• Cano I run several virtual machines with VMware player?

  I can't find a way to launch several machines virtual oin my Windows 7 PC with VMware player. Please advice if this is possible. If this is not the case, what vm product will do the trick?

  Eric

  You can also double-click any VMs .vmx files you want to start.  What I've done is set up the shortcuts in my quick launch for my VMs frequently used toolbar.  Each shortcut target the respective virtual machine .vmx file, is to start.

  Hope this helps

• Problems with VMware Player

  Can someone help me please?

  I have two questions, but here's the background. I run a virtual machine using VM Player with Enterprise Server 2008 x 64 as my OS and Windows 7 on the client system. The version of the player that I use is the 3.0.1 and am not able to upgrade to a newer version that the virtual machines created on the new version won't be compatible with the rest on 3.0.1.

  Question 1: I get the following error message:

  "Could not get the driver vmci version: the handle is invalid.".

  You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Player.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. »

  I uninstalled the software and reinstalled again, download the software from vmware download sit and still get the same error message. I also entered in the configuration of the .vm file and changed the settings vmciio:present from true to false. Should I do this?

  Question 2: Now the virtual machine is not recognizing the CDROM. I tried to use the real player allocated on the client system and also let the virtual machine automatically select, the two ways fail. I looked through other forums that show screen shots of how to fix this problem, unfortunately the screen with what I presented is different from that in demonstration.

  Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  I don't know, but what you can try is to:

  1st edition.) Can you confirm you changed the setting vmci0.present = 'false' with the virtual machine properly closed - not suspended - and VMware Player closed.

  2nd edition.) In settings of the virtual machine CD-ROM, click on the button "Advanced...". "and enable"Legacy Emulation"see if that helps.

  If the above does not help, please report (attached) file vmware.log of the virtual machine to a response message.

• Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

  I installed it,

  C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe
  BlackBerry10Simulator... BlackBerry10Simulator-Installer-BB10_0_04-195-Win-201204262359.exe
  VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

  I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
  I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
  What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

  The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
  but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

  I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Hey be based,

  The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

  1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

  2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

  3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

  4 download and install VMWare

  5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

  6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

  7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

  8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

  9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

  10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

  11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

  12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

  13 open a sample application

  14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

  15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

  16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

  17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

  18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

  Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

  I hope this helps!

• Need help with VMware Player to run!

  I've been using VMware Player 7.1 successfully for some time, but my drive hard host started making noise, so I installed a new SSD drive as drive C on the host computer.  My old hard drive installation was 8.1 for Windows 64-bit, but needed to be cleaned, so I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64 bit on my new SSD for the host.  My guest OS (8.1 64-bit Windows) has been installed on drive E, then I'm not touching this player.  I then installed VMware Player 7.1 and all is well.  However, when I now run VMware Player 7.1 and try to open my (8.1 Windows 64-bit) guest OS, he says now that the Intel VT - x is disabled.  I've never touched the BIOS at all, but to check I went into the BIOS and Intel Virtualization is always on because it has been.  My system is a motherboard ASUS Sabertooth with an i7 processor and 16 GB of ram.

  So I rechecked everything in the BIOS and made sure the virtualization is enabled.  What else can I do to get VMware Player 7.1 running?  Help, please!

  The log file created when I tried to run the guest operating system is attached.

  Thank you

  Abby

  It is indeed strange that there is a difference with no changes to the BIOS. In any case, other messages in the forums, it seems like some antivirus/end point protection applications can cause these issues (see, for example, binary translation is incompatible with the long mode). You have already installed this application?

  It might be interesting to see vmware.log from the virtual machine HARD disk.

• The simplies never backup? -with VMware Player

  Hello community,

  is it possible to use VMware player form simplies to 'save' like this:

  1. a virtual machine inside directoty create: VM_Win7_Folder

  2. copy and paste the complete record for let say Copy_VM_Win7_Folder

  3 and virtual distributor once the VM_Win7_Folder is infected or something just go and delete the entire folder

  with Windows Explorer and rename Copy_VM_Win7_Folder in VM_Win7_Folder and start VM?

  Is it works too?

  Best regards

  Milan

  Yes, make a copy of the files that make up a virtual machine is a way to save.  Made it with the stop of the guest operating system, not suspended and VMware Player closed.

  You can also use snapshot to revert to a previous State thus solve the immediate problem, but remember to always keep any user of data that is stored with the file systems Guest if operating system you do not lose and the user data when it is necessary to restore a VM from the backup or to revert to a previous snapshot.

