VMware Fusion 5 install W7 with USB

Hello

I am trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro retina (has no optical drive).

I use VMware Fusion 5 and a USB 3.0 32 GB.

On a Windows 8 machine I made an iso file of my Win 7 DVD.

With WIndows 7 USB tool that I put is on my USB key.

But when I connect my USB from VMware key, I get the message "the device 'JetFlash mass storage device' was unable to connect to its ideal host controller."

Yesterdat I got this but it worked once but now I want to do it again and it does not work.

So, just that to be clear, there are things that works very well for you now or do you still have questions related to this topic?

    Hello

    I recently installed VMware Fusion 6 Professional edition on my Macbook Pro running 10.9 Maverick.  Then, I installed Windows XP and then immediately upgraded to Windows 8.0.  When I tried to access the Internet using Windows 8, I can't.  I received the message "no connection is available.  How do I fix this?  I have no problems when you access the internet from the host operating system.  I have found several articles in the Knowledge Base for the different configurations and tried a few steps, but still no resolution.

    I would never do an in place upgrade of Windows XP to Windows 8 on a Virtual Machine!  Instead I create a Virtual Machine from Windows 8 and install directly Windows 8 by using the upgrade of media!   Take a look at: Clean install Windows 8 with upgrade media

    If you don't want to do just like first of all, I suggest and want to fix the Windows XP upgraded the Virtual Machine, do the following in the parameters of the Virtual Machine.

    Under system settings > General, change NAME and OS Windows 8.

    Under removable devices > NIC > advanced options, click on remove the network card.

    Click the device to add... and select the network card, and then click Add.

    This should fix the gaps between the default Windows XP network card settings and the settings of the network adapter in Windows 8.

  • The use of vmware Fusion to install Bootcamp

    DVD drive of my Macbook Pro is broken and I need to install Windows on the bootcamp partition.

    Is it possible to do or does someone here who has done this before?

    I found several ideas / pointers like modifieng control files & allowing them to point to the partition boot camp, but no longer had a chance.

    Thank you for any suspicion!

    Many thanks to the development team of VMWare for this great product!

    Thanks, it's always encouraging to hear the satisfaction.

    I just upgraded to 3.1.2 Fusion via Auto-Update, rebooted and suddenly appears the bootcamp partition. I then started the installation program and now Windows installs with happiness.

    So for me this issue is resolved.

    Hmm, wait. First, Fusion does not boot then sector produce or use Boot Camp virtual machines, so I can't install Windows via Fusion will start in native mode. Second, virtual material seems different from physical hardware. If it does not start in native mode, Windows can not like the changes. The same thing happens in reverse order when you run a Boot Camp in merge partition for the first time. Fusion fiddles drivers beforehand to make it smoother, but you'll not that goes in the direction of another.

    I don't mean to rain on your parade, but using Fusion to install a Boot Camp partition is not something we test and may not work - I wouldn't count it as a success until you have at least checked if you can start the partition natively.

  • VMware Fusion 3 Installing Applications problem

    Hello

    Whenever I try to install an application on my Windows XP through VMware fusion virtual machine, the installation fails. I tried to install Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, failing both. I tried both the mounting ISOs and use of official records. The message that I get when I try to install MS Word is attached.

    Note: When I first installed the virtual machine I installed Visual Basic 6, which works very well to date.

    Once again, not a matter of actual Fusion and you need to refer to Microsoft for a solution.

    Take a look at the following and it was only the first three when searching for the error "The Windows Installer Service is not to be accessible":

    Error message "Could access the Windows Installer Service" when you install a program in Windows XP

  • VMWare Fusion 7 and still no USB 3 drivers...

    I'm a little disappointed that even after upgrading from 6 to 7 that I get always no VMWare USB 3.0 native support is Windows 7...

    I don't know if they have it works for Windows 8.1 but certainly, it does not work for my main Windows 7 VM.

    The case is really technical over an entire year, it would not be implemented in 7? Help me understand.

    Disappointed...

    P.S. If anyone has found a solution, please you intrigue me.

    kungfuu72 wrote: help me understand.

    This topic has already been covered ad nauseam!

    The bottom line is Windows 7 not delivered with the native USB 3 support for skins, and Microsoft has not provided any service pack or upgrade to Windows 7 to other native USB 3 support.  Therefore, it is a matter of Microsoft not a matter of VMware!    VMware choose that support the native functionality of the OS and Windows 8/8.1 provides the native USB 3 support of skins and as such VMware support USB 3 in Windows 8/8.1.

