• Remove VMware completely when the installer fails - HOW?

  I had VMware Workstation 8 works fine on a 64-Bit machine of Windows 7.

  I bought 9 Workstation and tried to install it, and he says that he should uninstall version 8.

  Well, it failed.  Now, I can not install ANY version, version 7, 8 or 9, all versions.

  The installer is apparently unable to deal with an error to uninstall an earlier version. Why?

  [at this point, Monday, December 17, 2012, it is all fixed with VMware technical phone support. It involves several

  steps and a key was to use the utility Fixit from microsoft from here: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2438651/en-us

  and 1308 VMware knowledge base article http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1308 .

  Microsoft fixit scanner not found VMware, but she showed 'unknown' (or other?) and VMware

  technical support took the key to the article above of 1308

  {0D94F75A-0EA6-4951-B3AF-B145FA9E05C6} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

  Paste in the registry key when asked by the fixit utility

  {0D94F75A-0EA6-4951-B3AF-B145FA9E05C6}

  Who noted a mistake and fixed it.

  My options are:

  1 reinstall the Windows operating system and start from scratch (which will take a few days to catch up with installed programs).

  NOTE: DON'T DO THIS WITH THE SUPPORT OF VMWARE

  2. remove all vestiges of the previous installations of VMware so I can install without being told that the installer has found another version.

  NOTE: THIS WAS DONE BY THE TECHNOLOGY WITH THE HELP OF THEIR CONTROL PROGRAM REMOTE

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  They have the option "/ clean" on the installer, which does not work, but it must do what he pretended to do so, remove all previous keys and elements.

  What a VMware solution that fixed what well Setup obviously cannot fix. It should prepare my computer so it will NOT report versions of VMware if I can install two versions 7, 8, or 9.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  With the help of VMware support, they were able to completely remove VMware and install VMware 9. I'm going to

  to try to writeup that they did, but the solution took about 30 minutes and many find and remove the

  Directories of VMware.

  I now have version 9 installed and it works fine.

  Post edited by: jeff92677 - TO EXPLAIN THAT THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, AND THANKS to VMWARE for THE SOLUTION

  This feature was introduced in WS 7.
  Since then WS installers often think that older versions is present - and this happens even on systems that has never ever been before WS.

  On the issue of the port... This is normal. Most of the time it does not configure the port correctly during a first installation.
  You have installed Skype? -Make sure that remove you it temporarily.
  Then stop vmware - pass manually - change the
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd\proxy.xml
  -use an equivalent path for win7 of course - so that it uses the port you want.

  445

  Then restart vmware - pass and it works hopefully

• VMWare view 4 - not able to connect

  Hello

  I am evaluating vmware view4.0, I tested this through WAN, I had all the required ports open.

  I was struck with a problem,

  -I am able to connect to the login server and be able to see the office pool I configured.

  -J' I select and click on connect.

  -It opens a black screen, stays there for a while and closes.

  I have attached the connection broker logs instant.

  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  1. make sure port 50002 UDP and TCP are open on the two customer/guest.

  2. I mentioned video RAM on XP reviews in vCenter 32 MB.  You should turn off the virtual machine, make the change and then save for this change to take effect.

• VMWare Tools installed and not installed...

  3.5.0u4 ESX3i

  I created a Ubuntu VM. Then I added VMWare tools via the settings / installation/upgrade of VMware Tools

  (in the "status, if reported panel installation has succeeded).

  Yet, when I look in the summary of this Ubuntu VM tab, it says:

  VMware Tools: not installed

  Why is it (a power power off of the virtual machine does not change it)?

  What you were doing just before the guest system the VMware Tools CD .iso image file. On the host Windows installation should start automatically. For Linux, you will need to mount the CD, copy the files from there to the directory and use the .tar and .rpm to install the tools.

• Allows users not able to connect to the server through Vmware Player Flex

  Hi all

  I created a Horizon Vmware server with Flex. Created Windows Image and saved the VM in the Flex web console. The configured policy and gives the right to some windows domain users to use this Image.