• I need assistance with VMware Player Manifest.txt file

  I make a program of federal work with ITT Technical Institute study. Well, we have VMware Player installed on lab computers, and on a weekly basis, I have to empty the student accounts.  Well some student accounts I can't delete, I am logged in as the administrator of the Local Machine and when I try to remove most of the accounts I get the message saying that the manifest.txt file is "cannot delete manifest.txt.2: access denied."  Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. »

  and see that I have clear accounts because space is limited on these machines.  I was just wondering if any 1 can help me on how to remove this file, it would be greatly appreciated and if I have this post in the wrong section will be some 1 let me know?

  Thank you

  If the boot without failure for the administrator account and not be able to delete a file under the other user account or the account itself, there is something else wrong.

  First, I make sure that no VMware not associated with the process are running which must be in Mode safe and then I would take a look at the permissions on the file and, if necessary and or possible I would take possession in order to delete the file.  Otherwise issues that may could be corruption of the file system, in which case I would run chkdsk with the argument/f or if it's just that a file could / can be an area damaged the disk hard physics so you can test the physical hard drive with a diagnostic tool specific HARD drive manufacturing.

  Other options would be to try to remove the file from the Recovery Console by booting from the installation disc or Windows using a Linux Live OS like Slax.

  BTW is this topic on the host or guest?  If in a guest I just delete the virtual machine and replace it from a backup and if it is on the host computer, then this is not really a matter of VMware itself and it is more a problem of Windows Administration and must be treated accordingly from the point of view of the user account and or file system management regardless of the application that created the file and act accordingly.

• Dist small linux with VMWare player

  I only want to allow a host workstation run virtual computer images. So for this I need an OS and a player of VMWare. Currently, I used the OEM operating system that comes with work stations. However, they come with vista overload is big enough. Especially when it comes to memory. So I was wondering if there is any document that describes a process step by step (or even a complete iso) with a linux distro and a vmware player installed on it. Where the os and vmware player has been configured to allow the player to vmware the largest amount of resources and where the player was executed near kiosk mode.

  This is of course what VMWare themselves have said would come in the future

  I suggest that you download and install that Xubuntu 8.04.1 codename Hardy Heron, includes long-term support.  It is the variant of Ubuntu Linux designed for low overhead.  Installation of Xubuntu should be very simple in normal cases.

  After that Xubuntu is installed, download and install VMware Player using the packaging variant ".bundle".

  To install VMware Player on Xubuntu, simply run the .bundle from the command line - open a terminal and

  type something like this:

  $ sudo VMware-Player - 2.5.0 - 118166.i386.bundle

  You will need to answer several questions, starting with your password.  You probably want to just press enter several times to select the default values.

• VMware Player configuration dialog box is VIRGIN on install or uninstall

  I spent 2-3 hours combing through discussion forums, and I can't find a solution. I also noticed that it is a very common problem and good solutions do not actually apply to the problem. Hey tend to be generic fixes or patches for other versions of Windows (which may work) or other software (which do not seem to work at all). So if you please (please) don't refer to solutions aimed specifically at the question. On the other hand, it please add real corrections that actually worked so that the next poor slob who has this error will find useful info all in one place. Thank you :-)

  Host computer: Windows XP Pro (32 bit)

  Already installed VMware Player 3. something and it worked well.

  I remember the same error when I install 1-2 years ago, but I don't remember the fix I used.

  I downloaded, verified and then ran the latest Player (VMware-player - 5.0.2 - 1031769)

  I received a 'VMware Player Setup' empty dialog box.

  I waited for 5-10 minutes and with nothing happening, I made an "end task".

  I restarted the computer and tried again. The same problem.

  I searched an answer here and realized that I had to uninstall first the player 3. xxx.

  Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs-> VMware Player-> uninstall = the same problem (empty dialog box)

  I checked the error log error is: ERROR * CHtmlDialog::CallJScript: failed to get the required jscript ID required; COM error :-2147352570

  I ran the VMware_Install_Cleaner.exe, the content of the deleted, temp folder restarted, and I tried uhninstall-> same problem

  I tried the fix here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027986

  1. Open a command prompt. For more information, see opening of a command or shell prompt (1003892).
  2. Run these commands to reregister the files needed and details:
     • If VMware Workstation is installed on a 32-bit version of Windows:
       • regsvr32 jscript.dll
       • regsvr32 vbscript.dll

  I received a message that both were successful. I have Windows restrted (reloaded), cleaned from the temporary folder, tried to uninstall-> same problem

  I stopped my AV software and tried to uninstall again-> same problem

  I deleted the contents of the temp folder and tried to uninstall again-> same problem

  I cleaned the registry, rebooted and tried the new uninstall > same problem

  I tried to install without uninstalling. I tried various suggestions, including decompression of the file in a folder (vmplayer) on the root of C: and the manual installation using the x 86 msi file. This method failed due to several errors.

  Then...

  (1) how to uninstall version of xxx 3. Player and clean while I have a no clean, vmware player system?

  (2) how to install the Reader 5. XXX without this error dialog box empty.

  Thank you.

  I have a solution!

  I deleted all the files associated with VMware Player. In my user files and all (Public) users. Then I deleted all the temporary files used by vmware player.

  I ran the installer for vmware player 3.14 (the original installation) and chose 'uninstall '. He crossed uninstall it without any problem or error. After that, he asked to restart the computer I did.

  Then I ran the installer for the 5.02 and installed without problem or error. He never asked to restart the computer.

  The only thing I noticed was that when I ran VMware Player it took a long time to start (maybe 2-3 minutes). So, I did a reboot and then it was all right, to leave quickly and loading of a virtual machine as fast as before.

• Impossible to uninstall VMware player 4.0.4 CentOS 6

  Hello

  I installed the latest version of VMware player 4.0.4 on CentOS 6.3 (2.6.32 - 279.2.1.el6.i686 #1 SMP Thu Jul 19 23:10:02 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

  and now I can't uninstall it.

  I used Installer .bundle since there is no RPM for VMware Player installer as there are for the workstation and other VMware products.

  rpm-e and yum erase fail to find a reference to vmware player on my system.

  You should be able to use the information of manual uninstall of VMware Workstation for Linux hosts (38) of the to do with VMware Player.

• CentOS 7 in VMWare Player 7 bug report

  Hello

  Don't know if this is the right place to post so please let me know if I'm in the wrong place, but I've been hit problems with VMWare Player 7 installation of CentOS and Ubuntu:

  I had several problems with anything CPU intensive while trying to set up a CentOS 7

  Workstation inside VMWare Player 7.  This is a new KDE workstation installation out of the box

  with maven installed via yum.  The system has been fully updated via # yum update.

  This problem happens every time I try to compile Apache spark 1.1.0 with maven.  However, it seemed

  be the case with other applications, including the GNOME desktop.  I tried the MATE as office

  Well and still have the problem.

  Environment:

  Host:

  VMWare Player 7.0.0 build-2305329

  Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1

  4 core CPU AMD64

  16 GB OF RAM

  Comments:

  CentOS-7, 0-1406-x86_64 (installation of KDE)

  2 carrots

  ~ 11 GB of RAM (tried with different values)

  HARD DRIVE 60 GB

  A CPU intensive causes this deadlock.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1 install CentOS-7, 0-1406

  2 $ sudo yum install maven

  3 update of $ sudo yum

  4 Download spark 1.1.0 Apache sources of http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html and uncompress

  5 $ cd spark - 1.1.0

  $6 export MAVEN_OPTS = "" - Xmx2g - XX: MaxPermSize = 512 M - XX: ReservedCodeCacheSize = 512 m ""

  $7 mvn - Pyarn - Phadoop - 2.2 - Dhadoop.version = 2.2.0 - DskipTests clean package

  Finally, the machine hangs, and a hard reset is required.

  I don't know if it's a question of CentOS, a core issue or, more likely, a matter of VMWare Player.

• Virtual machines VMware Player 6.0.3 gel.

  I had a problem with VMware Player 6.0.3. All my guests freeze finally after awhile. This seems to happen more often with my Linux VM rather than my windows VM. The two become very annoying.

  I tried to adjust memory and its use, but it doesn't seem to work.

  My temporary solution is only a pause virtual machines and run again. Graphics performance are poor thereafter.

  Someone at - it experience something like this?

  Hi Jmattson,

  It seems to me I found the problem and it is fixed. I had added the following line to the VMX file:

  sound.bufferTime = "200".

  Apparently, the problem can be associated with buffer as I had very chopped him reading audio and video of the virtual machine just before it freezes. This may be due to move from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 as a host operating system.
