  We have successfully installed the same version of VMWare on the same model of computer (acer aspire X 3990) on windows 7 too, it worked like a charm (even without 'COMMON_DOCUMENTS' set env variable).

  I tried different things:

  -no firewall, no antivirus

  -run as administrator

  -define a valid common env var documents

  None of these things have been successful.

  Hello and welcome

  I'll try this...
  Open regedit as an administrator
  find the key VMware, Inc. - on 32-bit hosts which is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.
  It has a subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\Installer\VMware workstation
  with a DATASTORE_PATH subkey that uses a value like "G:\\shared-vms".

  If you set to a path that fits your needs, the installation can run.

  While you're there... Check the permissions on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.
  VMware Workstation installers like to mess up the permissions for this key

• I have a problem starting up a Windows XP Pro Machine virtual Windows 8 host system (which has VMware Workstation 10.1).

  I am new to the virtual machines.  For several months I've been running a Windows XP Virtual Machine in an old machine of Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 7.0.  The hard drive is having some problems at times, so I thought that I could move the virtual machine on a new computer that has an OS 8.1 Windows and VMware Workstation 10.  For example, on the Windows 7 machine, I copied the directory with all the * .vm files and pasted into the machine to Windows 8. But when I tried to start VMware Workstation 10 in Windows 8 machine, I got the message "this virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware."  I went to the knowledge base and used the solution described here: I've deleted the lines of three 'policy' of the .vmx file and added the suffix .ancien to the .vmpl file, which actually disabled.  Now, when I try to start the virtual machine, the black screen appears with the VMware logo in the Center and everything seems fine, but Windows XP starts.  And logo VMware guard churning away as in a continuous loop.  It is not easy to stop.  The only way to stop VMware is via the Task Manager or restart the machine.

  What must I do to get the Windows XP Pro VM to run in the new machine?

  VMWare technical support suggested that I have disable 3D acceleration (VM > settings > view and uncheck the box 3D graphics acceleration).  The virtual machine starts now with some minor problems, but it is usable.  But by closing accel 3D turns, in the words of the Technical Support Engineer, David, that there is "a problem with the graphics card not imitate or through its capacity to the virtual machine.  In other words do not support to the VM guest 3D acceleration. "My next step is to make sure that I have the updated driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adapter.

  Minor problems are:

  (1) the virtual machine works best in screen mode reduced.  There are a few problems speed mode full-screen.

  (2) the VM will still work after switching on of the host.  But after execution of the virtual machine, if power you the virtual machine and the release of VMware workstation, then later, start the workstation, the virtual machine will power not.

  To turn it on again you must out of VMware Workstation, disconnect the host machine and then reopen it in one.

• Poor performance in VMWare Workstation 10 comments VM, score on memory Windows experience index is low

  Specification of the host is A10-5800 AMD CPU & 8 GB DDR3 - 1600 RAM(dual-channel), running VMware workstation 10 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1. WEI (Windows experience index) score on memory is 7.3.

  Comments is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1. VMware tool has been installed. The WEI score on memory is only 4.5. I can feel the difference when you work in the guest, because of the bad performance RAM problem.

  Some way to optimize the performance of comments?

  Can I assume that the customer has more than 960 MB and less than 1.5 GB of memory?  The more possible memory under-score with less than 1.5 GB memory is 4.5.

  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.

• How to change VMware Server 2 in VMware Workstation?

  People,

  Hello. I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 host. Then, I created a virtual machine and install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system. I installed some application programs in the Windows Server 2003 operating system, and has done a lot of work into them. Everything works successfully for some time.

  Because VMware Server 2 does not support Windows 7 as host operating system. Strange thing can happen anytime. While I work in Guest OS Win2K3, the connection is suddenly lost. VMware Server 2 home page can not be displayed anymore. The virtual machine and the Win2K3 comments is no longer accessible.

  I have to install VMware Workstation that supports Windows 7 as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system. So, I have 2 questions:

  First of all, if I uninstall VMware Server 2 on Windows 7, does it affect the virtual machine that supports the Windows Server 2003 OS?  Everything, including the OS Winn2K3 and its application programs, will be lost?

  Second, if I install VMware Workstation in Windows 7, can the Guest OS Windows Server 2003 be transferred from VMware Server 2 VMware Workstation?

  People can help answer these 2 questions?

  If uninstall VMware Server 2 on Windows 7 and its Guest OS Win2K3 will be lost, I'll lose a lot of time and work!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can uninstall vmware server without any problems and you will not lose your vm.

  Anyway just for more security you can make a backup of the virtual machine before you uninstall vmware server 2. Just backup files of the virtual machine. Then you can uninstall the server and install workstation

  After the workstation installation, you would be able to run the virtual machine in workstation, simply add the virtual machine to the workstation inventory, pointing to the .vmx files for the virtual machine.

