Is there a binary 64 bit VMware Workstation v6.5.1?

I know that VMware v6.5.1 supports 64-bit operating systems, but VMware itself has a 64-bit binary or 32-bit only?

Also, it works very well under Vista x 64?

Yes, VMware Workstation 6.5.1 runs great on Vista x 64 SP1.

On Vista x 64 host, VMware Workstation GUI application is 32-bit, but if you start a virtual machine, you will notice that the process vmware - vmx.exe is 64-bit.

    I am trying to load the 64-bit version of the workstation 9 on a 64-bit windows system 7.

    I down loaded the bundle (VMware-workstation-full-version 9.0.0 - 812388.exe) that has the 64-bit and 32-bit.  When I run the Setup, it puts

    I have two questions

    (2) if it is 32, how a force installing 64-bit?

    VMware Workstation is the two 32-bit 64 bit.  On 64-bit host, it uses a 64-bit vmware-vmx with it process the lats and the Virtual Machine itself, but the front-end GUI is 32-bit.

  • Workstation 8 vmware-workstation-server works not not on Ubuntu 11.10

    Hi people:

    Just, I have upgraded my Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.10 and replaced VMWare Server 2.0 with Workstation 8.02.  It seems that the vmware-workstation-server service is not running.  I'm unable to connect from a web page and the application vmware itself is not able to connect.  When I try to activate the dialog application vmware service I get the following messages in the terminal window where I ran vmware:

    If I believe that the service is running, but not doing anything, even though I do not see a specific process for this and there seems to be a vmware-workstation-server executable in/usr/bin.

    Not very well where to go from here.   I tried to uninstall and reinstall the workstation and even using a different port number for the Desktop server, but without any result.

    Suggestions welcome.

    Are you running other services on port 443 on this host?

  • VMWare Workstation and Windows 7 64 bit

    Someone had problems with VMWare Workstation running Windows 7 64 bit? My computer hangs when creating the virtual machine guests. I also have VirtualBox running very stable with Windows 7.

  • Windows 7 64 bit host works very slowly after discontinuation of VMWare Workstation

    I am running 64 bit Windows 7 on a Dell laptop with an i7, 6 GB ram and VMWare Workstation 9 processor. Everything works well on the host and the VM, while the virtual machine is powered on but after the suspension of the virtual machine and station work out of the system host becomes very slow and applications become desensitized. This lasts for several minutes after the stoppage of work. In general, I have executed only a VM at a time, but even when I got a couple of them run both the host system and they are very sensitive. I started the task with great difficulty Manager when this occurs to see if I can see problems with the free time of processors and memory use, and everything seems fine. So far all my research turned discussions about this kind of problem during execution of the virtual machine so I am at a loss to know even where to go next to make this diagnosis.

    Kind regards

    Bruce Brandt

    This is because windows is the collection of memory the vmware used in the system and marking of these blocks of memory piece by piece as 'free '. If you shutted down of the virtual machine (not paused) then the memory can be returned to the system immediately. I guess if it was caused by the Intel RST driver because I noticed about there is also no question AMD computer used by my colleague.

    You can wait until the stops of HDD-light, keeping the stats of light, constant in the meantime try avoid to activate any application of consumption-e/s disk / operations.

    I get this error message

    Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
    you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs

    =================================

    The host OS is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, 64-bit 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

    VMware® Workstation 8.0.4 build-744019


    The server is an HP ml350 g5 zeon 5420 cpu quad core server


    history esx 5i was installed on bare metal, I formatted and installed server 2008 x 64 sp2


    the bios is the last

    and these bios options are set

    Intel VT enabled,
    and no. execute activated too memory.

    ==============

    I understand that when these changes are made to the host should be recycled to power...


    This bios like many others after record changes usually f10, the changes are made and this server restarts

    is this normal?

    don't know what means VMware by power cycle

    I have disabled you options to see if I get an error that I saw the jpeg format

    (called) when the vt is disabled in the bios

    He talks about power cycle the host,

    I have the new option that was just to see if the vmworkstation was reacting to the bios actullaly.

    It has been.

    =============================

    I installed vmware workstion 8.0.4 on windows 2008 x 64 sp2 build-744019

    then I installed esxi 5 all right

    under custom options for the CPU, I chose Intel VT - x or Amd - V
    ==================================


    but when I opened esxi 5

    I get the error message #.

    Virtualized intel VT - x /EPT is disabled for this machine virtual esx
    you will only be able to run 32-bit nested vMs


    so I tried this


    Add the following line to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini:

    hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

    I also put this line

    hv.assumeEnabled = 'TRUE '.

    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VMware\preferences.ini


    but still the same question after stop downs and restarts too

    I stop the physical server and restarts too

    and should it be done before that Esxi is installed in the workstation 8?

    or is the line of editing out of place now?

