• VMware Workstation 11 installation directory

  Greetings,

  I recently downloaded vmware workstation 11 64-bit path and installed on Windows 8.1, he moved to the path ' C:\program files (x 86)-"I don't know if its installation correct directory or not, but it is the default path. I ask this because especially the 64-bit application will move into "C:\program files", my computer works fine, but I uninstalled the thought of vmware workstation to choose the 64-bit version and enabled VT in BIOS and tried to reinstall, but sitill that it points to x 86 path. My laptop uses the Intel i7 with 16 GB of RAM.

  With respect,

  Guillet.

  Hi smgopinath,

  Behavior you saw (WS installed under "C:\program files (x 86) \") is as expected. Workstation UI is a 32-bit application and is installed by default in "C:\program files (x 86) \".

  So just, do not hesitate to use the workstation under the default path.

  Welcome to the community,

  rather to extract the installation package and run the .msi file, you must run the .exe directly file with the permissions of the place. Please take a look at Re: SERIALNUMBER of VMware Workstation 8 property does not to see if that helps also with version 9.

• VMware Workstation - Vista installation stops at "Completing Installation"

  I use VMware Workstation v6.5.3 build 685404.

  I try to install Vista business, an iso image located on my computer on a host machine virtual with 1024MB Ram and 16 GB on HDD.

  However, the installation will stop at the stage of the "end of the installation.  3 points after the words "end of installation" continues to scroll, but the installation never goes beyond this point.

  Any help in getting this to install entirely would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  16 GB of hard drive space seems very small. The amount of RAM, 1024 Mb, should be sufficient.

  How long the installation stall right there?

  What is the configuration of the host computer? (OS, memory Ram, size of hard drive,...)

• Workstation 8: Upload failed: Curl error: could not resolve the host name

  I have workstation 8 connected to our ESX host, it shows all the machines and allows me to connect to their end. But when I try to copy/paste/drag and drop a local virtual machine over there he said "Vmware workstation 8: Upload failed: Curl error: could not resolve the host name.

  Someone at - he fell on this or have any ideas why this would be. I think that if it does not find the host name, I could not navigate or connect to my Virtual Center.

  Hello

  Whats is your ESX host name? I would recommend using with full ESX host name during the connection. You can connect to the ESX host using the host name, but to download the VM in this topic, you will need to use FULL of ESX host of domain name when connecting.

  Please try to do it and let us know if it solves your problem.

  Thank you

• Installation of VMWare Workstation 11.1.0 on Win 8.1 is THAT MSI will fail with the error "could not write value vmware - tray.exe for \software\microsoft\windows'currentversion\run-cles.

  Hi all

  The MSI failed with the error message as "could not write value vmware - tray.exe in \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows'CurrentVersion\Run key.  Make sure you have fufficient access to that key, or contact your support staff' while trying to install vmware workstation 11.1.0 in windows 8.1.
  I tried to call the installer with run as administrator but it does not help, please suggest me overcome this error.

  Hi Vincentand welcome to the VMware communities!

  This error indicates that you have some security software (antivirus or antimalware software) that protects the part of the registry.  Can you try to temporarily disable all security software on your host computer and see if the installation can move forward?

  See you soon,.

• Failed installation of VMware Workstation 9 on new install of win 7

  I looked at the discussion of installation has failed VMware Workstation 9, verified that I am administrator, cleaned folder and looked at the registry and I'm still having problems.  The name of the account used is not Admin/Admin or anything close.

  This is a new installation today of windows 7 with all updates applied.  Avast is my anti-virus software.  The behavior does not change with it running or disabled.

  I think that the problem to be that KLM/Sofware/VMware Inc. does not appear.  I checked that I can create keys.

  "In my installs I've seen: message" failure of the MSI MSI "and once"the MSI MSI failed. "  Authorization of VMware (VMAuthService) failed to start service.

  Here are the logs from my last install.

  Can someone provide me with more information about the problem and how to get this installed?

  Thank you

  Finally got this resolved after many setup logs sent to VMware.  I came across the registry problems and VMAuthdServices fail to start due to software AV.

  In short, following http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1031302 (KB1031302) is important as well as some comments from howellrj.  Here's what I did in detail and why during my various tests of installation:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1031302

  1 I used the only account on the system, which did not have a name as owner, admin, administrator, which has administrator privileges

  2 wiped % TEMP % whenever I made an attempt to install

  3 MS KB 942288 not recommended for Win7 so I jumped

  4 no earlier version of VMware Workstation has been installed on the system, so I jumped

  5 ran http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651/en-us (MS KB2438651) whenever I made an attempt to install.  He has never found anything wrong

  6 was not running WinXP so I jumped

  7 has made run msconfig to disable all services and should follow https://support3.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=1334 (Avast KB1334) to disable Avast self protection mode.  Even with Avast protection auto mode disabled and all the disabled Avast shields were always running and prevent.  The only way to clear the checkpoint was to remove Avast completely.

