VMware Workstation on Windows 9 8
I need help. I'm currently trying to install VMware Workstation 9 on my PC which is running Windows 8 Pro. I have Microsoft HyperV installed instead. I deleted the HypverV feature via the control panel. However, when I try to install VMware, I get an error saying its impossible to install on a computer that is running HyperV. I deleted all my VHD and I find all the files associated with HyperV, but I still get the error. Any suggestions?
Thank you
"FIXED: I ran the command"dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V", restarted and was able to install VMware.

VMWare Workstation and Windows 7 64 bit
Someone had problems with VMWare Workstation running Windows 7 64 bit? My computer hangs when creating the virtual machine guests. I also have VirtualBox running very stable with Windows 7. I was wondering if anyone has had problems? VMWare has a new version of 7 who suppose to be stable with Windows 7. I am skeptical. Your comments are welcome.

I have a bunch of VMs that I built using VMWare Workstation for Windows running on a Win2003 Server 7.1.3. The virtual machine is running Windows XP sp3. Can I move these Ubuntu VM to run under VMWare for Linux, if I buy a license for the current version or any version?
Thank you
Yes, but with some reservations. Of course, Windows and Linux use different ways to represent the paths and devices so a few changes to the virtual machine may be necessary. All that is hard coded in the configuration file .vmx depicting the paths of type Windows and device names must be changed by the GUI settings or manually edit the .vmx config file. In addition any virtual machine containing snapshots where the parentFileNameHint in the DescriptorFile of disc, so drowned in a monolithicSparse or the first measure not binary snapshot virtual hard drive, which uses a QPF (fully qualified path name), it will have to be changed. If you are unsure how to do this then I suggest a delete all snapshots before moving on to another system.
A Windows VM that fall under the WPA will in all likelihood have to be reactivated if the host CPU are not in the same class.
If you copy a Windows VM for the delivery of a copy on the source system, that you must have and or get the appropriate number of licenses and or product keys for the copy number you keep.

You want to install VMware Workstation 11.1.1 on new 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit PC.
I had VMware Workstation 11.1.0, and deleted the original installer but did not finish the installation of the new version
The installer gets about 2/3 way (progress bar) and then crashes, Windows Installer says Event Viewer hung.
Race tried without firewall and AV, always not install question
A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)
Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens
I'm really at a loss as to why I can't install VMware Workstation 11.1.1, all the other soft\ware settles very well.
Please could someone help me?
Thank you

VMWare Workstation on Windows Drag and Drop 8.1 10.0.1 does not
I use VMWare Workstation10.0.1 on a host Windows 8.1 and a guest on Windows Server 2008 R2. Drag / move does not seam to work between the guest and the host. Copy / paste work, just not drag and drop. Drag / drop "Not" work with a Windows 7 guest.
I checked and tried the following:
- Drag and Drop is enabled under Guest insulation.
- I tried re - install the VMWare tools and am sure that they are running.
- I launched VMWare Workstation "as Administrator".
- I'm using a simple file created in Notepad.
I just buy VMWare Worksation 33 days, so I'm 3 days on the support.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Did you uninstall completely, not to do a repair and then re-install VMware tools?

Cannot install VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit
I recently had to completely reinstall the operating system on a Dell Dimension 9200 with 4 GB of ram. There were originally 32-bit Vista installed by Dell. VMWare Workstation has worked well. I upgraded (in place) for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and VMWare continued to work. Recently I had to blow the OS and reinstall. I reinstalled with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and now I can not install VMWare Workstation Version 7.1.1. I also tried an older version with the same problem.
I get the UAC prompt and then after some disk activity I get the Microsoft saying "VMWare Workstation has stopped working" giving options (found nothing) solution, close or debug dialog. I tried without UAC turned and no firewall with the same question.
Any ideas on how I can find this?
Pete
Because I had to reinstall the OS, I went to 64-bit, because I have a few apps I need to write 64-bit to 64-bit (Server 2008 R2) that applications servers
You can run 32-bit Wokstation. Still, you can virtualize a VM 64 bit on 32-bit workstation. So do your apps in the virtual machine.

Running 32-bit only VMWARE Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit?
Hello.
I have installed VMWARE Workstation 7.1.1 build 282343. When I look in the Task Manager, I see that the process vmware.exe * 32 runs only in 32 bits. The program is installed unter C:\Programs (x 86).
What's wrong? Why it doesn't in 64 bit mode"?
Thank you
Michael
Hello Michael,
The hypervisor operates in 64-bit, the process you are looking at is the UI, not the hypervisor.
Looking for a process called vmware-vmx, it is the process that runs of your virtual machine.
There is not really much to gain for VMware with the 64-bit user interface, the important part is the hypervisor and runs as a 64-bit process.
Hope this helps,

Complete restoration of the Server 2008 R2 vmware workstation for windows backup image 9
9 workstation.
I am trying to restore a backup of windows server r2 2008 (made with the built-in windows backup) on an existing installation of vmware server 2008 r2. Basically, I just want to replace the facility with the backup version.
The problem is, the windows to the backup image is on a USB key.
The restore process is:
- Connect the usb host drive
- Insert the windows server r2 DVD in drive
- initialize the Server 2008 r2 comments and press the button ESC at startup, then boot from the CD
- Select 'repair' installation
- but here's the problem, windows backup image is on my USB, but at this stage I do not see the USB key from the client in the repair installation process.
Ideas of the best way to do it?
Thank you
Okay, downloaded the ISO Image of Windows Server 2008 R2, created a new Virtual Machine, added the Windows Server backup and made a full backup without the destination for the backup drive, a USB Flash drive.
Started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and it does not see the backup from a USB Flash drive, although I can see it from the command prompt.
Also created a record gross hard pointing to the USB Flash drive and started the virtual machine of the ISO Image and he does not see the backup of the hard disk gross of the Flash USB drive, because the Virtual Machine had problems during the boot process. Forget the exact error message, but I tried as a whole disk and a partition. So the why I tested it by copying it to a normal file depending on the disc hard virtual (and worked).
Finally I created a regular file based hard and copied the backup folder of the USB Flash it and then started the virtual machine drive of the ISO Image and it had no problem see the backup from the normal file based hard.
It seems that you have to take the long way around, but at least, you should be able to see!
I know not when booting from the ISO Image or a disc of Windows Server 2008 R2, backup tools command line are available to restore the image however you could examine the issue. I would like to but I just don't have the time at the moment.

How to add a second hard drive Ubuntu Server, that runs on vmware workstation 9
Hello
I am running vmware workstation on windows 9 8, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a virtual machine on my SSD. I installed a second hard drive in the machine and use the "Add a HDD" feature on vmware workstation to add and pre-allocate space. The problem is that the drive does not appear in Ubuntu. I have checked/Media and / dev, I expected to see something like /sda *. It is a procedural step, I missed it, please help!
Do I have to mount the drive in a special way? How can I check if it is properly attached?
Thank you!
What you said so far, it's like adding a second physical drive to a physical computer and the operating system cannot access until it was partitioned and formatted, and then it can be mounted. To do the same thing in a VM!
