Successful upgrade to VMware Fusion, but no printer in Windows 7

No problems with the upgrade, however no printer not appearing in Windows 7.  I turned them on in VMware Fusion.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I also stumbled upon this problem on two VMS, but subsequently solved.  The VMWare Tools installer is not install ThinPrint software in Windows.  What to do is to run the VMWare Tools installer again and choose the "Edit" option when you are asked if you want to change, or repair the installation.  You will then be presented to a tree of elements that can be installed or removed.  Select the one with the '+' next to him and you will see the ThinPrint option with a '1' yellow next to her.  Just click the icon and choose install and all the necessary parts (to paraphrase here).  Continue with the installation and restart your virtual machine.  After that, all printers must be there, as expected.  This is the procedure which worked for me on both x 64 Win 7 installs.  I hope this helps everyone.

    .. .but does not seem to mention the 'double click' upgrade to VMware Fusion 3.app at all.

    I used the uninstall VMware Fusion 3.1.3's, program and after that the 'double click' upgrade to VMware Fusion 3.app does not seem to do anything.

    This http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1014529 , says < this="" automates="" the="" removal="" of="" fusion="" 3="" and="" the="" installation="" of="" fusion="" 4.=""> >

    Where 'this' is the 'double click to upgrade to VMware Fusion 3 app included in the installation of VMware Fusion image. "

    I had installed VMware Fusion 3 and used the app "Double click".  It appears a dialog box that asks you to copy stuff in Applications, and I clicked the next.

    After a dialog box with another opaque statement "during the upgrade, enter your previous license key:...» "that is not possible since the new key for version 4 is longer than the key to version 3.

    In addition, there are two buttons at the bottom right 'Upgrade Now' and 'OK '.   The author of the software even know what is meant by there?  Shameful!  I put the new longer key and went ahead and clicked 'OK' and the 'library of Virtual Machine' open window.

  • Upgrade to VMware-Fusion - 2.0.4 Miss / Don ' t Bother downloading

    I just downloaded "VMware-Fusion - 2.0.4 - 159196 - light .dmg" and tried to update from version 2.0.2.  Installation crashes immediately and is unable to make further progress.  View installation journal suggests that the Setup program is unable to unload the previous kernel extensions after what the installation stops.  Below you will find my attached log file.  I tried twice and each time produces the same result.  The second time was after a clean reboot, and the first thing I did was to try to install vmware.  Also, I guess it's the same for the light version (the version without anti-virus indigestion).  Since this is the second upgrade of vmware fusion in ten days, I guess that there was a problem with 2.0.3?  No change log has been validated for 2.0.4, so there is no way of knowing what he's trying to hard.  Maybe it is necessary to upgrade to 2.0.3 before upgrade to 2.0.4, however, this has not been the case in earlier versions of vmware fusion.  Since I'm upgrading directly from 2.0.2, maybe someone else can tell us in the comments if upgrading from 2.0.3 works.  My suggestion is to wait until 2.0.5 before the upgrade because 2.0.4 seems dead on arrival.

    So I suggest to uninstall Fusion 2.0.2 or what version you have installed, restart and install Fusion 2.0.4 Alternatively, remove the "/ Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.launchd.vmware.plist" file and restart then Fusion kernel Extensions and the VMware virtual network will not be loaded and then try to install however I would just uninstall, reboot and install and do with it , because it is simply not a big deal and takes a few minutes.

  • Upgrade to vmware Fusion 3.0 3.1

    I am running vmware Fusion on mac book pro portable towing.  On a single computer, that I could upgrade to 3.1 very easy form software upgrade option.  On the other computer, the upgrade process never ends, and the upgrade fails.  How to perform the upgrade in these circumstances.

    Have you tried using the VMware-Fusion -.dmg file to disk image from the VMware site vs VMware Fusion itself application update?

  • Need help with upgrade to VMware Fusion 2.0

    The instructions say to ' navigate to the folder where the virtual machine file is saved and put a backup copy... ". »

    I was looking and looking, but I can't find any folder called "Virtual Machines" to play. Any help would be great. I use OS X Tiger on my Intel iMac.

    Thank you

    Well first of all the .localized extension is hidden by default and the other would not normally see in Finder even if in a Terminal, we would.  Second, the .localized extension does not exist on the virtual computers folder under Tiger IIRC.

    Virtual machines created in native mode in Fusion have the extension .vmwarevm (hidden by default) on the folder the files that make up the Virtual Machine are stored and this makes a lot of Document so search in Spotlight vmwarevm is a way to find the Virtual Machine package.

    Another way to search the hard drive must use the find command in a Terminal looking for either *.vmwarevm or *.vmx and the latter is especially if you have Virtual Machines that are not in a Package.  Terminal using the command would be as follows.

    sudo find /-name *.vmwarevm

    Or

    sudo find /-name *.vmx

    This type of search can take a while a since it searches the entire hard drive from the root of the drive.

    Also take a look at the Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion

    If you do not have a virtual computers folder in the Documents folder, you could have a virtual Boot Camp Machine partition and that is located in the following location.

    "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp."

  • VMWare Fusion 6.0.2 with Windows 8 - no found network adapter

    Hello

    I recently installed VMware Fusion 6 Professional edition on my Macbook Pro running 10.9 Maverick.  Then, I installed Windows XP and then immediately upgraded to Windows 8.0.  When I tried to access the Internet using Windows 8, I can't.  I received the message "no connection is available.  How do I fix this?  I have no problems when you access the internet from the host operating system.  I have found several articles in the Knowledge Base for the different configurations and tried a few steps, but still no resolution.


