• VMware - player nat / dhcp settings

  Hi all

  I would like to ask you a few questions about nat and DHCP settings.

  I have instaled vmware player 5.0.2 build-1031769, I have try some tutorials how to extract or find vmnetcfg.exe but without success.

  Do you have any idea how to change NAT / DHCP settings...?

  On the other hand, I have configured my computer viirtual as 'hosting only' in the network tab, but I have not received all the ip addresses of Vmnet1...

  Thanks in advance

  VMware Player 5.x comes more with the editor of network virtual vmnetcfg.exe but it comes with and installs the vmnetui.dll and can be raised by running the following in a command prompt administrator from the VMware Player command working directory (or include the QPF of vmnetui.dll in the command line).

  rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone

• 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.

• Space disk in VMware player management and virtual machines

  I have VMware Player installed on a computer with Windows 7.  I installed VMware Player on the C drive where Windows resides. I have a VM installed, which is Ubuntu 10.4LTS.  My hard drive is 250 GB.  DRV is about 47GB and about 9 GB is free.  The rest of the hard drive is not allocated.

  If I install any addition of VM, looks like I may need to extend C to enlarge.  Or, if I add the partitions via the host OS, i.e. of Win 7, can I appoint a different partition during the installation of another virtual machine?

  I hope I have it clear.  If this isn't the case, please ask for clarification.

  Also, could I have installed VMware Player on one partition other than C

  When I initially installed it?

  You can uninstall VMware Player WITHOUT damaging your existing virtual machines.  Then you could go ahead and create a new partition and then re-install VMware Player, then move the virtual machines on the new partition and then reopen.

• 8.1 for Windows and VMware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776 "without Internet access.

  After updating my system Windows 8 Pro 8.1 two VMware (VMnet1 and VMnet8) network adapters are listed as 'Unidentified network, Public network' ' type of access: no access to Internet. I uninstalled VMware Player, reinstalled, and done a repair without change installation.  The result is when I run one of my Windows VMs they cannot connect to my network or host computer.  For example, in a Windows 7 VM "Network and sharing Center" the active network is displayed in the Public network and it is not stressed so I can't change it to private and enable sharing.

  I have also noticed that several articles about 8.1 and this kind of problem you suggest use modern PC Interface settings to change the network card for this problem, but which lists only map host of the PC, not the VMware adapters network. It of as if 8.1 does not recognize or even allow control of VMware cards - at least not when using the network settings of the modern graphical user interface.

  Halp!

  

  DOH!  Why didn't think of this?

  I had previously uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of VMware Player and yet still had the network problem. What fixed it was to re-run the installer of the player and select Repair. Who sets the network problem. Why didn't the new installed work? I guess he needs a couple of installs to do things.

• My attempts to run VMWare player v4 ends by, "VMWare player cannot be installed on this computer.

  Where is my VMWare

I'd be happier than a pig in the cool mud to fix this problem. Thank you for any assistance.

  Looks like a BIOS setting may have changed (in terms of virtualization).

  Unlikely a Windows problem.

  Uninstall VMware Player.  Restart the computer.  Download the latest version of VMware Player (save to your computer) and install it.  Restart the computer.  Try to run it.

• Cannot install VMware Player 6.0.2 when username contains apostrophe

  I tried to install VMware Player 6.0.2 in a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit o/s.

  I kept getting "Error in Script" (see image below).

  After some research, I found the cause of the problem.  This is because the user name contains an apostrophe.  In some countries, it is normal to have an apostrophe in the name, such as Joan of arc.  For the problem of confidentiality, I don't mention the true name in my case, so let's say it's Joan of arc.  In this problem, the path to "index.htm" is

  C:\users\Jeanne d'Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_xxxxxxx\index.htm

  Then I created another user name "Joan of Arc".  I used this new account to run Setup again and I didn't have the 'Script error '.  It is so clear to me that the apostrophe in user name (and therefore in the path of the file) has been the cause of the problem.

  

  I suspect that this problem can also occur for the installation of VMware Workstation.

  As a result of my post:

  This problem happens

  • VMware Player 6 and 7
  • VMware Workstation 10 and 11

  But it is FIXED in

  • VMware (Workstation) 12 player
  • VMware Workstation Pro 12

  Thumbs up!  VMware!

  

• VMware Player 6

  I apologize for the very basic question, but I was unable to locate the answer myself.

