• Download the latest VMwareTools for player and workstation

  I work with VMware player and workstation on an isolated environment.  Where can I download the latest VMwareTools for player v4, v5 and v8 workstation?

  Thank you.

  I think not for VMware for users to manually download the VMware Tools for VMware Player outside the program and VMware Workstation comes with and install the ISO Images however VMware tools, you can access the files from the program download and installs from the Repository of CDS.

• 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.

• Cannot install VMWare Player, workstation or anything like that

  All appear to be the same way with a message like:

  

  However I've checked that the file exists and that I can access. What is the problem?

  I had VMWare Player 6.0.5 and could not install/update VMWare tools. So, I suspended my operating system prompted and rebooted VMPlayer. He told me that there is a new VMWare Workstation something 10.x and I wanted to upgrade to it. Okay, of course. Downloaded the update and tried to install. Said to uninstall VMWare Player 6.0.5. Being suspicious, I went and downloaded VMWPlayer 6.0.5 where he screwed up the installation of Workstation 10.0. Of course, he did. So I tried to install Player 6.0.5 so I could return to my suspended VM. In my opinion, what he said that I could not install because I haven't restarted. So I rebooted. Now, I can't install Player 6.0.5 or Workstation 10.0.0 or whatever it is. They all fail on the same way saying the cannot find a .msi file I can find and access.

  Help!

  BTW, you guys have far too much product and names making it confusing. What should I use? Player? Workstation? Spear? vCenter, Fusion. The list goes on and. Do not try to give me the list of "well it's for this reason and this other thing". The point is there are too many products and it is too complicated. If you want to tell me what the structure of the product is just limit it to the product I should use. I have a Windows 7 box and you want to run Ubuntu in a VM desktop - that's all...

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Please note that this is a forum for peer support and therefore, it is mainly users of VMware help other VMware users who make up the bulk of this forum. It is VMware employees responding in time in time, but in your case here (Note: VMware employees are recognizable because they have a small 'vm' next to their name logo)

  With regard to your current number. If you install VMware Workstation, then you have also installed VMware Player next.

  Even after the expiry of VMware Workstation, you can continue to use the free VMware Player.

  Hope this helps,

• VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player

  I have a simple question: what is the difference between VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player.

  I have 2 PCs at home and have Windows Vista Home Edition and Windows XP Pro, I want to install Windows 98, to play older games.

  VMWare has free download, will this work? what I need?

  THX

  I used the two products but I prefer VMware products for my virtualization needs, which neither include playing games.

  In all sincerity, if you already have Windows 98 SE and the game sitting there, then I was going just to download VMware Player and test it.  You could probably do that more quickly then go through all that.

  If the Alien vs Predator game talk you is indicated to Aliens versus Predator (video game) and its system requirements, then I would Imaging VMware Player, that's all you need to give it a go and if you don't like not the performance or you can't find a VMware Player fairly easy to work with then try Microsoft virtualization product.

• 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
  Copyright: (c) 1998-2010 VMware, Inc..
  Size: 3.06 MB
  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.

• I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?

  Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.

  Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?

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

  Matt

  If,

  If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.

  Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

• Error opening image: 'it is a VM Workstation ACE Edition. Please open it in VMware Player. »

  I have a Virtual Machine that:

  1 has been created in Workstation 6, has worked well for months and left in a suspended state

  2. upgrade to Workstation 7 and the image has been loaded in 7

  3. I've never used picture 7, decided to go back to 6 when I found that to upgrade the payment required

  4 uninstalled V7, reinstalled V6 and now I can not fire up the image. I get the error: "this is a VM Workstation ACE Edition. Please open it in VMware Player. »

  I followed the instructions in the post:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/933523#933523

  However, this does not have the problem. I still get the same error.

  My host OS is Windows XP

  The image is Linux Suse 10 and contains data that took me weeks to prepare...

  I've never had installed ACE so I don't know how it happened to active ACE (I received this machine from a colleague who left and checked its licenses and it doesn't have a license for ACE - could be downloaded there a trial, but I have never used and do not know if it had existed before.)

  I tried to install the first instance of ACE but it looked like a huge amount of work to get just my picture that is running again...

  It is possible that the version of 6 I have re-installed (6.0.4) is older than what was on this box before you start this mess?

  Which would cause this error, ACE?

  Anyone know how I can get this thing to a working state?

  Try Workstation 6.5, which is a free upgrade to Workstation 6.0.4.  At some point you upgraded the virtual equipment of the virtual machine.  The virtual hardware Workstation 7.0 is compatible with Workstation 6.5, but it is not compatible with Workstation 6.0.

• VMware Workstation 6 usable in VMware Player 2 images?

  We have a few licenses of workstation (6.5.0 build 118166) and I built a few images for other users who should have the player (2.0.5 build 109488). Unfortunately, it seems that we cannot use images created with the workstation. When we tried to open the images with the reader, we had 'is not a valid configuration file. File "C:\".... VMX' was created with a VMware product with more features than this version of VMware Player and can not be used with this version of VMware Player. "Failed to open the configuration file" C:\... vmx. I saw in a similar position that there is no question of using images with a player created by workstation...? I tried to reinstall the VMware tools in the image, but the problem remains the same. Could someone explain to me? Thank you.

  Fix vmplayer version 2.5. 2 or safe as version 6.0 compatible virtual machines.

  Or - (Advanced) edit the vmx file so that it matches

• What is the difference between VMware Player and VMware Workstation?

  I'm new here. I don't know what the right place to post this. My question as the title. Please guide me.

  With VMware Workstation you can create new virtual machine with VMware player, you can't.

• Install ACS 5.3 on VMware Player?

  I get an error when you install ACS on VMware Player (not VMware Workstation).  The error is "sda drive specified in the score command that does not exist."  I found this: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/201443 which says to use the LSI instead of BusLogic adapter.  The problem is, I don't have this option when creating a new HARD drive or when I go into the advanced settings after you create the new HARD drive.

  Is it possible to install ACS 5.3 in the free version, VMware Player?  Maybe there's some magic .vmx that someone found...

  Thank you!

• Help, please! -Error fatal VMware Player: NOT_IMPLEMENTED bora\lib\pollDefault\pollDefault.c:3914

  Hi all

  Since I installed VMWare, I have had problems with my VM. It crashes about twice a day with the error below. Sometimes, it's a different vthread crashing, but it's still the pollDefault NOT_IMPLEMENTED error. I'm at my wit's end and could use very little help.

  Fatal error VMware Player: (vthread-10)

  NOT_IMPLEMENTED bora\lib\pollDefault\pollDefault.c:3914

  My host OS is Windows 10 Home x 64 I upgraded Windows 8, when I bought my laptop. The guest operating system running Windows 7. I'm using VMWare Workstation Player 12. I was previously using Workstation 11 upgraded to 12 player in hopes that would resolve the error. Of course, this thread shows that the problem remains.

  Attached are my journal and vmsupport ZIP file.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Well, I found myself just switch to VirtualBox instead. Have not fallen since.
