Vmware 7 Issue by Nobody: 4:41pm On Feb 22, 2010 |
i can create a virtual machine - but i can't get it to run. tried with xp, 2000, i simply cannot figure out what i'm doing wrong - or maybe i've disabled some essential windows service |

Try virtual box. |

I've been using vmware 7 for a while on vista and also windows 7. Do you get any errors or no response at all. Check services.msc to see if 'Vmware Authorization Service' is started. |

Can you provide the exact error message you are getting? Does it boot up? Do you get the windows splash screen? Another thing you should check is if it is licensed properly - i know for the demo versions after the demo expiration period you will no longer be able start up VM, any VM that is running will not have a problem but once you stop if it will not run again until you put in the proper licence. Another thing you can do is download the vmware player (this is free) export your VM to it and run it to see if it runs - only thng with player is you can't use it to create VM's. Let us know what the exact error you are getting is and someone can surely help. Good Luck D |

Another thing i wanted to say - if you want to use virtualization go with the leader VMware and not the followers There is no other virtualization product out in the market that can compare feature wise and performance wise to VMware. Not Citrix, Not Hyper V, Not Vitual Iron, Not Xen, Disclaimer - i don't work for VMware i just use their products (extensively) D |

I use VMware 7 also on my Win 7 and i have encountered no issues.I'm running my Server 2003 on it comfortably.What error does it give you? |
Re: Vmware 7 Issue by Nobody: 6:09pm On Feb 23, 2010 |
no error - it just doesnt run any vm but now that u ask - i think i may have an idea what the problem may be - i will check something when i get home - i have a pop up killer that may be knocking off the error messages will check when i get home |

not pointing any fingers at anyone, remember that the only free version of vmware is the player not the server so for me, given the choice btw paying for vmware so i can create (and not just use) a virtual machine and usinf virtualbox for free i use the free edition. anyway on linux i use qemu more often than not, i can type the commands on the command line without waiting for some gui to come up b4 i can say test an iso image |
Re: Vmware 7 Issue by Dokki: 2:14am On Feb 27, 2010 |
Ok, I will not point my finger too as my mama told me it was rude HOWEVER, VMware ESXi 3.5 and ESX4i (vSphere) which are server versions are totally free since 2008, just register with any bogus email addy and your license key will be emailed to you. With this version you can create the mother of all VM environments and you can command line yourself to death without ever having to launch a gui. Best of all it is a 40meg kernel leaving you tons of space on your HD to do whatever you want. If you want support on it you pay but then again if i remember correctly so also for linux and or virtualbox As they say knowledge is power so , http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ Enjoy D |