  • Help update recovery to Lion with Fusion always installed 2.06

    I will say just above, I did the dumbest thing. As an impetuous hobbit, I was captivated by the bright shinny new OS X Lion and installed the new OS (Lion - OSX 10.7, updated to Snow leopard) without checking out VMware Fusion 2.06 compatibility with Lion (I found a statement clear here , I want to, I saw BEFORE I did the update of Lion).  It's true - I'm a doping, silly, do this who comes to me, don't deserve inclusion at dinners, etc., etc., (perhaps recognition warp the need by those who are desperate to feel superior hurling even grudge my way). That said, I've installed Lion on my MBP, on which I've also fortunately ran Fusion 2.06 virtualize Windows XP.

    Unfortunately, after the installation of Lion and the upgrade of the few mac apps I have found, that requires an update, I discovered to my horror that tent to launch Fusion 2.06 inspires XP, I get a message saying

    "incompatibility of the 64-bit kernel . The version of VMware Fusion does not work with the 64-bit Mac OS X kernel, you're running. To use VMware Fusion, you must restart your computer by using the 32-bit kernel in Mac OS X.   Stop VMware Fusion.  "

    Well dear reader, you know maybe, that Lion (OS X 10.7) to no. 32 bit kernel. It has ONLY a 64-bit kernel.

    So begins my decent to Mordor.

    Maybe on a bright note that all will not be lost, I also these last backups time machine just before the Lion ate the distraught traveler. However, my backup excluded the VM VMware fusion (as is the case of the default settings of Time machine), and my last actual backup of the VM's for many months - (Yes, Gandaulf, another stupid error). However, I still see the "Windows XP Home Edition" file under "Virtual Machines" in My Documents directory - (which I am backup on an external drive now).

    After doing research on the Apple, here at the VMWorld and in other parts of the County, accessible to all blind in Google, there are many people who have made similar mistakes and few definitive solutions.

    So I have 3 applications of you wise and powerful wizards for detailed help.

    (1) is there a way and upgrading VMWare Fusion to 3.13 (which seems to be the version currently closest to you to support 'More' of the Lion, in my current state of "Lion" without losing my XP based applications and data?)

    (2) is it possible, and how, to return to my Snow Leopard machine based just before the installation of Lion, using my backup Time Machine, without losing my XP based applications and data, whereupon I'll conscientiously upgrade to 3.1.3 Fusion (or hopefully a machine virtual fully supported) and perhaps reinstall Lion after having better due diligence?

    (3) in other ways get to either get my XP machine and data while under the Lion, or to return to Snow Leopard and get my XP back machine.

    Thanks for any help you can provide, and any help you can offer a silly poor hobbit on a quest to save the count (unrelated to Shire - the pharmaceutical industry).

    -Tau (or in this case, maybe Pippin)

    Keep in mind there is a difference between merger and a virtual machine. While the Fusion 2 is not compatible with Lion, virtual machines produced by the merger should be fine. All you should have to do is to install Fusion 3 (which should not affect your virtual machine) and you can even use the free 30-day trial to make sure that things work before paying.

  • VMWare Fusion 6.0.2: Mavericks - Windows 7 Clipboard sharing does not work

    I'm running a MBP, OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks), VMWare Fusion 6.0.2 with a Windows 7 VM. The elements copied to the Clipboard in one are not properly shared with the other. I went in every parameter I know to try to solve this problem, no dice.

    All known solutions?

    Brad

    Hi Brad,

    1. click on the menu Virtual Machine-> settings, then click on the button of isolation in the Panel settings, Pls, make sure that the two check box (enable D & D, caillet &) and checked.

    2. If the boxes are check, have you already tried to install VMware tools by clicking on the Virtual Machines menu-> reinstall VMware Tools? Can drag you a file from the Mavericks to the Windows 7 VM? No sharing of Clipboard does not work when Windows 7 has just started and no other application does?

  • VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

    At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

    1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
    2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
    3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
    4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

    I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

    1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
    3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
    4. Restart comments

    A few quick thoughts:

    1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

    2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

    See you soon,.

  • VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

    This is a quote from the VMware Fusion Professional 6 product page:

    VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.

    Where can I find these IT administration tools?  I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.

    How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    Glitch004,

    You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

    1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

    2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

    installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

    3 restart merger and you will find:

    . VM library is hide in the VM menu.