  8 I ran sfc/scannow before each installation to be sure.  No problems have ever been found.

  So, here is what I did to get the software installed successfully:

  An item copied to my system

  1 AV Installer on my system

  2 use FixIt of MS KB 2438651

  Disconnected the network B

  C restart the system with network not connected

  D removed Avast

  E to restart the system with network not connected

  1 erase TEMP

  2 Ran FixIt utility of MS KB 2438651

  3 ran sfc/scannow

  F install VMware Workstation

  G restart the system

  H check VMware Workstation starts

  I install Avast

  J stop the system

  K connecting to the network

  L reboot the system with connected network

  M update Avast

  N reconfigure Avast

• Any Installation of Vmware Workstation failed in my machine, why? See the details

  

  Hey guys, I'm trying to install vmware workstation 11,10 even though 9, but unfortunately it shows this kind of error every time.

  then I try to install from appdata/local/temp, but it shows the error of capture4... I tried many things to fix this... but I failed...

  So guys help me please install... sorely lacking...

  is my laptop config: core i5 - 3230M, ram - 4 GB os-win7 64 bit sp1...

  need help please...

  Welcome to the community,

  the problem is probably caused by the apostrophe in the name of the folder of the user. Try at each logon with a different user (temporary) account, or change the temp/tmp environment variable to point to a different directory (existing), for example, "C:\TEMP".

• installation of vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 10 error

  After you install vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 10 it gets error and restart. Is vmware workstation 6.5 support windows 10? FAILED TO INSTALL. vmware workstation 6.5 on windows 8, 8.1 and 10 support. ALL SUPPORT. I still don't understand...

  VMware Workstation 6.x do not support Windows 10 and will never support Windows 10.

  VMware Workstation 6.x reached "end of support" four years, October 1, 2011: Matrix.pdf product lifecycle

  We produce updates for release until its date of "end of support".  A product may not work properly with host OSes, processors or comments OSes that are not compatible with the product, especially the things that have been published after the date of "end of support".  We put a huge amount of effort to ensure that new hardware and operating systems works with each new major release of VMware Workstation, but we cannot go back and update any previous version of product to add support for all hardware and operating systems more recent.  If we tried to do this, VMware Workstation cost much more that it is today, simply because of the amount of work required to maintain!

  You need to upgrade your installation of VMware Workstation to something more recent, or downgrade your host operating system to a version compatible with VMware Workstation 6.5.

  I hope this helps!

  The MSI 'C:\Users\Ethan\AppData\Local\Temp\VMware_1422579427\vmwareworkstation_x64.msi' failed.

  Hi etnguyen03etnguyen03,.

  Here are 3 useful links when Workstation Setup error occurs on Windows.

  It will be useful.

  VMware KB: Cleaning after incomplete uninstall on a Windows host

  VMware KB: Troubleshooting a MSI error when a VMware product or installation of tools

  Need to reinstall Windows Installer in Windows 7 - Microsoft Community

  Given that you've tried the KB 1031302 and 1308 KB, the third link may be more useful.

  According to the answer in the third link:

  Please clean the related keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

  Check the following registry key and clean all entries in the key, you will find:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

  • Fedora is not a host for VMware Workstation/Player-supported operating system.  Note that although not officially supported as a host nevertheless operating system I run it under Fedora 20, but with the stock kernel.
  • I do not think that the 3.13.4 kernel is still supported, even on a supported host OSes.
  • Take a look at: VMware modules & core 3.13

• 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.

  Then restart vmware - pass and it works hopefully

• VMware Workstation failed to mount the physical disk 10TB

  VMware workstation or any other product vmware does support more than 2 TB of physical disks?

  I am trying to connect a 5 of 10 TB raid enclosure and mount it on my ubuntu vmware workstation machine. The common error that I receive is when mounting the reader on ubuntu and I think it might have something to do with the size of the file.
  I am running vmware workstation 12 in windows 10.
  The disk is taken offline in windows and I'm under WS as an administrator.

  The official version said that WS allows only virtual up to 8 TB of disk.

  According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
  Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
  I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
  So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
  Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
  I think that then it will work.
  Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
  To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
  Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

• Installation of VMWare Workstation 11 freezes with gray screen!

  Hello

  I know this is a very known issue, but difficult to solve, I can't install VMWare Workstation V11 (tried with the old version 8, the same) since as soon as I click Setup, I have a gray screen and installation seems suspended it.

  Tried the same thing with VMWare Player, same result, even with older versions...

  No way to close the gray screen, unless you kill the process.

  My case is laptop Thinkpad T510, native W7 64-bit, processor Intel i5, 4 GB ram, Java utility installed and 100% updated, Nvidia GPU, nothing strange.

  Microsoft Security essential only running, no other AV or firewall...

  I tried to save two files reading autour on this community, but this does not solve the problem.

  I see not what is a well known problem and it is absurd does not have a way to solve it on VMWare...

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Hi all

  problem solved right and - in my case - was a strange key with a small '' L '' name to cancel here:

• Installation of Windows Server 2003 on vmware workstation 9

  Hello

  I try to install windows server 2003 R2 x 64 edition as a guest OS on vmware workstation 9. But it gives me the time hard the same installation.

  First I had the

  "found no hard drives installed in your computer error.

  I was able to fix this by downloading it pilot vmware scsi. Now I get NTLDR is missing, restart the computer.

  
  

  I have install windows OS was frank. Anyone faced this problem. Please advise me? I have 2 CD (Cd1 and Cd2) of Windows server 2003 edition.

  
  

  Any help is appreciated

  
  

  Thanks in advance
  

  
  

  1 you shouldn't have to download all the drivers for the vHDD, as LSI Logic drivers are included in Windows Server 2003.  In other words, you have not selected correct SCSI (LSI Logic) controller.

  Now I get NTLDR is missing, restart the computer.

  Make sure that the disk is disconnected.
