

you could disable vmci by editing all your vmx files

vmci0. Present = 'false '.

other than that, I think your best option is to re - install Windows.

Sorry - this isn't a joke

  • Installation of vmware tools windows server 2012

    I have to do something special to install vmware tools on a machine virtual windows server 2012, or just run d:\setup?

    Thank you.

    As long as it is the Fusion of 5 or above, just run the installation program.

    If Fusion 4, you may experience problems with the video driver that I don't see if Fusion 4 was never updated to officially support Windows 8 guests. In this case, however, if the only goal is to get something running, be sure to disable the video driver from the VMware Tools installation.

  • installation of vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 10 error

    After you install vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 10 it gets error and restart. Is vmware workstation 6.5 support windows 10? FAILED TO INSTALL. vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 8, 8.1 and 10 support. ALL SUPPORT. I still don't understand...

    VMware Workstation 6.x do not support Windows 10 and will never support Windows 10.

    VMware Workstation 6.x reached "end of support" four years, October 1, 2011: Matrix.pdf product lifecycle

    We produce updates for release until its date of "end of support".  A product may not work properly with host OSes, processors or comments OSes that are not compatible with the product, especially the things that have been published after the date of "end of support".  We put a huge amount of effort to ensure that new hardware and operating systems works with each new major release of VMware Workstation, but we cannot go back and update any previous version of product to add support for all hardware and operating systems more recent.  If we tried to do this, VMware Workstation cost much more that it is today, simply because of the amount of work required to maintain!

    You need to upgrade your installation of VMware Workstation to something more recent, or downgrade your host operating system to a version compatible with VMware Workstation 6.5.

    I hope this helps!

  • Selection of the method of Installation of VMWare Fusion 7

    So I take an edx online course: Introduction to computer CS50x. I am following the installation of VMware Fusion instructions found at the following link: https://manual.cs50.net/appliance/2014/fusion/

    I followed the instructions in step #4: I double click the icon of VMware Fusion. I clicked on 'Open' when prompted. I typed my administrative password. I accepted the license agreement. I inserted the license key. I am now in the window "select the installation method. But herein is the problem. I do not know what installation method to choose, and there are no instructions on it. My options are: (1) import of disk or image; (2) import existing PC; (3) install OS X from the recovery partition; (4) import a virtual machine existing; (5) installation of Boot Camp. and (6) create a custom virtual machine.  There are no instructions or advice to navigate through these options.

    Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    From what you have posted, it seems to me that the merger has been successfully installed. The dialog box "Select installation method" you see is Fusion trying to be helpful and you guide in the creation of your first virtual machine.

    At this stage of VMware Fusion and eject the mounted disk installation image (so that you do not open the installation program when you must open the copy installed on your disk). Continue to step 5 to download your virtual appliance of the format .ova.

  • Installation of VMware in VMware Player tools

    Hello

    I installed VMware Player v7, created a virtual machine (Windows) and wanted to install the VMware Tools via Player > manage > install VMware Tools... but nothing happens when I click on this option. The following 2 other methods I found in a Ko do not work either:

    • Enter D:\setup.exe where D: is the first CD-ROM drive configured for your virtual computer = > NOK as the virtual drive does not show the VMware tools.
    • Looking for the ISO file in the installation folder = > NOK: there is no ISO file.

    After searching on the forum, I realized that VMware Player doesn't come with VMware tools and workaround I used was to install VMware Workstation without a license on another computer, find the file "windows.iso", copy it to the computer, mount it as a virtual drive and start the client installation.

    The thing I don't understand is the reason for which the option is available in the VMware Player menu if the VMware tools are not? It's very confusing for people new to VMware and only install VMware Player...

    You need not download VMware workstation to get VMware Tools in VMware Player!  VMware Player 7 is working fine on my system and had no problem downloading VMware tools, so maybe it's a problem specific to your environment/system that may block recovery.

    Take a look at my answer: Re: VMware Tools missing in the Installation of VMware Player 7

  • VMware Tools missing in the Installation of VMware Player 7

    Hi all

    If I try to install/upgrade to update VMware Tools after the Installation of VMware Player 7 no ISO will be connected to the virtual machine.

    I checked the directory of Installation of VMware Player for the ISOs of the tools but no ISOs are there.

    Can you help me out of this Situation or is it a missing element in the installer?

