Is it possible to use 'open with'.vmx vmplayer?

Previous versions of allowed workstation files .vmx associate with vmplayer and workstation. This was very useful when used in conjunction with vmrun because it allowed batch files be set up with different race/priority settings which was then opened in vmplayer. I seem to be unable to open a .vmx with anything other than the workstation, or y at - it a new setting that must be disabled to allow the normal Windows file of binding settings to use?

I even tried to change the registry settings, but nothing helps, it seems to be the desktop or anything! It is a great shame that I actually prefer running guests in their own windows, because it gives much more flexibility than does the workstation Launcher. WindowS still fighting window - just that Microsoft, Ubuntu and Gnome would listen I wish!

If this installation has been disabled, perhaps someone could explain why it is necessary, the loss of functionality without reason is a BIG turnoff!

Post edited by: EdP OK I found a hack partial writing a vmplayer batch file.  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware" "C:\Users\Ed\Vista Ultimate.vmx", however, without some more play I do not know if she has the same flexibility to define run etc.-level priorities, certainly will not have the possibility of suspending before saving etc.

Unfortunately only (AFAIK) the batch START command allows you to set priorities and to BEGIN only launches the associated program (Workstation). Using a simple batch file is very limited compared to the previous options.

This is caused by bugs in the installation program.  You can get around with a bit of editing the registry.

There are two values that you must exchange, the default values of these keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\vmplayer.exe\shell\open

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\vmplayer.exe\shell\open\command

Then add a key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vmx\OpenWithList\vmplayer.exe

    As they don't understand the area of cropping and Bleedbox parameters so far that they are, in my opinion, useless in regards to printing.

  • Is it possible to use Dreamweaver with WordPress (has the classes by Joseph Lowery) only uses a test server AWS and not an environment local localhost?

    Is it possible to use Dreamweaver with WordPress (has the classes by Joseph Lowery) only uses a test server AWS and not an environment local localhost?

    Yes, I want to talk and EC2 instance and I am able to do Dreamweaver to easily connect using SFTP which I believe is a SSH protocol. See the image below. This method works.

    I currently have a test instance and will finally have an instance of production when the site is finished.

    Local environment is not installed on my workstation and my thought was that put it on the server would allow transparent operation including scripts on the server side. The testing station is not public.

  • Possible to use labview with daq system not of NOR?

    Hello

    I have a daq system and the software from another company that NEITHER. But I want some changes in the software. If the opportunity was to make a new program with Labview.

    Is it possible to use the old system of data acquisition? Is this compatible with Labview? Or I have to buy new hardware?

    Thank you.

    Hi VIassaks,

    Good afternoon and I hope that your well today.

    Thanks for the post.

    LabVIEW can communicate with 3rd party hardware using the library function call is located in the tip under the functions Palette palette. If your equipment is equipped with a DLL at the driver level LabVIEW can communicate with the hardware. However, you must obtain documentation of the DLL so that you can create your own interface for the material of the part 3.

    Another option would be if the hardware manufacturer provided LabVIEW VIs that control their material. You will not be able to use the screws (National Instruments Data Acquisition DAQ) because these screws use the DLL OR-DAQ, which is our software at the level of the driver for our DAQ cards. Other companies use their own software to the driver level to control their own material. Only the National Instruments hardware uses the NOR-DAQ driver that allows you to use LabVIEW DAQ screws.

    Hope this helps,

  • Possible to use KVM with VM?

    You can use a KVM to connect to virtual machines hosted on a hypervisor like ESX?  Ask weird I know, but the people I work with do not use VI client software.

    Any comments, you can send my way is welcomed.

    Hello

    KVM trying to attach to PS/2 or USB ports on the back of the armed forces. Unfortunately, those who really exist not for the VMS is not possible to use a KVM for it.

    The best solution is to implement a thin client that speaks RDP/VNC to VMS, you really don't want to give everyone access to the vSphere Client only administrators.

  • Is it possible to use Lightroom with several computers that are not networked?

    I'm new to Lightroom, even though I am a professional photographer for over 15 years. Currently, I use the software that came with my camera to process my RAW files, Professional Digital Canon's Pro for a 5 d Mark II.

    I've been evaluating the lasest version of Lightroom to consider buying it. So far, I like the capacity expanded to setting the image and improvements. However, in my current workflow, I need to be able to save the settings to be able to transfer the files to another computer. Is this possible with Lightroom? With Digital Pro, I can edit a RAW file and it will save the adjustments any computer, I opened the image file on. I have to be able to replicate this process in order to convey to our production department how I want an adjusted and cropped image.

    I downloaded the version track on two computers, then the images imported into Lightroom. Adjustments made, then copied the images to a flash drive. Images downloaded from the flash drive to my computer laptop, then re-imported the images in Lightroom and adjustments were not saved.

    Thanks for any help.

    After some research, my answer lies in the XMP file. Whenever I make changes to the image, I can save my settings by creating an XMP (CTRL S) file. He rewrote it in the original image folder so when I burn the file by hand to my production team, the xmp files parleyed my settings of the image. In turn, they can make adjustments and send them to me, if necessary. Just took some time to find the information, because even if I am kicking of tires on LR4, it was a video LR1 who gave me the information.

  • is it possible to use camera with 8 Business N windows app?

    I installed windows 8 company N in my laptop. Later, when I tried to use the camera on my laptop I couldn't find the option on the splash screen. So I installed in the store. But he told me that the app can not be used with this version of windows. When I checked the features of the operating system, I found that device photo, music and video apps are not in the company in default. What should I do now?
