The Windows 7 XP Mode requires the activation of VMware Player 3.0

Clearance for VMWare Player 3.0 State note: "import Windows XP Mode virtual machine using VMware Player 3.0 and run the virtual machine without be prompted for a Windows XP license key." I tried it and as soon as the VM has opened in the drive, the Windows Activation appears because of all the different material.

Is there a different procedure for this? The XP Mode machine works well in VMWare Player - but it is not good if it needs activation.

Any help is very appreciated.

In the Player 3.0 there is an option in the file menu "Import Windows XP Mode virtual machine".  This is displayed if the Mode XP .vhd file has been downloaded and installed on your system.

You must use this method to run the .vhd file.   It will automatically install the .vmx with the correct settings file and create a clone that is linked to the original to run file from.

    If I try to install/upgrade to update VMware Tools after the Installation of VMware Player 7 no ISO will be connected to the virtual machine.

    I just downloaded VMware-player - 7.0.0 - 2305329.exe and installed under Windows 7 x 64 and had no problems with it automatically detect installed VMware Tools to the guest operating system to be downloaded and successfully downloaded.  Having said that, have you tried? : Player > file > Preferences... > download now all components

    Maybe something is blocking you to download the VMware tools.

    You could also do it manually by using the following tools from VMware for VMware Player 7.0.0.

    Unzip the file, then run the executable result and it will silently install the file without any indication that he actually did like this isn't really so planned how to do even if it works!

    Anyone has an idea on how to do that?

  • No access to the network through VMWare Player

    Hello

    I currently have ESXi as a guest on VMWare Player 3.1.3 on a Ubuntu 10.10 system.

    The ESXi system can access the network very well, but all guests accommodated on ESXi is unable to access the network.

    The guests are usually able to receive DHCP information, but cannot ping (or undertake any other connection) outside. In addition, the ESXi host cannot ping these guests running.

    Is this just a limitation of the software curiously layered? Or is there something I can do to fix this?

  • With the help of VMWare Player in internet cafes

    I'm hoping to take a virtual machine from a development environment rudimentary vacationing European cycling for emergency repair work (SQL Server, Microsoft Access, etc.). I had intended to put the virtual machine on a S200 personal IronKey 16 GB Secure Flash Drive: https://www.ironkey.com/personal.

    I would use this VM in internet cafes. Is it possible to run the virtual machine without installing the player on PC for a coffee? For example, it is possible to rotate the player from the same flash player?

    Thank you.

    VMware Player must be properly installed on the host system. Also running the VMS in a drive USB Flash can be very slow with a lot of latency, and I wouldn't recommend well it's certainly doable.

    I was in safe mode and set a password as an administrator who does not help me to go beyond the Pro XP log-on screen who has need of password and user name.  This computer is Windows 7 Ultimate with XP Mode which has the habit of work. Now I can not access my recipe database which is in XP mode.

  • VMWare Player installation and Installation of the software in the virtual disk

    Hi people,

    I installed VMWare game in the free Version. I want to use the virtual disk for a Windows XP operating system. I have the following question for my main system (8.1 Windows 64 bit system stand-alone system).

    1.

    I installed a Windows XP 64-bit with SP 2 system. In this virtual disk, I installed a software that needs several software components. I managed to install all the components, but one. This component is WindowsInstaller-KB893803-package x 86 lot. If Intry to install the following error notice appears: "Ce KB893803v2 is for a different hardware platform." How can I make this software to obtain the virtual hardware information (i.e. not information of the current build-in components for Windows 8.1).

    2.

    While I did all the settings in Windows XP SP2 in the virtual disk on 'German' keyboard assignment is American. How can I change this?

    3.

    I have a 64-bit Windows 8.1 system on my computer (I think it said 'Host system'). Can I install a Windows XP 32-bit system in the Ramdisk anyway?

    Please answer in detail. I thank in advance for your answers.

    Kind regards. Mainze


    Don't worry too much on the OS host and/or physical hardware like handles of VMware Player, which is required to run Supportepar OSes as guests, for the most part, a layer of virtualized hardware.  Windows XP 32-bit should work fine in VMware Player on your 64-bit Windows 8.1 host.

  • Connect two VMs via the connection to the local network using VMWare Player

    So this topic can be posted already, but I'm at the end of the roll, trying to find a solution. I have VMWare player installed 3.1.4 on an enterprise_x64 of Windows 7 system. I configured two virtual machines: OS1 comments: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.5_x64 and OS2 comments: WIndows 7 Ultimate_x64. I need the Linux server to act as a database server in the system environment, that I am creating. The Windows 7 VM will be the client PC. The Linux server is configured to be it's own DHCP server, so ideally the client PC connects to the field of tht and also follow the Linux server IP address.