  I created a group called "Mirageadmin" and added two users in this group. Mirageadmin belongs to a group of Administrators local and also added to the Administrators group in the console of Mirage . These two users can connexiona Horizon flex web console.

  My problem is that when the user right connect to the server through Vmware Player Flex, its list of username or password is incorrect, please try again. But the user name and password is correct. Later one of the user added to the Mirgaeadmin group policy gives right I. While this user can connect to Flex server via Vmware Player.

  
  

  1 should. users entitled be part of the local administrator group of the Flex server?

  2. do I need to add these users right somewhere in the console of mirage?
  

  Thanks for supporting.

  Hi all

  Turn history on security locally should be set in the server included users who try to connect via Vmware Player.

  Our GPO has been tighten to allow only to administrators and users authenticated to allow log on locally. Adds a new GPO to enable a group of users to log on locally, which solve the problem.

  The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

  feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

  regardless of this function.

  If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

  running vmware-config - tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make

  and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

  These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

  [Press the Enter key to continue]

  As Barney42 pointed out, this question comes with the new kernel 3.13.0 - 46. And indeed helped me to find a workaround:

  Tools can be patched manually. In vmhgfs.tar, inode.c d_alias should be replaced by d_u.d_alias put it back to the tar and then recompile tools.

  Here is a script that does this (tested on ubuntu 32 bit 14.04, vmware workstation on a windows host 11.1):

  #!/bin/sh -x
cd /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source
tar xf vmhgfs.tar
grep -q d_u.d_alias vmhgfs-only/inode.c && echo "already patched" && exit 0
sed -i -e s/d_alias/d_u.d_alias/ vmhgfs-only/inode.c
cp -p vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.tar.orig
tar cf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only
vmware-config-tools.pl -d -m

  NOTE: This makes incompatible tools with older versions of the kernel, i.e. 3.13.0 - 45.

  (Original post at askubuntu)

  However, @VMware-team, please do run again out of the box, or submit a patch for the Linux kernel. You are a large business, should be no problem.

• VMware Guest works with IPv4 and not IPv6 - ideas everything?

  Well, have a little patience with me. I have a very complicated setup which works perfectly with IPv4, but does not work with IPv6. I hope that one of you superstars can help me to understand how to enable IPv6. Here are the basic configuration:

  
  

  Mac mini:
  

  • Mac mini (end 2012) Mavericks 10.9.5 and VMware Fusion 7.1.0 Server
    • A KDLINKS up one1 account USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter is installed. It is functionally identical to all other brands of USB3/Gigabit Ethernet, which is based on the 6 AX88179 chipset adapter; which is the latest version.
    • (I have another identical USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter, still in the box, do not set, in case this might help the solution.)
  • The most recent 6 Mac driver is installed in the Mac mini, downloaded from ASIX. (The driver on the driver of the KDLINKS Web site is a little older).

  Internet connection:

  • Our Internet connection is a regular cable modem. The cable modem is a simple bridge, Ethernet cable. He gets a public (Internet) IP address on the ISP using DHCP Ethernet interface, as you can imagine.

  VMware Fusion Guest - a firewall device:

  • The VMware Fusion guest is a firewall device. Here's its network configuration:
    • The internal interface is bridged to the Mac mini integrated Ethernet adapter. It has a private IP (10-net). It serves as a one-stop shop for all of your home LAN.
    • The external interface is bridged to the USB/Ethernet adapter. The device of host firewalls Gets the address public Internet IP from the ISP via DHCP.

  Mini Mac Network Configuration:

  • Network Configuration Mac mini (OS X System Preferences network 10.9.5,):
    • The Mac mini integrated Ethernet is configured with a fixed IP on the LAN private address and is configured to use the private IP address of the firewall device of comments as the gateway and DNS server.
    • Adapter USB/Ethernet of the Mac mini is defined as:
      • Configure IPv4: Off
      • Advanced... Configure IPv6: Link-local only
      • The goal is to ensure that the Mac mini can be reached or attacked from the Internet. All Internet traffic should be a device of host firewalls.

