• 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.

• Can't access c$-the comments since the upgrade of VMware Workstation 7.0.1

  Hello

  Since I've upgraded to a trial version of VMware Workstation 7.0.1 I can't connect to a share on a virtual (WinXP SP3) computer. The host operating system is WinXP SP3. I get the error "error system 64. The specified network name is no longer available. »

  My virtual machines have been created with Workstation 5.5.8 with which he had no problems with access to actions on the virtual machines.

  I can ping the virtual machine from the outside and I can access shares from inside the virtual machine on other machines (physical).

  It is therefore no problem of connectivity.

  I disabled all firewall (host and VM) without success.

  The only thing I did was to upgrade to 7.0.1 5.5.8. A modified in any configuration.

  How can I do my actions work with 7.0.1?

• 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 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

• How to disable the server of VMware Workstation share

  How to disable the sharing of VMware Workstation Server using a configuration of the registry or configuration file. I have several workstations on the network that has VMware workstation 8.0.4 install and I need to turn off sharing for all users. This function is located in preferences/Shared VMs.   I need to be able to adjust this setting to disable remote. The host computers using windows xp. Any help will be appreciated.

  It depends how you are going to access various systems is however here two options that you can include in any method you choose.  We need to create a. CMD file and the other is to use just one. REG file.

  The command Disable_VMwareHostd.cmd of Script can be as simple as:

  net stop VMwareHostd
  reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VMwareHostd /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 00000004 /f
  

  The Disable_VMwareHostd.reg file would be:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VMwareHostd]
  "Start"=dword:00000004
  

  Note: Always two empty lines at the end of the .reg file.

  The syntax of the command to execute would be:

  regedit /s Disable_VMwareHostd.reg
  

  Note that just by using a .reg file, you must always stop the VMwareHostd Service, so I would opt for the use of the method of Script command as it will stop the VMwareHostd Service and turn it off at the same time.

  I still have my put networks in place to be able to (with authentication) execute commands remotely and or push the or the files that are necessary to achieve the objective.  In a case like this, when I had hundreds of systems to change I write a binary executable to fix the problem, which would automatically run when the user logged on to the domain, but if you don't have programming skills so then using a Script command and or file Reg can / will do the job.

• Ubuntu 11.04 very slow after upgrade to VMWare Workstation 8.0

  Hello

  After the update to VMWare Workstation 8.0 my Ubuntu 11.04 comments system (which worked very well with Workstation 7) behaves very slow sometimes.

  Slowly I want to say first that it is very laggy when I scroll conent inside windows, and also when I move windows.

  And with sometimes I want to say that this is not always the case. Sometimes, everything works fine for 1 or 2 hours and she begins and, sometimes, that's the problem immediately after starting Ubuntu.

  The problem occurs when restart Ubuntu does not help. But what is stopping Ubuntu and also restart VMWare Workstation on the host (in my case Windows 7) completely. When I do this and I'm lucky everything seems normal again for a while (1 or 2 hours). After that starts all over again.

  VMWare Tools is installed and the comments system has more then enough resources. I also improved the virtuale image to the latest version so that the new features in Workstation 8.0 are available.

  I first thought that maybe it's a RAM problem but the system begins to lag when there is still 1 GB + RAM available and 0.0% swap used.

  Any ideas what I could do? This is quite annoying...

  You can see the same bug that is described in this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1840185#1840185

• Access to the menu in VMware Workstation 7.1

  I just upgraded from Workstation 6.5 to 7.1 and immediately hit a serious problem: VM has when turn full screen, I can't access the menu of VMware.

  I press Ctrl-alt to ungrab and press Alt - W, Alt-E, etc. to open menus on top of the virtual machine. It worked well in 6.5 and now does nothing.  I have to leave completely full screen to access the menu.  I to this is a showstopper for me - I go to the menu constantly.

  Shortcut control-alt-left/right keys are also broken.  They concentrate the VM that switches, so if I want to move two VMs, instead of htting control-alt-right, I have to stop and ungrab the entrance again and again for each VM I jump over.  Shortcut keys also do work at all when not full screen.  (I use the VMware window menu to edit VMswhich is the biggest problem with the menu does notand I was hoping these access keys fast would be a partial workraround, but these two questions make it pretty useless.)  It also won't let me a list of choices and doesn't let me access a suspended virtual machine.)

  Are workarounds or the other of these known issues?

  Why don't you try quick 'Switch' option instead of using "full screen"?

  Major works of fast switch and hope that this option will satisfy your requirement.

  If you found it useful or appropriate, please note this.

• How to set an MTU of 1600 for test Lab at home for the NSX on Vmware workstation

  Hello.

  I'll set up a laboratory at home to build a laboratory to the NSX. I am running 3 on VMware Workstation 11 Esxi hosts. All three hosts of esxi run each 4 Ethernet adapters on them.

  To configure installation VXlan for my lab at home, I have modified the virtual machine's .vmx file and changed the vmxnet3 device and it works.

  ethernet2.VNET = "VMnet1.

  ethernet2. ConnectionType = "custom".

  ethernet2.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" - change to vmxnet3

  Adapter type VMxnet3 only is not supported for VMware workstation and also one of my hosts broke down several times with the low error message in the log file.

• 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 completely hide the toolbar of vmware workstation 8.0

  Hi all

  I have Vmware workstation 8.0 running on my windows 7 PC and what really bothers me is the small toolbar up to the top. I tried to go to the exclusive display, but it does not work. I use two monitors on my PC but not on my virtual machine, thank you.

  Hello...

  what I see in the screenshot... It seems that u don't PIN the toolbar on the screen...
  So if you need to make it appear again try either hovering on it (it is sometimes so difficult if you have not installed the vmware tools) or exit full screen mode and try another option to display and the spindle of the tool bar in this...

  But impossible to totally remove this thin strip off the screen...

  For vmware tools... guest what operating system u use... ? ! ? !

• Cannot open the exe of Vmware workstation

  Hi all, thanks for reading this post.

  I have a file called vmware-workstation-full - 7.0.0 - 203739.exe which, once clicked is not installed.

  I have norton product of internet security in 2012. I also disabled but not luck.

  Pls let me know any solution? Previously, I had VMware installed, but later I uninstalled it.

  Thank you

  Buxant

  Welcome to the community,

  If nothing seems to happen at all when you start the installation, open the Task Manager and check if there is a process of "fixcamera.exe". If so kill this process and begin the installation. If this isn't the case, the first step to solve the problems is to verify the signature of the downloaded installation package MD5.

  -Proxy server: http://visa06:8080 (which is correct)

  -State connection: connection...

  But it never ends. Any log file to check?

  On my ISA Server I see the following:

  ERROR_SUCESS 0X0

  0X800074E21 FWX_E_ABORTIVE_SHUTDOWN

  No idea what is the problem?

  If you have a licensed copy of connection workstation to your account and download Vmware WS 7.1.3 fo your Linux or Windows platform.  For Linux, download the full .bundle file.  It includes all the tools.  If this isn't the case, you don't need to download an eval copy and leave there a license.