  In any case if you can not run the virtual machine, you can use vmware converter to perform the conversion between server and workstation. It is a good tool and it does not hurt to learn how to use it

  Hope this helps you.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• VMWARE Workstation or ESXi

  I currently run VMWARE Workstation on my Windows XP host computer. I have a laboratory facility 5 machine Windows active directory in an environment "TEAM."

  It is soon time to expand my lab at 7 machines and want some advice on what I should do next. I was going to one of the 2 courses.

  1. update my PC by replacing the host OS 32-bit to a 64 bit OS. Get a more powerful CPU and go to 6 GB of RAM. I'm still worried about the disk i/o, however many machines with what I have all my guests running on a single hard drive. If anyone cares to elaborate on the performance by running that this many machines off 1 disc it would be greatly appreciated.

  2. get the material needed to create an ESXi whitebox. I really don't know much about the capacity or features of ESXi. I guess the main thing I want to know is that you can configure a function of 'The TEAM' as in VMWARE Workstation. I find this very handy feature.

  If I decide to build an ESXi server, is installed in a VM guest in workstation for practice? Is this desirable?

  From what you say in this thread, I think I agree with NWhiley. Stick to the workstation and add to your current HW configuration. I would definitely add additional hard disks, maybe even an external storage array. The outer table has a great performance insofar as, if you decide to go the route of ESXi to a later date, it will be easy to take your storage with you space. This will be your least expensive option (in terms of money & learning curve) and does not get to ESXi in the future. It's one of the beauties of virtualization, you can grow in stages

• Update Windows 10 November (10586 aka 1511): bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype off, but VMware Workstation does not start VMs with conflict of Hyper-V

  Hi all

  I upgraded from Windows 10 Windows 10 November updated this morning.

  I have the Hyper-V role is installed and use it from time to time, but bcdedit to configure the boot loader to disable Hyper-V by hypervisorlaunchtype power off.

  This technique has worked with 10 Windows and VMware Workstation and I could start and run virtual machines

  Since I did the upgrade, I can't start VM with this standard message "VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible"

  I am running VMware Workstation 10, but suspect that this problem also exists with later versions.

  Everyone knows about this problem?

  Someone at - he found a solution?

  I'm willing to fork over $150 for 12 workstations to solve this problem, but I want to know with certainty that it is circumventing my problem.

  Thanks for that.

  Uninstallation and reinstallation of the hyper-v feature, following the upgrade of Windows Windows 10 November 10 update solved the problem.

  I still need to run the following command to disable the Hyper-V technology

  bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype

  Thanks to everyone for their help.

• Problem installing VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012

  Hello

  I have problems when trying to install VMWare Workstation on a Server Windows 2012. Windows Server is Amazon EC2 environment and a generic image extended release.

  The problem is that the installtion process fails because of "Hyper-V" during installation, but after investigating the option "Remove roles and features" I can see that it is not installed.

  Is there any fixes for this issue?

  I enclose three screenshots for you pleasure.

  Regards, Ray...

  Hello Ray,

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.

  You run an EC2 instance that has just 615 MB memory installed?

  It's kind of a weird for a host, much too low for Amazon memory configuration, even be profitable.

  I think that your server is running UNDER Hyper-V, for example. It is probably a Virtual Machine.

  You can easily check that yourself by running the script from this site:

  How Hyper-V to: detect if you are inside a virtual machine

  If it's a Hyper-V virtual computer then I don't think you can install VMware Workstation on the virtual machine and run the nested clients.

  You could do the opposite (invited running hyper-V in a workstation virtualized on vSphere) but is not very fast.

  As you have no control over which platform virtualization Amazon use for their windows servers, I'm afraid you will have to go for a dedicated server instead of a virtual machine.

  Hope this helps,

• VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Ouch. I just started to do some Win Phone 8 and development Win, and all simulators are needed for development.

  This means that a dev to Win8 may only work on their host... I'm sure it would work in a virtual machine.

  Can I make for happy? (Hyper V might have to win here... sigh).

  VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V system role before running VMware Workstation

  Once you install the Hyper-V role on your host, your host is no longer running Windows 8 as the native operating system.  It runs Hyper-V as the native operating system, and Windows 8 runs as OS management within a privileged under Hyper-V VM.  With the Hyper-V role installed, * everything * runs in a virtual machine under Hyper-V.

  So to run a virtual machine under my computer in Windows 8 under Hyper-V, you must be able to run a nested VM.  It's possible with Hyper-V, the hypervisor host, but with the updates in custody, I mentioned above.