    . only one virtual machine can be used, while click second VM Fusion of the reports ' Unable to open document. "

  • VMware Fusion Pro 5.0.1 dies suddenly

    I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to Fusion Pro 5.0.1 on OS X 10.7.5 and seem to be affected by what should have been a bug probably blocking release, because it weakens the App to die.

    In the window of the Virtual Machine library, at the bottom where it shows the space used by the virtual machine, there is a small icon "recharge."  When I click on it, after about 1.5 seconds, the following is written in the console log:

    05/11/12 6:48:07.999 PM [0 x 0-0x21b31b1].com.vmware.fusion: NOT_IMPLEMENTED bora/lib/disklib/sparseChecker.c:1291

    05/11/12 6:48:08.012 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: ([0 x 0-0x21b31b1].com.vmware.fusion [56737]) came out with the code: 1

    05/11/12 6:48:08.114 PM vmnet-dhcpd: leave.

    ...
    A bunch more is written, mostly cleaning other VMware (vmnet, vmmon, vsock, vmci) modules.
    I tried to search the community forums and haven't seen any mention of this by someone else, which surprises me.  It is always reproducible behavior.
    Also, try to reduce the disk using the recommended 'Clean Up' button seems to weigh to halfway through, requiring a Force Quit to end the application.
    Pointers to patches or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello dossy,

    The Fusion product manager sometimes read the forums... but I have read the source code, so I take it on the product manager. (Sorry, spb2011.)  Please, trust me on this one.  If the virtual computer is running, your VMDK is corrupted now.

    This failure currently kills the user interface (unfortunately) because the specific type of corruption is very rare and is not something that we can put back easily.  We have not yet implemented the code to display the dire situation for the user.  You are right: we should not kill Fusion for this, and it's something we can implement.  I'll drop an internal bug report to take care of this.

    What I do is what allows you to bypass the part that we have not implemented: once that us to implement, it would likely post a dialog box saying "your virtual disk is damaged in a ugly way, and I don't know how to fix it.", followed by a large part of the same statement that I gave in my previous post : Make sure you have a backup, take a new backup, check the drive host for consistency problems, then try again...

    Why your VM seems to work very well?  Two possible reasons come to mind: when the VM is running, we realize every possible on a VMDK, critical consistency check while performance will the virtual machine.  When you click the button to refresh the information on space use the VM, we take the time to look at records more carefully, so that we find the error of consistency that I describe, which unfortunately brings the app of Fusion to a grinding halt.  The explicit consistency check also covers all of the virtual disk and its snapshots, while corruption in a neighborhood rarely used virtual drive or in its chain of snapshot is not likely to be detected during normal operation.

    I hope this helps!

  • BUG: Breaks VMware Fusion when there is free space on the host < 1.9 GB... result = > 1,9 GB never use for anything! (note: I do not use a virtual disk!)

    Hello

    first some info on my system:

    -


    MacBook Pro

    Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz

    RAM: 4 GB

    HARD drive: 112 Go - 2 partitions (80 GB Mac OS x 10.5.6 32GB, Windows XP)

    ---

    VMware Fusion version: 2.0.4 (other affected versions 2.0.3/2.0.2/2.0.1/2.0)

    Allocated to the virtual machine RAM: 1.5 GB

    Under Windows XP in VMware (boot_camp) partition separated - NO VIRTUAL DRIVE! -separate the NTFS partition.

    -


    Now the bug/problem:

    Every time that free up disk space on the host partition (MacOsX) becomes less than 1.9 GB the VMware Fusion makes a break with this runtime message:

    -


    VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full.

    To continue, free at least 1.9 GB of disk space.

    -


    Please prove me wrong, but makes no sense to me, because the result is that these 1.9 GB is never used (or VMware) :-(

    In advance, VMware Fusion allocates approximately 1.9 GB whenever the virtual machine is started then in my opinion this runtime check is redundant and the audit should run only before you start the virtual machine.

    Anyone know how to move this bug to developers or solve the problem?

    It's very annoying not being able to use almost 2 GB of disk space :-(

    Thanks for all the relevant answers :-)

    This is not a Bug! and this is the expected behavior to avoid crashing on OS X and or damage to the system as a result of unexpectedly running out of space.

    If you are currently running disks tight on space you have a bigger problem then do what it's programmed to do my protect the stability of the system, because the user is not paying attention to the State of their own Fusion system.

    Free and maintain a suitable available space as required by the programs that you use, and how they are used.

    It's a result of error of the end user, because you shouldn't be filling your drives and should always maintain a reasonable percentage of free space.
