  OK, I'm back to zero:

  -creates "c:\temp".

  -copy of VMware-player - 3.1.2 - 301548.exe in c:\temp

  -executes the command "c:\temp\VMware-player-3.1.2-301548.exe/e c:\temp\player".

• Cannot install VMWare Player, workstation or anything like that

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

  

  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.

  

  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
  • VMware Workstation Pro 12

  Thumbs up!  VMware!

  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.

• 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).

  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!

• Problem installing vmware in Ubuntu 11.10 tools

  I've upgraded from vmware workstation 7 to 8 on a windows 7 pro workstation. I've added to my VM - 11.10 Ubuntu guest. Now I have a problem installing vmware tools.  That's what I did:

  ((1) installed Ubuntu 11.10 CD in the drive, 2) open vmware and Tools CD added to office.  (3) connect you open terminal window.and.  Since I'm new to Linux, I'm stuck on how to set a password.  I type sudo passwd root, and I can't type anything in the window.

  Ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  You have two questions unrealated

  (1) with respect to the OS - Ubuntu 11.10 - these shoud guest invited on ubuntuforums.org Creafe a connection there and ask in the beginner's forum.

  Tip - You don't really have need a password for root in Ubuntu.  Use you sudo to run root permisssions wherer programs are needed.  He said on top of each terminal.

  (2) you have any questions on how to install VMware Tools in a Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) Guest.  You most certainly need assistance with this.  In the toolbar of the program, you will see a tab called "Help".  It only contained other information you are looking for.

  See the sections on VMware Tools.   They are really useful!

  Tip: You do not use the OS installation disc that you used to create the virtual machine. Look closely under the VM tab at the top. There will be an option in the drop-down list that says "The Install Vmware Tools" you need to select this option.  The insatll will be mounted as if by magic in SLE directory/Media in the comments.  Copy the tarred on this cdrom in / tmp.  Then naviagate (carefully) in / tmp and unpack the file you copied.  Carefully change (look at you spelling - do what I say - not as I do in this post!) to the directoyrf that was created.  Exceute as su (i.e. root - like in the 1 trick.)  the .pl program wiil be contain breast.  Technically, this is called a "script" don't forget to put a. / before the script name or the bad dthing don't know he lives there.  He will ask youj on many issues.  Answer Yes to all these thatg you can.  Most likely, he will say he does not find the gcc compiler (gcc to learn more about the new program of thisbrfand the man.  He complains of missing headers.  Exit the script (Ctrl + c).  Run a progarlm (as root!) called apt - get.  Type the command apt - get install build-esseential.  Thatt is going to install the compiler you need!   Yes still needs to install the header ogical file well! Phew!  The best way I found to do this is to install a nifty program called synaptic. Use apt - get install synaptic.  I think that Ubuntu even comes with a somewahat more easy to program called apt - get it will tell you and have fun there no Super Powers mean if you type an incorrect order!   I digress from the subject.   So, you can use use "sudo aptitude install synaptic l.  Now issue the command uname - r.  He sleeps on the same kernel you use since I use Ubuntu 11.10 asI type while I'm about to uplgrade to the very scary Ubuntu 12.04.  You don't want to do it yourself.

  3.0.0 - 12-Generic

  Now launch Synaptic.  There will be a message the first time on the program expalining.  If you want to see it every time to understand this program if y0ou forget don't check the box saying you don't wang to see this every time.  BTW youi will be asked for your root passworfd to run the program.  Hope you rfemembered it!

  In any case in the search box copy, then paste the result above (one that ends with - generic - but anything copylthe) there will be l be a long list of items, but choose the one that has the string above and the word "headers".  Insatll who.  After all it can return to the order which took end. / pl and run it once more.  Answere questions.  It will end with the encouraging words (you can take advantage of the VMware Tools.  Then, run the command - vmware-toolbox as it says.

  F well there you have it in short.  My price for Linux and Mwar advice is reawsonable please contact me at one of my addresses, alias - [email protected] and we can talk about payment.

  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.

• Problems with VMware Player

  Can someone help me please?

  I have two questions, but here's the background. I run a virtual machine using VM Player with Enterprise Server 2008 x 64 as my OS and Windows 7 on the client system. The version of the player that I use is the 3.0.1 and am not able to upgrade to a newer version that the virtual machines created on the new version won't be compatible with the rest on 3.0.1.

  Question 1: I get the following error message:

  "Could not get the driver vmci version: the handle is invalid.".

  You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Player.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. »

  I uninstalled the software and reinstalled again, download the software from vmware download sit and still get the same error message. I also entered in the configuration of the .vm file and changed the settings vmciio:present from true to false. Should I do this?

  Question 2: Now the virtual machine is not recognizing the CDROM. I tried to use the real player allocated on the client system and also let the virtual machine automatically select, the two ways fail. I looked through other forums that show screen shots of how to fix this problem, unfortunately the screen with what I presented is different from that in demonstration.

  Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  I don't know, but what you can try is to:

  1st edition.) Can you confirm you changed the setting vmci0.present = 'false' with the virtual machine properly closed - not suspended - and VMware Player closed.

  2nd edition.) In settings of the virtual machine CD-ROM, click on the button "Advanced...". "and enable"Legacy Emulation"see if that helps.

  If the above does not help, please report (attached) file vmware.log of the virtual machine to a response message.

• Problem installing VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012

  Hello

  I have problems when trying to install VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012. Windows Server is Amazon EC2 environment and a generic image extended release.

  The problem is that the installtion process fails because of "Hyper-V" during installation, but after investigating the option "Remove roles and features" I can see that it is not installed.

  Is there any fixes for this issue?

  I enclose three screenshots for you pleasure.

  Regards, Ray...

  Hello Ray,

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.

  You run an EC2 instance that has just 615 MB memory installed?

  It's kind of a weird for a host, much too low for Amazon memory configuration, even be profitable.

  I think that your server is running UNDER Hyper-V, for example. It is probably a Virtual Machine.

  You can easily check that yourself by running the script from this site:

  How Hyper-V to: detect if you are inside a virtual machine

  If it's a Hyper-V virtual computer then I don't think you can install VMware Workstation on the virtual machine and run the nested clients.

  You could do the opposite (invited running hyper-V in a workstation virtualized on vSphere) but is not very fast.

  As you have no control over which platform virtualization Amazon use for their windows servers, I'm afraid you will have to go for a dedicated server instead of a virtual machine.

  Hope this helps,

• vmrun suspend problem of VMware Player

  I've been using VMware workstation for a while but recently switched to VMware player 3.0, (largely because of the irritating instllation problems for Workstation 6.5.3 under Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64).

  With my computer, I use the vmrun command close all my virtual machines.

  Despite downloading the latest version of Vmware-vix (1.8.1), vmrun suspend & lt; path to the vmx file & gt; generates this error message:

  Unable to connect to the host

  Error: Type of Service VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION

  My reading of the documentation seemed to suggest that vmrun must work with the player as a workstation. Please could someone help me understand what ' I'm missing here?

  Thank you very much

  Enter the code < code > < code > here you use the t on vmrun indicator to indicate that the target is a vmware player? :

  < Code >-T < hostType > (ws| ) Server| server1 | fusion| esx| vc| Player )< code >

  I was able to run suspend with:

  <code>$ vmrun -T player suspend /export/vmware/cmp/cmp.vmx
  
  
  </code>
  

  It is with the version of the player (3.0.0 build-203739) included in VMWare Workstation 7 (on Ubuntu 9.10).