  Totally works with IPv4.

  Surprisingly, this all works with IPv4 without any problem whatsoever.

  
  

  IPv6 taken in charge by the provider of Internet services and tested with Time Capsule:
  

  There is no problems with IPv6 when I use an Apple Time Capsule as the firewall / router between the home network and the Internet, using the same cable modem. It is easy to configure, and IPv6 works inside the LAN House and all as well go to the servers on the Internet that support IPv6. Tested, working, as expected.

  I'd do it want to use this device to host VMware Fusion as our firewall router firewalls House for IPv4 and IPv6, the time Capsule not.

  THE PROBLEM:

  The device of host firewalls cannot acquire an IPv6 address of the ISP. He obtains an IPv4 address, but not an IPv6 address.

  THE QUESTION:

  What can I do to make the apparatus of host firewalls acquires an address IPv6, the same way as did the Time Capsule?

  • The Mac mini (host) does not expose its interfaces directly to the Internet.
  • The Mac mini (host) would carry its IPv6 Internet traffic via the comments, the same as its IPv4 Internet traffic firewall application.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  I solved my problem. It was a setting of configuration of the firewall of comments and had nothing to do with VMware Fusion. Here are the details, in case others have the same problem:

  Comments firewall device has been configured as a gateway IPv4, but not as an IPv6 gateway. As a result, the firewall received a single IPv6 address of the ISP. It was a 128, of course.

  Once I enabled the 'IPv6 Default Gateway' setting for the interface external unit of firewall of comments (which translates as the USB3/Ethernet interface to the cable modem) and rebooted the modem cable and firewall, the firewall has asked an IPv6 network block instead (a 64 network). After that, everything worked as expected.

  I know that nobody has answered this detailed query, but I know that a lot of people read it. Thanks for taking a peek. I hope this solution helps others.

• VMWare 4.1.4 stopped working after the upgrade to Yosemite

  Hello

  I bought VMWare Fusion 4.1.4 a few years ago to work on linux and was satisfied with the experience. It has excellent performance and works perfectly.

  I stopped using it for a while, and my mac had updates to Yosemite in the meantime.
  Now that I need to run it again, it does not start and I have an error message saying that this version of the software cannot open on this version of the operating system.

  Do to restore the functionality of my VMWare?

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  Hello thread974

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  I'm sorry to inform you that Fusion 4.x does not work under OS X Yosemite, as you have already discovered by yourself.

  fusion 7.x supports Yosemite and you will be able to run your merge existing 4.x of the Virtual Machines using Fusion 7.

  If you want to test the latest version of the Fusion to see if it is worth your spending, you can install and run a fully functional version of 30 days before actually committing to spending anything.

  After 30 days, you purchase a license to modify the merger installed in an unlimited version.

  For the assessment of the merger's direct download link

  hope this helps,

  I am running VMware Player on a host Ubuntu 14.04, Win 7 pro x 64 comments.  When I start the client OS VMWare gives me this warning

  

  So I want to allow the use of the "reserved host RAM" option instead of playing with the pagefile, but setting told me to doesn't seem to exist in VMware Player

  

  Is there something I can add to the VMX file to enable this option?

  The OP said "I'm under VMware Player on a Ubuntu 14.04 host" so the file name and path you mentioned is not applicable.

  @LukeJS host on a Ubuntu (Linux) from the file name won't get the .ini extension and will be simply called the config and will be parked at/etc/vmware /.  So with the machine virtual shutdown is not suspended and VMware Player closed then a Terminal used the following command.

  sudo nano/etc/vmware/config

  Then add the following line.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  It is essentially the same parameter that gets the value of the UI of VMware Workstation preferences for submission in response to the message that despite the instructions contained in the message does not exist in the VMware Player preferences user interface.

• Fatal error VMware Workstation: (svga) Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) - VMware keeps crashing and our controls engineer was not able to understand, can someone help to solve?