    I tried all the options of networkign for each virtual computer, but no sem to create this type of connectivity. How to configure the network settings in VMWare Player to make two virtual computers can communicate with each other via a virtual network? (Communication with the host pc is not necessary)

    The short answer is to manually install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, Editor of virtual networkand configure VMnet2 without DHCP and host vNIC and then configure manually each virtual machine network adapter to use Custom VMnet2.

    The longer answer has already been given so many times that you should be able to find detailed directions, however...

    To install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, virtual network editor, run VMware-player-* .exe-e c:\vmptmp go to a command line and then in the c:\vmptmp folder, locate the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually ' C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player ' you can create a shortcut to it and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player if you want to access more easily to her.  This utility is not installed by default is however necessary to turn off the automatic bypass on VMnet0 if the system is multihomed and two or more physical host from the NETWORK adapter is active or you want change VMnet1 and VMnet8 subnet addresses or additional VMnets.

    The you must manually change the configuration of each virtual machine's .vmx file in Notepad, change an existing parameter and add another.

    Change:

    ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
    

    TO:

    ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
    

    Add:

    ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet2"
    

    Note: Regardless of connectionType ethernet (n) shows it should be changed to "custom".

    Be sure also to Machine virtual are stop, not suspended and VMware Player is closed when you edit the .vmx config files.

    Here are some pictures to show.

    Here in the VMnet2 virtual network Editor is selected and is how it should be if you what to use your own DHCP server and the host does not have a vNIC.  You can change the IP address as a result of your needs.

    Here's the value VM card network NAT settings.

    This is what network settings Virtual Machine map will look like after you change the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file to use Custom VMnet2.

    BTW if you replace the Machine network card virtual settings through the user interface customized by something else then you will need to manually edit the .vmx config file to retrieve.   With VMware Workstation, you do not need to manually install the virtual network editor and should not manually edit the .vmx config file as the custom list box is still present and shows all VMnets to select from.

  • VMware Player (VMware Workstation?) Interfere with the connection of the browser

    I installed VMware Player (or so I think) on Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.  Here's what the Properties tab - & gt; Details shows for "C:\Program VMware Player\vmplayer.exe:

    Description of the file: VMware Player
    Type: Application
    File version: 6.5.4.11892
    Product name: VMware Workstation
    Product version: 6.5.4.11892

    Updated: March 31, 2010 23:31
    Language: English (United States)

    I looked for this in order to make the version of the-what? -VMware Player or VMware Workstation I, and in order to find the right users Guide or manual.

    But this isn't my problem entirely.

    My problem is that I was using my HTTP (browser) client and it has been noticed that I could not connect to certain websites (e.g., http://www.gnu.org/).  I can do that at home, through my wireless router (configured for IP) static on the local network.  Then I go to work where I use the ethernet connection (not getting any IP by DHCP!... configured for a static IP address on the WAN).  I call tech info, that says they can connect.  I think it's because I'm using OpenDNS instead of the name of University servers, and then I enter the "Network Sharing Center' and see 'several networks' and THREE Local (ethernet) connections.

    After that think "WTF?" and think that 2 local connections and 3 are screwing things up, I disable all local connections and re-enable the connection with the hardware ethernet card.  Who has NOT solved the problem of my failed to connect to the web site, that is

    http://grub4dos.sourceforge.NET/

    The service

    http://GSiteCrawler.com/tools/server-status.aspx

    reports the HTTP 200 response code very quickly.  I use this service to see if the info tech group workplace blocks a web site.

    However, I want to learn more about virtual network maps created by the VMware Player (desktop?).  I ran the "vmnetcfg.exe" interface and in the Summary tab, see:

    Virtual network

    Subnet

    DHCP

    VMnet0 (bridged)

    255.255.255.255

    VMnet1 (host only)

    192.168.136.0

    Activated

    VMnet8 (NAT)

    192.168.219.0

    Activated

    The guide I want to read should explain what are these local ethernet adapters and they can interfere with the operation of the host outside of the virtual machine.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forums!

    The guide: http://pubs.vmware.com/ws7_ace26/ws_user/ws_net.html#989125

    Where is your problem to browse occur? In comments or host?

    VMnet0 is the virtual bridged network. He connected the virtual NETWORK adapter of your guests who are bridge transparently to your physical network device.

    VMnet1 is the network invited only, a virtual, where the host and the guests are members of. You see a VMnet1 NIC on the host, because it's the virtual card that the host uses to connect to VMnet1.

    VMnet8 is the NAT network. It connects to each stack TCP/IP Protocol on the host computer. Therefore the guest may use any communication device that uses TCP/IP. Th egust is hidden behind the NAT device. This means that all packets leaving the host, coming from the prompt appear to come from the host. VMnet8 virtual card is one that connects to the host on VMnet8 virtual network to enable external communication for the customer.

    Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?