    1. Restarted Windows 8 and restarted Maverick
    2. Diagnostics ran Windows 8, which gave rise to: "Windows did not detect a network card is installed correctly.  If you have a network card, you will need to re - install the driver. »
    3. Firewall Windows - turns off network settings private and Public
    4. Tried to change map of network VMware between NAT and bridged (Autodetect and Wi - Fi).
    • I noticed something on the modification of the file .vmx but you have not yet tried this step.
    • I found an article saying merger allowed 5 type VM OS update by going to 'Settings' and select 'Général', but I can't find this option in Fusion 6 Pro.

    I looked for an article about my particular setup, but found nothing.  If someone can help to provide a useful link to an article for my setup or is aware of how to solve this problem... I would be very happy!

    Recent model MacBook Pro 2011

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    I would never do an in place upgrade of Windows XP to Windows 8 on a Virtual Machine!  Instead I create a Virtual Machine from Windows 8 and install directly Windows 8 by using the upgrade of media!   Take a look at: Clean install Windows 8 with upgrade media

    If you don't want to do just like first of all, I suggest and want to fix the Windows XP upgraded the Virtual Machine, do the following in the parameters of the Virtual Machine.

    Under system settings > General, change NAME and OS Windows 8.

    Under removable devices > NIC > advanced options, click on remove the network card.

    Click the device to add... and select the network card, and then click Add.

    This should fix the gaps between the default Windows XP network card settings and the settings of the network adapter in Windows 8.

  • Time to make VMWare Fusion 4 Lion OSx and Windows XP Pro

    Hey guys,.

    I'm having a problem with the time my virtual machine with Windows XP Pro is. Never tipped time to summer time. I can go back in time and choose Synchronize with internet time and it is always wrong. I can uncheck the sync and just change the time before 1 but less than 30 minutes, the clock turn slowly... very weird, I'm not talking only 1 or 2 minutes, it was more like 9 minutes slow after a half hour.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this because Windows XP was disclosed before the change of daylight 3 weeks earlier in 2007? Does anyone else have this problem? I scoured the internet and cannot find what.

  • Cannot be updated for the new VMWare Fusion - connection to the update server

    Hello

    My apologies if I seem ignorant and things must be explained clearly to me, but I am a Mac user on a Macbook Pro for the first time. Have installed Vmware Fusion, and am also running Windows XP. Whenever I have try and upgrade to the latest version of VMware fusion, I get an error saying "connection to the update server has been lost. How to fix this problem please?

    Suggest that you download the full version of VMware Fusion and then uninstall/reinstall it from the .dmg image file that you download.

  • Can not see several screens host VMware Fusion V2 (mode full-screen)

    I recently upgraded from VMware Fusion v1 to v2.0.1 (build 128865), partly because of the tantalizing statement in the notes to version v2 about "True Multiple display support" specifically, statements ' ability to use any or all screens in mode full screen "and" your virtual machines will recognize each display connect you to your Mac as a separate virtual display»  I have sought the community for all additional documentation on the multiple display support, but have so far produced no detailed information.

    The release notes imply it should Just Work (TM), but so far I have seen no suspicion of multiple display support full-screen mode.  Multiple display support is limited to a subset of customers compatible OSes?  If so, what operating systems?  If they are supported in any guest operating system, how do they appear?  Was the first place where I looked in the settings of the virtual machine display pages, but there is nothing there.  In the prompt Windows 2000, I upgraded merger v1, raise the display properties in the comments shows only a single monitor.  I tried to create a new virtual machine from scratch and installed the guests supported Ubuntu 8.04.1 with easy installation method.  Still, there is no indication of a second monitor.  Moreover, I am short on a Mac Pro with 2 monitors connected and OS X 10.5.6.  I installed VMware tools in the Windows 2000 and Ubuntu customers, version of the tools is 7.9.3 (build 128865, i.e. corresponding to the version of Fusion).

    I would be grateful for clues for where multiple display rack is fully documented, or where it occurs in the Fusion or comments UI.

    Edit: I just remembered something that might be relevant for the case of Windows 2000.  I created this virtual machine by running the VMware Converter on a Windows 2000 machine.  So strictly speaking, this comment was created not even using Fusion v1.

    Multiple display support is limited to a subset of customers compatible OSes?

    Yes. Unfortunately, Win2k is not supported for multiple monitors (he uses a different view model that XP/Vista, which are taken in charge). Ubuntu 8.04 should work according to me (I know 8,10 does). One thing that fires people upwards, is have you select view > use all displays in mode full screen instead of attempt to activate multiple monitors in the prompt.

  • Disk space missing after uninstalling VMware Fusion 6

    Hello

    I tried a trial of VMware Fusion, but it didn't quite meet my needs so I uninstalled according to the instructions of http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1017838

    I also deleted the folder where I had my stored VM.

    It seems that I did not return the hard disk of the virtual computer however space.  Before the trial, I had ~ 320 GB 500 free, now I ~ 120 GB free... and using a tool such as disk inventory X, shows only ~ 180 GB of space used... so it seems that ~ 200 GB of space disappeared completely.

    Everyone knows this, any suggestions on fixes?  I did the usual as ensuring that I emptied the trash and that you have restarted my Mac.

    I hope I don't have to resort to a facility clean, just because I have tested this software!

    Thanks, I downloaded GrandPerspective and noticed that a lot of "space used various" showed, ran it and disk inventory X as root so that all hidden files will be published and it turns out that, for some reason, there were a bunch of copies of my VM in my mobile volume backups time machine.

    A ran 'sudo tmutil disablelocal' according to this thread http://www.mactalk.com.au/11/107659-my-mobilebackups-volume-taking-up-200-gigabytes.html and my space is back!