  
  So I'm a summer at a paper factory and my boss, the engineer of controls has not been able to understand why VMware Workstation on a certain laptop hangs. I tried to create the log file I see posted the number of threads, but what I have is a compressed file which doesn't seem to have the info I've seen... or at least not in the same format. So I'm a complete newbie to VMware, and I searched the knowledge base and could not find any direct matches, at - it ready to help a newb? Really appreciate it and it would really help me as far as my training goes. TQ ahead!

  Just in case where I did maybe right I have attached two support files that I created.

  I noticed that many people have the same problem with my computer when their computer/laptop has an AMD/ATI video card. Here's all I did and I got now work stations facing up and running for a week without any apparent problem

  1 back up your Virtual Machines a safe place and uninstall the workstation

  2 uninstall the AMD/ATI drivers

  3 reinstall the drivers

  4 reinstall the workstation

  5 follow the instructions below exactly to make a registry change

  a. Open regedit.exe and backup the registry, if you don't know how just google it is incredibly easy to make and the instructions are abundant so I don't post them here.

  b. open Notepad and enter the following text, make sure it is correct that the registry change can be risky, but if you enter the text exactly as it is below, you shouldn't have any problems because I have none. I take no responsibility if you have errors after this regedit so do at your own risk. Be sure and enter all the notebook INSTRUCTIONS below. DO NOT WRITE THE INSTRUCTIONS IN NOTEPAD IN YOUR NOTEPAD FILE. Everything below.

  NOTEBOOK INSTRUCTIONS

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\DCI]

  "Timeout" = dword:00000014

  TdrDdiDelay "= dword:00000014".

  "TdrDelay" = dword:00000014

  "TdrLevel" = dword:000000

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]

  TdrDdiDelay "= dword:00000014".

  TdrDelay "= dword:00000014".

  TdrLevel "= dword:000000".

  END NOTEBOOK INSTRUCTIONS

  c. then navigate to the file and click on Save AS, when you arrive at the location you want to save the file, click the type box and change text to all documents, and then name the file regardless of your choice and add the .reg at the end. Once you have saved the file to its location and double click it to open it, windows will ask if you want to merge with the registry click Yes, windows will be also alert you on editing the registry and if you don't know that you want to try it go ahead and do it. So far, it has worked great for me.

  For more information about editing the registry, I used click here

• VMware Tools for ESXi not in running and not installed

  (nested) Tools of ESXi does not.

  I installed an ESXi 5.5 nested on a physical and installed 5.5 ESXi host tools on the virtual ESXi5.5.

  However both the client c# as the Web Client report not (not running, not installed) tools.

  When I type 'list of software esxcli vib', I see the esx-tools-for-esxi in the list.

  I have attached the vmware.log for the nested ESXi, I use nesting for several years only and had no problems.

  Thanks in advance

  You are hiding the fact that you run in a virtual machine, if the tools do not start.  Shut down the virtual computer, remove this line from your configuration file and restart:

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = true

• VMWare Fusion 6, after upgrade cannot copy and paste between virtual machines, desktop missing files

  I upgraded from VMWare Fusion 5 to 6, and after the upgrade I can't copy/paste between virtual machines. In addition, the files that are on my desktop Mac are now missing and inaccessible on my Windows desktop.

  Tools update or reinstall?

• Not able to mount remote VM VMware-mount

  What vddk version do you use?

  I had similar problems with one of the later - if this is the latest version - using a previous one fixed all problems

• VMWare Fusion 6 crashes on 10.8.5 during installation

  Any suggestions for successful installation of 6 of VMWare Fusion on a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.5 (beta 7) or on an iMac running 10.9 (beta 7).  Blocks both machines.  Not a wise way of software for the new OS version when they do not work on the BONE in circulation.

  Hi mrfearless47,

  You meet with the accident described in the other thread?  Fusion 6 Professional hangs at startup

  If this isn't what you see there, could you please attach one of crash reports to an answer here in the forums?  Launch Applications > utilities > Console and find the diagnostic report VMware Fusion.  Attach the file by selecting "Use the Advanced Editor" in the upper right corner, then choosing the below Browse... button; Please do not copy - paste!

  Thank you