    Line editing is not relevant for your situation, since your CPU does not have the characteristics necessary for the virtualization of hardware support virtualized.

    If this server supports Esxi 5 bare metal because it was installed when I got it...

    First option get a processor that supports the corrrectly but if Intel specs are misleading where should I start... ???

    under kernel options for this doc of quickspecs ML350 g5 Server

    There are a variety of processors. any suggestions on one. ?

    ========================

    None of these processors will help.  You need at least a CPU E55xx for HV virtualized.

    Option 2) now on this bare metal Esxi 5 with this current processor can I install 64-bit clients? (guess I'll try soon) but I would like to know... all ideas welcome...

    Yes, no problem.

    should I just particularly setttings in ESXi5?

    All the options for me to set up a laboratory for vsphere upward with this as is, or with the new processor?

    IMHO if not I could use 2 of these physical servers if I can get another assumption, that he would need to be the same?

    to try they full of features of vsphere. like HA, Vmotion etc.

    No, he would not have to be identical.  No matter what CPU Intel x 64 of this vintage, or later would be compatible with EVC (well well, with the exception of Atom).  You need only an identical processor for tolerance to failures.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Sorry if I post in the wrong Thread.

    There are a few days ago a user had problems with 64-bit VM too well that VT has been activated. Perhaps the cause (and the resolution/workaround) are the same.

    According to Re: comments 8 and 64-bit Workstation bits in the vmware.log indicate that VT - x is turned on.

  • Running 32-bit only VMWARE Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit?

    Hello.

    I have installed VMWARE Workstation 7.1.1 build 282343. When I look in the Task Manager, I see that the process vmware.exe * 32 runs only in 32 bits. The program is installed unter C:\Programs (x 86).

    What's wrong? Why it doesn't in 64 bit mode"?

    Thank you

    Michael

    Hello Michael,

    The hypervisor operates in 64-bit, the process you are looking at is the UI, not the hypervisor.

    Looking for a process called vmware-vmx, it is the process that runs of your virtual machine.

    There is not really much to gain for VMware with the 64-bit user interface, the important part is the hypervisor and runs as a 64-bit process.

    Hope this helps,

  • Cannot install VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently had to completely reinstall the operating system on a Dell Dimension 9200 with 4 GB of ram. There were originally 32-bit Vista installed by Dell. VMWare Workstation has worked well. I upgraded (in place) for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and VMWare continued to work. Recently I had to blow the OS and reinstall. I reinstalled with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and now I can not install VMWare Workstation Version 7.1.1. I also tried an older version with the same problem.

    I get the UAC prompt and then after some disk activity I get the Microsoft saying "VMWare Workstation has stopped working" giving options (found nothing) solution, close or debug dialog. I tried without UAC turned and no firewall with the same question.

    Any ideas on how I can find this?

    Pete

    Because I had to reinstall the OS, I went to 64-bit, because I have a few apps I need to write 64-bit to 64-bit (Server 2008 R2) that applications servers

    You can run 32-bit Wokstation.  Still, you can virtualize a VM 64 bit on 32-bit workstation.  So do your apps in the virtual machine.

    A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)

    Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens

    I'm running an installation entirely under license of VMware Workstation 8.0.2. This forum works on a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 with 8 GB of RAM and a 160 GB SSD, so what matters. The T420 has an Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz processor. It's running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 for 64-bit.

    When I try to create a virtual machine on this machine to run RHEL 5 in 64-bit mode, I get the following error when trying to turn on the virtual machine:

    VMware Workstation Error.png

    When I click on the link on VMware.com, I get a utility to check the CPU on my machine. When I run this utility, it shows that my CPU is fine for the performance of the VMS 64-bit. Go figure.

    Also, I rebooted and explored the BIOS. Didn't see anything obvious here to turn on to enable this.

    Bottom line: I need to create a VM Linux 64-bit on this puppy, and he won't. Any ideas anyone?

    Welcome to the community,

    Please check the settings of the BIOS again. I'm not familiar with Lenovo systems, but "virtualization technology (VT - x)" as well as "No. Execute Disable" settings are generally in the part of the security of the configuration of the BIOS. Two of them must be enabled. After you change the any of these settings, you will need to equip completely from the cycle of the system (a simple reboot may not be enough).

    If you can't find the settings, please report (attach) the latest vmware.log file of the virtual machine file to see what VMware Workstation detects.

    With the help of virtualization with MMU software software.

    The above message is incorrect; I have virtualization enabled in BIOS.   I checked several times.

    Also, I get a window appears that displays the following text:

    You can't execute nested invited 64bits.  Autoprogramming comments any64bit hardware assisted virtualization must be enabled (VT-x/AMD-v). When you run ESX (i) as a guest, it is not possible to passdown technology.
