Remove Windows 7 beta of VMWare Fusion

Hey everybody,

Now that the Windows 7 Release Candidate Public is out, I want to uninstall my virtual machine that has the beta version of Windows 7 on my Mac.

That I just have to follow the instructions here: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1003420 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 18566617 & StateID = 1% 200% 2018568500

or do I need to uninstall Windows 7 in another way too to make sure it's off my machine?

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you

That should do it. You don't have to do a separate uninstall of windows, simply delete the file from the virtual machine as described in this post.

If you are using VMWare Fusion 2.x (perhaps also for 1.x, but I've never used so I don't know), then you may also launch the Virtual Machine library, right-click the virtual machine and choose 'delete '. You will then see a prompt asking you if you want to move the file for this virtual machine to the trash. Choose "Move to trash" and the file of the virtual machine will be moved to your trash. Empty your trash, and who will get the beta out of your machine.

  • Windows 8 / SDK WIndows Phone 8 on vmware Fusion 5.01

    Hello

    I'm on VMware Fusion 5.01 under OSx 10.8.2 Cougar on mid 2012 MB Air with Core i7 Intel.

    I try to use a Windows 8 VM for WIndows Phone 8 development. The SDK seems to work the emulater Windows Phone in one are HyperV VM (virtual machine under VMware virtual machine). To do this, I activated the HYperV support in VMWare Fusion)

    Hypervisor.CPUID.v0 = "FALSE".
    MCE. Enable = "TRUE".

    in the .vmx file and got-> CPU and memory-> advanced-> enable applications hypervisor).

    With these settings, I was able to add the HyperV role to WIndows 8 Pro and turn it on. However, the virtual machine (phone emulator Windows 8) in Windows 8 HyperV does not start (Windows Phone emulator / HyperV gives an error: "the specified for the virtual machine processor topology cannot be supported by the host...) »).

    Is there a way to get around this in VMware Fusion? I heard there is experimental support for this in VMware Workstation 9 (Windows), you even be available for Mac/merged as well?

    Best,

    According to this article, this should work: http://vniklas.djungeln.se/2012/04/23/windows-server-2012-8-beta-hyper-v-enabled-inside-a-vmware-fusion-vm/

  • Don't know password for the new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate on VmWare Fusion

    I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and installed on my MAC OS X machine in VmWare Fusion of an image file provided by the seller of Windows 7.  However, when I start the merger, there is a 'user' set up account, and it asks for a password. Typing in anything doesn't work, or 'guest', 'user' or 'password '.  So I can't past the login screen.

    What can I do?

    That was my mistake, and I 'found' the password trying my MAC password.  This was extracted automatically, or if I entered during installation without remembering, I don't know.  In all cases, it is resolved.

    I made sure that the 3D is disabled on the display settings of the merger (which allowed me to upgrade from Windows 8.1). I have a MacBook Pro retina 15 "2013.

    This is how the icons look

    Can someone ' find one/view the files stored in the Image of XP?

    Are there other risks of privacy / security?

    All the XP files in multiple files .vdmk in the bundle can be easily consulted are

    Eric has already answered the second part of your question so I'll answer the first part.  While they are not as easily seen as just see hard files exist, as to see in the Finder for example, nevertheless he who has access can also, with the right tools, see the contents of files hard otherwise encrypted.  In other words, hard files can be mounted with a ctrl-click > open with... > VMDKMounter.  There are other programs that can open and view the content without a ride just like opening a .zip file in BetterZip.

    Most is, with the exception being encrypted and one without knowing the password, then anyone who has knowledge and access can see what they want.

    Which bring back me to my original statement: "the risks are the same as with all other files/folders, you choose to store here where.

  • Cannot find the Windows 7 Desktop in VMWare Fusion

    Hi all

    I installed VMWare Fusion on my mac.  Works very well.  However, I can't find my windows desktop.  The only thing I can find is Internet Explorer.  I know when I installed it, I clicked on something after the small bar at the top of the screen, but I can't remember what.  Now, in VMWare fusion window, under Windows7, it shows only a gray screen with an icon of recycle bin on it.

    Any thoughts?

    Looks like you spent at the sight of the unit.

    Just move your mouse up to the center of the screen and should display the VMware Menu and then click on the view menu and select full screen or single window or you can open the menu either VMware Fusion application on OS X, Windows applications menu bar or Dock VMware Fusion tile with a ctrl-click.

  • Activator Windows 8 Pro on VMWare Fusion 5 - product key does not work

    I installed a copy retail of windows 8 pro on the fusion 5 using a 64-bit installation disc which worked well (it's my first virtual machine so I didn't install windows 8 to an existing partition of windows 7, so I installed just installed windows 8 new) during the installation it asked for the product key, which he accepted. After installation I tried to customize windows 8 and he told me that I had to "activate windows". I go into settings > activate windows, enter the product key and it will not accept it. He refuses my product key and I do not know how to work around.

    How to activate windows? I bought a bad copy of windows 8? Should I buy an OEM version of windows 8? Any help would be great!

  • Windows 7 Ult running VMWare Fusion on an iMac - will not open the Medal of Honor-Allied Assault

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    In order to be able to run PC games on my iMac using Fusion-VM, I was obliged to purchase Windows 7 like Windows 7 on my PC was an upgrade. Despite the fact that the Ministry of HEALTH ran under Fusion using Windows XP, which is entered on my PC, now when I try to run MOH I'm greeted by a message indicating that Windows has encountered a problem (not identified), but will seek a solution. It was more than four weeks ago but still no word from Microsoft. Oh yes, Age of Empires is running, you don't know.