  Given that VMware Player is used for free for personal use, what are the differences between VMware Player 5 and VMware Player 6?

  What new features are introduced?

  There's the OS or feature not supported older?

• Manage virtual networks in vmware player on Linux Mint

  Hi all

  Can someone point out how manage virtual networks on the Vmware player on Ubuntu/Linux mint?

  It would have been more useful if you had included the VMware Player version and the version of the host operating system that you are using!

  Since you didn't say what version of VMware Player or a version of the host OS, I can only say what follows if applies to what I the test and this is VMware Player 5.0.2 under Ubuntu 13.04.

  In a Terminal, run the following command (Tip: copy / paste, as is, to avoid typos.):

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  Now to bring up the virtual network editor use the following command in a Terminal:

  sudo vmware-netcfg

  Note that you can get an error message similar to the following:

  (vmware-netcfg: #): IBUS-WARNING *: the owner of /home/$USER/.config/ibus/bus is not root! »

  This seems to be a bug , but I do not think that this will affect the actual use of the virtual network Editor.

• VMware Player 5 can not install on Win XP feedback tools

  I have VMware player 5.0.0 build-812388 running on Ubuntu 11.10 (core 3.0.0 - 26-generic). I use it to run a Windows XP Professional SP3 client.

  I used to have the VMware tools installed on this prompt, but after a recent update (I don't know which), I noticed that I was getting warning dialog boxes on my graphical configuration. I uninstalled VMware tools (via Add/Remove Programs) and reinstalled (via the player's Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools...), but it does not appear to be installed. There is no VMware Tools applet in the control panel and no icon in the status bar. I have tried different combinations of uninstall, reboot, reinstall, repair, etc., but he is still missing.

  How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

  VMware has removed the applet of the control panel and system Notification in VMware Player 5 and VMware Workstation 9 icon so that you see is normal and expected.  Some features of VMware Tools are available in the configurations of the Virtual Machine on the host side.

  How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

  If you have already uninstalled/reinstalled you don't need to do anything.  If you can drag and drop files between the computers in office then VMware Tools are installed and working.  Also if the unit and the VMware shared folders work (for supported operating systems) once again here are the signs that VMware Tools are installed and working.

• Virtual systems (under VMWare Player) have need of their own antivirus and firewall software?

  My host system is Windows 7 Home Premium.  I put in place of virtual systems in VMWare Player (4.0.2 build-591240) for Windows 2000 and Windows 8 CP (among others), and all this hard work.  The host has its own antivirus (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm more own Windows).  Network for virtual systems connections are bridged and all work very well to access internet and local network.  My question is: are the antivirus and firewall on the Windows 7 host sufficient or virtual systems also have their own antivirus and firewalls?

  Any system, physical or virtual, which had an Internet/network connectivity should be implemented on each system, appropriate security measures period!

• Running a VMware Player with server Via NAT

• VMWare Player and VLAN

  Hi all out there.

  I have a problem regarding virtual local networks and virtualization. The configuration is as follows. Our developers are about to get virtual machines with Linux (centos) guests on their desktop computers. Host machines are Windows 7 boxes with sufficient CPU, RAM and disk space. Each box has only one NIC installed and connected to the internal LAN. On this single cable Lan, there should be 2 VLANS:

  1. vLan id 100 for windows hosts (configured as default vLan on the switch ports)
  2. vLan id 199 for the machine virtual (different configuration for routing/firewall/proxy)

  The network for the virtual machine must be set to bridged, because making web development, developers must be able to access Web servers installed on the virtual machines via a browser.

  The original plan was to use VMware Player, install Linux, configure the vLan in the comments, and it works. But no package has left the virtual machine when you ping the default gateway of the vLan 199. To me, it seems that something is declining for all packages on vLan the vLan 199.

  The questions are:

  • VLANs are supported by VMware Player or workstation after all?
  • They are supported in a configuration like that?
  • How do we? Must be setup in Windows as well?

  Help would be very nice

  Greetings

  Joachim

  The default virtual network Editor is not installed with VMware Player and you will need to transform automatic bridging and define VMnet0 to use vLAN199 and then bridge network adapter to the Virtual Machine should work.

  For the workaround you can run VMware-player-* .exe - e c:\vmptmp from a command line and then search for the c:\vmptmp\network.cab file 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 and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player If you want easier access.  NOTE: It takes several minutes for the VMware-player-* .exe to extract all then be patient.

• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