    Thank you

    I just downloaded VMware-player - 7.0.0 - 2305329.exe and installed under Windows 7 x 64 and had no problems with it automatically detect installed VMware Tools to the guest operating system to be downloaded and successfully downloaded.  Having said that, have you tried? : Player > file > Preferences... > download now all components

    Maybe something is blocking you to download the VMware tools.

    You could also do it manually by using the following tools from VMware for VMware Player 7.0.0.

    Unzip the file, then run the executable result and it will silently install the file without any indication that he actually did like this isn't really so planned how to do even if it works!

  • 11i/R12 connection at the base of the machine during the Installation of VMWare host.

    Hello people,

    I installed 11i and R12 on VMWare. My host in Windows XP operating system.

    11i details-
    VMWare/Guest OS - Windows XP
    Version - 11.5.10.2

    R12 Details-
    VMWare/Guest OS - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3
    Version - 12.1.1

    Everything works fine on the VMWare OS application and database (sqlplus).

    The problem is that I am not able to connect to the data base (11i/R12) from the host machine. I am successfully able to run the application from the host machine after you put the entry in the file "hosts".

    To connect to the database, I have installed the Oracle 9i on the host machine client and put the entry in the TNSNAMES file. ORA generated by 11i/R12, but even in doing so I am not able to connect to the database.

    Is there a way I can connect to the database (installed on VMWARE) of the HOST Machine.

    I've seen a single installation on VMWARE, where we are able to connect to the database from the HOST machine.

    Hello Ingo

    Last days, we read more similar reports on the various problems after installing SP3. As far as I know that Toshiba has faced similar problems after SP2 release and updates were offered. The fact is that SP3 has a negative influence on the different drivers and Toshiba has designed tools and utilities.

    For now, Toshiba has not any update and we need to see what will happen in the future. I always use SP2 and do not have similar problems on my laptop satellite.

    Or you can live with it and wait for update or restore BONES on time earlier and remove SP3.
    I see no solution at the moment.

    When I push the button to activate the wireless, the led does not illuminate and the FN + F8 key said that the wireless is not enabled.

    I tried to uninstall VMPlayer, but the rest of the problem.

    You have an idea about the problem?

  • Installation problem w / 10 Windows on end 2015 27 "iMac retina

    I used boot camp and it installs windows 8.1 very well. When install updated to 10 from inside windows 8.1 windows or try a cleanup of 10 windows using boot camp, he gets at some point and I see a black screen and it does not go any further. Why Windows 8.1 installs fine, but not windows 10? I have the model with the hard disk of 1 TB in it.

    I have the same model as you, and I just spend the whole day trying to solve that, more than an hour on the phone with Apple support. Here's what I learned.

    Apple support agreed with me that the problem is most likely a bad display driver (AMD?) in the last set of drivers for Boot Camp. Unfortunately, Windows 10 compatibility for the end iMac to 2015 has been added only last month, so there would still be easily bugs in drivers. The result is that Windows is unable to turn on the display when the Boot Camp drivers are running, but cannot when the default system drivers are running. That's why we could still install Windows and boot to the desktop at the very first (until Boot Camp installed drivers).

    Support has also suggested that the new update of El Capitan 10.11.2 could contribute to the bug, but he was not sure about it.

    From my experience, the following will not solve the problem:

    • Reset the PRAM
    • Reinstalling Windows (bad drivers should I not get removed)
    • Using the Windows system restore
    • Install Parallels (you cannot yet touch the drivers)

    The only remaining thay of possible solutions have been discussed on the phone are:

    • Enter Windows 10 safe mode (very difficult, unless you hard reboot and reset the PRAM repeatedly) and uninstall the graphics card drivers or install the latest AMD drivers
    • Remove your Windows partition reinstall from scratch and refuse installing Boot Camp drivers when it comes to the top

    If you try one of these solutions, please let us know if it works.

    And if someone could tell me please how to guarantee to be able to boot in SafeMode Windows 10, it would be greatly appreciated. For the record, F8 and SHIFT + F8 are very likely to work.

  • Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

    Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

    I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

    Thank you Paul,.

    That solved my second problem and inspired me to look deeper for the response to my first problem. The answer lies in the tab 'distributed file","Installer properties' box 'create a program item:

    Wouldn't be nice if it is automatically checked by default for main sequence files? Wouldn't also nice if "Upgrade Code" was regenerated automatically by default whenever we have saved the file *.tsd under another name?

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    See you soon.