    Hello

    Medal of Honor-Allied Assault is compactable with Windows 7. The issue seems to be the installation of the program. I suggest you to reinstall the game Medal of Honor on your system and check if you face the same problem.

  • VMware Fusion saves the Windows license?

    Hi, I have had VMware for a while now, but I'm not happy with the performance I get.

    I had been using VMware for practically a single software design but I recenty found a software as well is a native of Macs.

    So I have more need of my VM.

    However, I don't want to completely remove VMware Fusion or anything because my mother paid a computer man a lot of money to get VMware and a Windows operating system.

    I simply want to remove the Windows XP guest I have because it takes a lot of hard disk space that woud serve to my hardrive Mac instead.

    So my question is, if I remove Windows XP but keep VMware Fusion, I'll be able to create a Windows XP guest operating system again in the future with the same license as my current Windows operating system, so I don't have to buy it again?

    Thanks in advance to those who give comments. :]

    You keep the license to use Windows XP in accordance with his CONTRACT, but make sure you have the Windows XP CD product key before you delete the Virtual Machine!  Or if you have an external hard drive just if install the Virtual Machine and you won't have to do it again later if you need to use Windows again.

    If you decide to remove Windows XP Virtual Machine and then before you make sure you have the Windows XP CD product key you will be able to install it again.  If you have the Windows XP CD and the product key so that the CD, then you're sure to do what you want otherwise you will need to extract the product key Windows Windows CD until you delete it.

    Workarounds for this thread: try disabling acceleration 3D for the virtual machine.  Try to uninstall the driver Nvidia of the web and win back the builtin driver OS X.  If you use a spare graphics card, try reinstalling the original.

  • What version of Windows host running better on VMWare Workstation 32 or 64?

    Hello

    IM planning to install VMWare Workstation and I want to hear what you guys have to say on what host Windows works better under VMWare Workstation platform.

    Will install Windows on Macbook Pro C2D 4 GB operating system.

    KR,

    Cristiano Botelho

    on a 4 Gb machine 32-bit and 64-bit systems probably all detect 3.x GB RAM just so you can use a good 32-bit or a 64-bit system.

    My first choice staff would be 2003 32-bit, but you will be here other recommendations as well.

    This question usually results in contradictory answers... you have been warned

  • BB10 Simulator square locked screen aspect ratio on VMware Fusion/Mac

    Having a problem with the BlackBerry 10 Alpha Simulator Beta for VMware Fusion 10.1 Dev / Mac OS X 10.8.2. The Simulator screen is locked to a square aspect ratio and cannot be resized. I tried to make full screen, change the zoom, which extends through OS X window, and the virtual machine upgrade, but the aspect ratio remains. See screenshot below:

    This makes it a problem with our Android app worn, which is completely chewed on that square screen. The entire half bottom of the app is cut off.

    On VMware Player for Windows, the screen appears like a normal phone screen:

    It seems that you use different simulators.

  • GPIB-usb-hs on vmware fusion

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit on an iMac with OS X 10.6.5 via VMWare Fusion. I installed the driver NOR-488. 2, but can not see my GPIB-USB-HS device. This post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/NI-488-2-does-work-on-Windows-XP-Mode-within-... seems to indicate that someone else has had success; his problem was using XP Mode.

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Can I expect the combination of the GPIB-USB-HS with Windows 7-64 on VMWare Fusion on an iMac to work?

    I also have a USB-6215 is working well.

    Thank you!

    John-

    I moved my virtual machine to an OS X 10.6.6 system and things did not work immediately. The GPIB-USB-HS was not visible to the MAX and in Device Manager it looks good, when when I open the property page, he says that there is no driver loaded.

    I was able to get the GPIB-USB-HS working by choosing to update the driver through the Device Manager. The steps to do this are:

    1. right click on the GPIB-USB-HS in Device Manager and select "update driver software...". »

    2. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then "Let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

    3. you must be exactly a GPIB-USB-HS driver to choose. Select it and click Next.

    4. once it finished, view the properties of the device and make you it is said "this device is working properly."

    I did the same test for validating a single request with the device, but it seems to work.

    Let us know if this helps,

  • Sierra and VMWare Fusion 6.0.6 macOS does not?

    I just updated my MacBook Pro (mid-2015) for macOS 10.12 "Sierra", and now when I try to start the Simulator BB10, it "just hangs" «forever» (at least as long as I'm patient enough to let stand at least 10 minutes, I'll try letting it sit UAB tonight) with the 'play' button displayed in the window of the program VMWare Fusion 6.0.6.  By clicking on the 'play' button does nothing.  When I try to quit VMWare Fusion, it again me, the Simulator is 'busy' and leaves me not even exit normally.  I managed to force it to leave it in the Apple system menu.

    Before that I pay to update my VMWare Fusion to the latest version, can anyone confirm if it (and the rest of the Momentics development system) will continue to operate under macOS 'Sierra '?

    Thank you

    Ed

    Well, good and less good news.

    Good news, I installed the trial version of VMWare Fusion 8.5.0 on my macOS Sierra system 10.12 and the BB10 Simulator (at least, the latest version 10.3.2.281) works and my application can run on it!

    Less good news, it runs * very * slow.

    No 1200% slow as the virtualiation equipment turned off, but still slower than it was before.

    Just in case someone comes in the future on this issue.
