The upgrade from VMware Workstation 12: can I install above?

So I just bought a license to upgrade to workstation 12. Now, I noticed that it is (finally) 64-bit native. However, 11 Workstation is native 32-bit. Can I just install VMware Workstation 12 top like I did the upgrade from 10 to 11? Because the 10 and 11 were native 32-bit.

The question is moot.
Upgrade has always meant uninstall the old version, install the new version.
If you do it yourself, you have more control, but the results will be the same.

The safest option is: uninstall manually - reboot - check registry for services that have not been removed - if necessary, repair registry - restarts again and then install the new version right after the restart.

  • The upgrade of VmWare Workstation 5.5 to 8

    I have an installation of Workstation 5.5, which has been used for a while.  It contains several virtual machines, some with more than a dozen shots.  It has worked well for me.  I'm currently upgrading my computer and I would like to upgrade to Workstation 8.0, but upgrade to experience, I know that I will have problems with the upgrade virtual computers that are instant.  Is it possible to upgrade the virtual machine without having to delete all snapshots and return the VM?

    Hello

    I think that you can run the virtual machine as they are - if this isn't against all my expectations, I fix any problems ;-)

  • Move the VM from VMWare workstation 7.1 for ESX 4

    I have a virtual machine created in VMWare workstation 7.1 (Machine virtual Version 7) and have copied to the data store on a host ESX 4 Update 1

    I don't know why I still need to re - import the virtual machine with vmkfstools-i source/destination before it will boot as ESX 4U1...

    Can someone shed some light on this?

    Hello

    Have you tried using the Workstation 7 export feature?

    By using this feature, you can create a consistent ESX VM or a virtual appliance which you would then be able to reload on your ESX.

    In VMware Workstation, click file-> import / export

    For the Source, you must select the Type of source: 'others '.

    then, you look up your VM's vmx file.

    Once in the destination Type, select VM Infrastructure VMware or Virtual appliance.

    If you select VMware Infrastructure, it will ask you your server address VCenter or ESX + credentials and it will load it automatically.

    If you select Virtual appliance, you will be able to create an OVA or file OVF that you can use to create a new virtual machine based on this device in VClient.

  • After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 games installed in my laptop (Chainz, Cubis and Bejeweled, etc.) have bars on each side when displayed in full screen.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire with a screen 16:9 wide (15.6 "), it has the latest graphic drivers ATI and all operating system updates.  After the upgrade to W7 (free upgrade with the purchase of the laptop) everything works wonderfully except all the games installed now not displayed in full screen, I get black bars on both sides, they used for Vista, but not with W7.

    I already tried different settings in the games options, administrator, resolutions screen different, being run in maximized 'Vista' and 'Run' mode of the file properties dialog box shortcut and .exe.  This happened without any security program installed that is not a factor.

    I am at a loss.

    This is to maintain the ratio l / h. It is how the images stretch. ATI no longer has the opportunity to play with the proportions for the sort of stuck like that unless you can find in your version of ATI Catalyst. It is in fact full screen as opposed to windowed mode, but it does not cover the entire screen.

    You can try different resolutions within the application to see if it will actually make your apps full screen to use the entire screen. That's all, remains to be done. I don't know why ATI has decided to exclude this option because some people hate the black bars or hate the stretched images.

    As you may already know, VMware has just released a major update for 11 workstation (including VMware tools updated). Workstation now works almost perfectly. I don't have accidents since then. This means that I have was right in my post above. This is indeed nothing more than a BETA version of VMware buggy, lazy, masked as a "final". Wow, it looks like that a respectable company like this would not resort to such unethical practices. I mean that you would expect this kind of crap of a company like Electronic Arts, but VMware? Come on guys, you're better than this!

  • Can upgrade us VMWare workstation 7 to v8

    Is there a way to upgrade to VmWare workstation 7 to v8 without disturbing currently installed VMs.

    I tried to install VMWare 8 directly on VMWare 7 and looked at the upgrade option. But it asked me to uninstall the current version first, then reinstall.

    Pls help. Thanks in advance.

    The previous version must be uninstalled in order to install the next version, however it does remove all Virtual Machines.  Although once the new version is installed, will need to be upgraded on each virtual machine VMware Tools.

  • How to move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

    I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

    I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

    I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

    Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

    Thanks for any input.

    It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

  • How to solve the problem of VMWare Workstation 8 - unable to open/dev/vmmon

    Initially, I had this problem in March 2011 after installing VMWare Workstation 7 on a lab machine 5.7 RHEL and attempt to boot an image I know was good and should work. .  Someone else fixed the problem for me - I think they had to install a new/different libraries (vmmon.o and vmnet.o for vmware).  However, I find no information detailing what has been done to solve the problem.

    I see the same error on the same machine after upgrading to VMWare Workstation 7.0 for VMWare Workstation 8.0.

    1 here are the mistakes I see:

    a. "Could not open/dev/vmmon.

    b. "failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.
    c. "cannot change the power state of VM: cannot find a valid peers to connect to.

    Also, when I run the stop etc/init.d/vmware, then run /etc/init.d/vmware start, I see that the State of "Virtual Machine Monitor" is DOWN.


    2 here is the information on VMWare Workstation:

    VMWare Workstation 8.0.1 build 528992

    3 here is the RHEL uname - information for the host:

    2.6.18 - 274.7.1.el5xen Linux #1 SMP xxx.xxx.xxx kills Oct 17 12:06:22 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Release of RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.7 (Tikanga)

    The problem could be that the version of vmmon.o and vmnet.o that comes by default with vmware does not work with linux kernel version I have on my system.  I think I need to build a new vmmon.o and vmnet.o on my particular 5.7 RHEL.

    I found that to build a new version of vmmon.o you Executive vmware - config.pl.  I have not just on my machine, and I was not able to find on the internet.

    Here is the version of vmmon.o (for RHEL 5) that I have installed on my machine:
    /usr/lib/VMware/modules/binary/BLD-2.6.18-8.EL5-x86_64smp-RHEL5/objects/vmmon.o

    Here is the version of rhel5 I use:
    2.6.18 - 274.12.1.el5xen
    It is possible that the vmmon.o using bld - 2.6.18 - 8.el5 - x86_64smp-RHEL5 is not compatible with the kernel 2.6.18 - I 274.12.1.el5xen.

    Please help me find vmware - config.pl so I can build my own vmmon.o and vmnet.o
