Problem installing VMWare Server - code 1603

I thought that I would see how far I could get with the help of VMWare to set up a temporary database server on my machine. However, I couldn't even in what concerns installation, it seems!

My machine is a server on a corporate network and WIndows XP (SP3). My user account has the rights of a local administrator on the computer, and I installed a number of other things on this machine without problems of access rights.  However, when I try and install VMWare on my machine I get a box of selectionneret indicating:

Setup cannot continue. The installer of Microsoft run-time DLL could not complete the installation

Further investigation on the newspapers donnГ the log file attached, the outline that attracted my interest being:

Bootstrapper: 07/09/09 16:32:20 no upgrade is necessary. Version of the system meets the minimum requirements
Bootstrapper: 07/09/09 16:32:20 Found 'C:\DOCUME1\turnerbe\LOCALS1\Temp\ {AF08C71F-F822-4416-87A9-2BBF5A8A5F12}setup\vcredist_x86.exe.

Bootstrapper: 07/09/09 16:32:27 removal
Bootstrapper: 07/09/09 16:32:27 exit facility code is 1603

What led me to the following Knowledge Base article:

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1009167

So I tried to restart the machine, check if VMWare products were still installed (they weren't), delete all the entries in VMWare on the registry and I tried to reinstall. But nothing helps, the same problem happened again.

I even following the link in the article KB http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555175 and tried method 1 (cancellation of registration and re-registration of the Installer) but there is nothing either.

So I'm a bit of a loss what to try next door get VMWare Server 2 installed on my machine. I already had to VMWare Server 1 is installed on this machine (again, using the same login user) but removed during the case to install VMWare Server 2. Currently, I don't have any VMWare products installed on the machine.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

  • You can install VMWare Server 2 on a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit operating system?

    Hello

    I'm trying to install VMWare Server 2.0 on a Windows 2003 64 - Bit operating system.  I install VMWare Server 2.0 and it looks fine, but when I go to install the OS (Windows 2003 32-bit R2) it takes forever.  It also seems very slow in all of my connections to the network.

    I'm doing something wrong.  Someone at - it suggestions?

    I have appreicate help!  Thank you!

    pilots are not really a lot to do with it, due to its operation.  Just make sure that all engines of unloading are disabled, that's about it.  We have a bunch of 2K 3 x 64 hosts with 32-bit guests and it is no problem.

  • I can't install vmware server on the same windows server 2008 with Hyper-V?

    I have a server as the active service of Hyper-V, but I want to virtualize a VMware ESXi, andnot with Hyper-V now like to install VMware Server.

    My doubt is: can install two virtualizadores on the same server?

    It is a virtualization server that I have in my environment.

    Thank you

    Diego Paiva.

    I don't know of anyway to run ESXi in hyper - you can do the reverse to install ESXi and then run Hyper-V as a virtual machine.

    As for your second question - if you ask you can install ESXi on top of Hyper-v - you can, but it will overwrite the Hyper-v Forum

  • 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.

  • OK I installed VMWare Server 2, how can I connect?

    I downloaded and installed VMWare Server 2

    I have an icon called VMWare Server Home Page

    This IE opens on port 8333 seeking a VMware Infrastructure Web Access user name and password

    Where can I find these identifiers?  Technical support wasn't much help, advising me to register the product online.  When I do this it tells me that it is already registered.

    So, how can I start using VMWare Server?

    I must be being stupid sorry!

    Hello

    If you use windows (I think that you have administrator rights), add the password for your account. Enter your windows login and password to connect to the user Web interface.

  • 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,

  • Are there known problems of VMware Server transition to the Workstaton

    Hello

    As VMware Server end of support announced ( http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html) I was looking at transition to VMware Server 2 of VMware WorkStation. I have a Red Hat Linux host machine that has a VMware Server running on it with a single virtual machine. I was hoping to find out what are the problems might face to make the transition from one environment to another.

    I am aware that the server and the workstation cannot co exist on the same system, so basically I need to uninstall the server and install the work station. I am also aware that virtual machines are generally compatible between the two products. I also read on the comparison between products. ( http://vmfaq.com/entry/5/ )

    Are there other traps?

    Thank you

    Varun

    Hello

    You can download the VIX API (it contains the text console vmrun command - he didn't need a desktop case to run) from here.

    If you install the VIX API in a remote machine (not here where the workstation it is installed), you will be able to administer the computer zone in a passing distance.

    Of course, you can do the same thing on the workstation itself locally, using vmrun/vix it is included with workstation.

    Here you will find a tutorial on using vmrun to administer the virtual machine.

    Hope this helps
