Is it possible to prevent the VMware Tools to try to reach the update server?

I'm under 8.0 on a Win 7/64 host.  I usually install tools in a virtual machine that has no network connectivity.  When I start to install the tools, he's trying to connect to the update server to check if it is current.  Is it possible to have tools simply boot and install and not try to connect?  Thank you.

I don't have a VMware Workstation 8 running at the moment, but IIRC the update settings can be configured in Edit-> preferences.

  • PDM-files: is it possible to prevent the creation of files .tdms_index of LabVIEW and tiara?

    Hello

    is it possible to prevent the creation of .tdms_index files when opening/creating/editing of LabVIEW and tiara a .tdms file?

    I think that I have no advantage in the .tdms_index files, because our applications create many small .tdms-files (repeated measures). With .tdms_index files, we have unnecessary memory consumption and it takes longer for Windows Open the containing folder. Also it s confused when you search for a certain file.

    Best regards

    Hi Acer,

    I'm afraid there is a direct way to disable the creation of file .tdms_index now of LabVIEW and tiara. You can use the API Advacend TDMS in LabVIEW, which does not create an index file, or you can just do a simple programming and remove the .tdms_index file after closing the PDM file.

    This is a request for a long time, we will consider adding this feature for TDMS in future versions.

    My apologies if I seem ignorant and things must be explained clearly to me, but I am a Mac user on a Macbook Pro for the first time. Have installed Vmware Fusion, and am also running Windows XP. Whenever I have try and upgrade to the latest version of VMware fusion, I get an error saying "connection to the update server has been lost. How to fix this problem please? Subsequently I can't write any DVD on my Mac. Very frustrating.

    Please could someone help and advise what I can do?

    Suggest that you download the full version of VMware Fusion and then uninstall/reinstall it from the .dmg image file that you download.

  • Trigger to prevent the update

    I want to create the trigger that will prevent illegal updates, but for illegal data, I want to insert into another table. In order to avoid the update, I have to make an exception, but it will insert is rollback. I am aware of the autonomous transactions (put I insert a procedure which is autonomous transactions) but it seems to me like dirty way to solve the problem. Y at - it another way to prevent the update that does not throw exception. I am also against the update on the same values. Thank you!

    FilipFry wrote:
    I checked the book, so now I am on the departure, how preventing the update in the after trigger without triggering an exception?

    The only way to prevent a updated row in a trigger would throw an exception.
    You may, of course, update leave unchanged data simply by setting the new value for each column in the old value, i.e.

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER some_trigger
      BEFORE UPDATE ON some_table
      FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
      IF( some_condition )
      THEN
        :new.column1 := :old.column1;
        :new.column2 := :old.column2;
        ...
        :new.columnN := :old.columnN;
      END IF;
    END;
    

    This is far from ideal from the point of view redo generation and from a perspective of maintainability, but it would prevent the change of location data.

    Another trigger approach would be to create a view on the table, create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view and then publish your updates against the view. The INSTEAD OF trigger can determine to apply changes to the base table or not, whether to discard the changes or if you want to record changes in another table.

  • Download latest towers "connecting to the update server", will not download

    I tried to download the latest version of Firefox for the last 5 days on different internet connections. He turns and hangs on "connecting to the update server". The download will not be completed. Can you please help? Thank you.

    To install Firefox on a Mac, follow these steps:

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    If the download is interrupted, check the reasons for it: if it's a low slow connection, it would be wise to seek a faster point to connect.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Software update gets stuck to connect to the update server

    For a very long time (since Firefox 4 or more), I'm notified of updates, but when I say update I just get a window that says it has download firefox and it connects to the update server and it stays there forever. I left open for days and it never goes away. I've always had to go download a new copy of updated, but I really like to get the auto update work.

    I tried to delete history/cache/etc for ever. I deleted everything related to Mozilla AppData, I lose everything, but always the software update gets stuck. Of course, he's stuck something other than trying to connect to the update server. Any ideas?

  • "The update server is not responding"

    I am a member of creative cloud and I'm trying to update Photoshop to 13.1 but whenever I go to help > updates, Adobe Application Manager keeps giving me "the update server is not responding...". »

    I solved the problem. After countless times of updating of Windows 8, uninstalling and reinstalling, I found that my laptop Samsung came with software that would allow me to put a "Mobile Access Point" or in other words a hotspot.

    I followed the instructions on how to disable the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", but my computer does not display a Miniport Microsoft Virtual Mifi card.

    I knew that this adapter set a hotspot so what I did activate the 'Mobile Access Point"via the samsung software that came with my computer, and then as I expected, he showed the"Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter"and was able to turn it OFF.

    After you turn off, I could see updates without the server update Responing no error.

    Also, after having diabling the "Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter", I went to the Device Manager and the title of the network card, I found that "Microsoft Hosted network virtual card" has been disabled. So for those who don't see not the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport card" you must activate a hotspot first if it will appear or try to disable through Device Manager by disabling "Microsoft Hosted network virtual card"

    If this proves to be a problem with Adobe Application Manager and Microsoft Virtual Wifi adapter. I hope that Adobe will have a fix for this soon because the users of Windows 8 is not the "Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter" visible by default.

    I hope this helps someone!
