Uninstalling VMware fusion

I used VMware Fusion on an older IMAC with Windows XP for a few years.  Liked, but it was slow.  I recently updated to the IMAC I7 Quad and old mac migrated to. To my surprise, the VMware Fusion has worked well.  In fact, it worked great, it was fast.  I've upgraded to VMware 3.11 I did a training camp on the new Imac, because I could and installed windows 7 64-bit.  I works very well.  Now, after a few weeks I started having Kernel panic crashes when you use Spotlight.  There are a few programs have been identified as causing that.  VM stuff was a few of them.  So I uninstalled the program and the other VWWare.  I noticed that I don't have any disk space back, not much anyway.  Am I missing something?  Is there a score somewhere that I can't get rid of?   I would like to put this all back without the partition of the virtual computer.  I wanted to try to use the VMware Fusion with Windows 7 I loaded in boot camp.  I understand that this is possible.  I like to keep my XP works, if I can, but I have no idea what to do next.

Thank you

Tim

Now, after a few weeks I started having Kernel panic crashes when you use Spotlight.  There are a few programs have been identified as causing that.  VM stuff was a few of them.

Do you still have the papers of panic?

So I uninstalled the program and the other VWWare.  I noticed that I don't have any disk space back, not much anyway.  Am I missing something?

Uninstalling merge does not affect your virtual machines, just as getting rid of the Word does not remove your .doc files or update iTunes does not touch your MP3s. Since the majority of the space used is to store virtual machines, just uninstall merger does not change much used space.

Normal virtual machines are stored in files; where exactly depends on where you have chosen when they are created. If you don't remember, try a program like Perspective Grand to know where will your space.

I wanted to try to use the VMware Fusion with Windows 7 I loaded in boot camp.  I understand that this is possible.

Yes, even if you don't need to get rid of XP to do.

I like to keep my XP works, if I can

If you remove the backup of the XP virtual machine files, you cannot use it

    Hi tsl90,

    Looks like the instructions in this article are incorrect (or at least misleading).  The uninstall program is not your directory in/Library/Application Support / as the instructions immediately followed suggestions... it's rather boot Application Support in/library/your drive /, which you can join by going to the Finder and choosing go > computer, and then double-click Macintosh HD (or your boot drive), then the library , then Application Support.  (Article gives the correct location in the first step, you quoted above, but he then gave incorrect instructions on how to get to this place!)

    If you are unsure that you are looking for already in the right place (which is outside your home or users folder), another approach is to use the uninstall program provided on the original image of the VMware Fusion drive.  Download VMware Fusion 2.0.8 disk image again if you want, and then open the disk image and then double-click Uninstall VMware Fusion in there.

    See you soon,.

  • 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!

  • VMware Fusion version 1.0 Uninstall fails

    I have VMware Fusion - Mac 1.0 that has been properly installed and works on an iMac with Leopard.  I had an XP Professional machine and a Windows 98 machine.  I had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall all my software from scratch on a new drive with Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.7).  I installed VMware Fusion 1.0 a few months ago but never recreated my XP and Win98 machines.  Today, while he was trying to create a Windows XP Professional computer, I got several times the following (also attached) error message:

    > fatal error VMware Fusion: (vcpu-0)

    > NOT_IMPLEMENTED bora/devices/mainmem/mainMemHosted.c:1967

    > a log file is available in "/ users/home/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized / Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/vmware.log.

    There is no log file.

    The vm - support.tool to extract the data from the file does not work (of course).

    I thought that it would be prudent to upgrade to version 3.0 with a completely new installation.

    However, the uninstall application does not work: it shows just uninstall it's wrong until the end.

    Any suggestions on how to force an uninstall or uninstall manually?  That may seem simple or obvious to skilled users, but I am relatively new to this.

    VMware Fusion 1.x is not compatible with OS X 10.6.x and you should always check to make sure that something is compatible before installing.

  • VMWare Fusion 7 Windows 7 Black Screen

    VMWare Fusion 7 Pro. I have an existing, working VM of Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 15 "Early 2011 (4xi7) running OS x 10.10 (Yosemite). I copied the VM to my Mini Mac 2012 (4xi7) running OS x 10.8. When you start the computer virtual on the Mini, I chose the option "moved" instead of "copied", as two virtual machines will never be upwards at the same time. While the virtual machine on the Macbook Pro still works fine, the VM copied on the Mac Mini boots to a black screen in the main window. However, the preview window indicates planned graphs and charts in this window it is started normally! I tried:

    1 again copy the VM

    2 turn off the acceleration option and the retina of 3D graphics

    3 reinstall the VMWare Tools (since I see still graphs in preview window, this was difficult but not impossible)

    4. turn the simple core CPU and remove image from DVD player

    Nothing has worked so far. Any ideas?

    Well, I found the problem: the card drivers USB DisplayLink. It's one of these USB devices that allows you to attach a view to it. The version of the drivers I had installed caused this problem. Not sure if the new drivers solve this problem, because I just uninstall them.

  • Cannot run VMWare Fusion on Mac 10.9.4 6.4

    I use Fusion for some time on my Mac (Mavericks 10.9.4). Recently, when I went to launch Fusion 6.4, I received this message:

    Cannot run VMWare Fusion

    VMware Fusion is damaged and cannot be repaired. Please move the VMWare Fusion application to the trash and reinstall VMWare Fusion

    So, I removed the merger application and downloaded again. When I installed it, I got the same message. Well, I thought that this must be one of these 'hidden' files, see you must be corrupt, so I used App Zapper to get rid of the merger and all files related; emptied the Recycle Bin, so merger was gone, gone, gone. Uploaded a new image, the same thing!  No matter what I do, I can't use Fusion. Suggestions?

    Do not use Zapper App - merger, running specific uninstall scripts.

    I've seen that occur when get-Gatekeeper confused about how something has been installed, when permissions are confused, or when a hard drive is running out.  If you have VMWare Fusion and have installed and it run under an administrator account (default in OS x unless you change it), then first use disk utility to first 'check disk' (if you want something better, look for smart voltains software utility), then repair permissions.  If this does not work, try to right click on the merger in the applications folder, and choose open.

  • How can I stop the VMware Fusion installation virtual vmware mouse driver?

    Most of the time after I get windows 8 using vmware fusion, I uninstall the usb vmware mouse driver. Even after that I installed it, the guest operating system still works, but it installs it again when I suspend and resume the virtual machine.

    Delete the file vmusbmouse.sys from the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers and then find the folder C:\Windows\inf, hidden by default, the oemN.file file, where N on oemN is a number containing vmusbmouse.inf and remove it and the file oemN.PNF corresponding in the C:\Windows\inf folder.

    Also delete the folder C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\vmusbmouse.inf_*.

    This should prevent Windows to automatically install the driver for the vmusbmouse.

    There have been some problems reported with the 5.0.2 update and I recommend going back to the previous version your used before upgrade to 5.0.2.  You can download previous versions of VMware and then uninstall/reinstall Web Site.

    Use the following link: Download VMware Fusion

    Then click the watch download button and it will default to the last (5.0.2 now) but now select 5.0.1 or 5.0.0 in the Version drop-down list box.

    Also note that VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling does not remove your VMS and not counting the download time, it should take less than 5 minutes to uninstall/reinstall VMware Fusion itself.  More don't forget to uninstall/reinstall (not repair install)
