みなさん、

VMware-player 6.0.4 XXXX .exe　のインストール直後の時刻設定値の名称をご存じでしょうか？

Converted Machine not launching

I'm new to using VMware products. I created a new VM using the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client. The source type was a powered on machine and the destination was for VMware player 6.0.x.

 

When I try and launch the new VM using VMWare player, it doesn't launch at all. I can't see anything obvious from the log. Please see the player log file attached...

 

Any help would be great.

 

Edit:

version of VMware Player 6.0.4 build-2249910

host OS Windows 8.1 64-bit

guest OS Windows 8.1 64-bit (the exact same machine actually)

VMPlayer behaves like a jealous child

March 10, 2014, 1:05 pm

VMPlayer is very frustrating because whenever any other process on the host increases the CPU load, VMPlayer (vmware-vmx.exe) immediately spikes to match it. It is like a jealous child jumping up and down screaming look at me, look at me!

 

Here’s some observations:

  • The guest’s CPU load spikes whenever this occurs
  • This happens regardless of the guest’s previous CPU load (it happens even if the guest was completely idle at ~1%)
  • This happens in Unity mode and non-Unity mode alike
  • The guest’s CPU load returns to normal once the host’s CPU load returns to normal (e.g., the spiking process ends)
  • Altering the affinity of the spiking process on the host and/or vmware-vmx.exe can cause the load on the guest system to drop, but vmware-vmx.exe remains high on the host
  • (I haven’t tested, but I’m sure that if multiple guests were running and one did something to use the CPU, then all of the others would spike to match.)

 

This is very annoying because it renders VMPlayer useless in many cases since the host system can no longer be used for any tasks that put a load on the CPU because then VMPlayer’s load jumps to match which reduces the host’s CPU to half—for no reason.

 

This is a pretty critical bug that needs to be fixed.

Script error when trying to install VMware Player on Windows 8 Laptop

I have downloaded version 6.01 of VMware Player onto the Desktop of my Windows 8 laptop but everytime I try to install it I get the following error...

 

An error has occurred in the script on this page

Line:   1089

Char:   7

Error:   Expected ')'

Code:   0

URL:  file:///C:/Users/DG's/AppData/Local/Temp/vmware_1387286925/index.htm?lang=1033&locale=1033

 

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Yes/No

 

I have followed the Knowledgebase article advising me to clear out my browsing history and cache and try downloading again but nothing changes.

 

If I click Yes or No the install window goes blank and my Laptops fan starts running but nothing appears to be happening. If I try to abort the installation by right clicking the VM taskbar icon I get a message telling me an installation is in progress and to wait until this finishes...I have waited over an hour and the nearest I have got to an installation is an empty VMware Folder in My Documents.

 

Can anyone help me please.

Hi,

 

I just installed the latest VMWare Player on Windows 7.

I created an Ubuntu guest install, however I am unable to get internet working using bridget (WIFI) network.

 

The host gets a valid IP address (I can ping other hosts in my network), but I am unable to browse the internet (or use ping www.google.com).

Anyone experienced this or knows a solution ?

Hi,

 

Can someone help me with this problem. I have a VPN connection on my host computer. I am running VMware virtual machine on NAT. My VMware however cannot access the internet when my VPN is running on the host. My host has access to the internet. Both the host and VMware can access the LAN on the VPN too.

 

If I change it to Bridged then I do not have access from host to VMware.

[6.0.4]-Kubuntu 14.04 64 HOST]-Win 8.1 Pro 64 GUEST]-Constant Freezing?

 

Hi,

 

I am having constant freezes in Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit guest on Kubuntu 14.04 L.T.S. 64Bit Linux host?

I am using current VMWare Player version 6.0.4 64Bit for Linux.

It was a new install of VMWare Player v6.0.4 and not an upgrade from v6.0.3.

The Windows was installed fresh from a retail DVD and installed with no problems.

 

How can I fix these constant freezes on my Win 8.1 guest?

When the freeze occurs, the CPU utilization goes very high, but host OS remains responsive.

I am using: Intel Core i5 3.0GHz 4-core CPU, 16GB DDR3 RAM, nVidia GeForce GTS 450 1GB GDDR5 GPU.

The Win 8.1 guest has 4GB RAM allocated and VMWare guest tools are installed.

I am a software developer and need to have Win 8.1 guest working properly.

 

I don't remember having these problems with Player v6.0.3 on an older desktop.

Can I downgrade VMWare Player from v6.0.4 to v6.0.3 without loosing my Win 8.1 guest?

 

Thanks!

Debian Linux Bootloader and VMware Player and Windows 8.1

I installed VMware on windows 8.1 laptop and began installation of Debian Linux.

The warnings about partitions and especially the bootloader potentially making my laptop unbootable gave me cold feet so I bypassed installation of the bootloader.

At this point Windows system appears to be intact.

So here is my question. If I go back and install the bootloader, will linux OS boot only when I press play on the VMware player or will it render windows unbootable ?

If the latter, how do I install bootloader on a thumb drive?

Port not accessible outside the host system !!

Hi,

 

We have an VM ware image for one of the IBM product named "Message Sight". 

 

We have the "VMware  Player" and we were able to import the "Message Sight" VMware image inside this VMware player in a windows box. The host computer here is System-A were the VM ware player is running and the "Message sight got imported in the VM ware player" and after some basic default configuration, we get a new IP address and a specific port say 9087

 

From the System-A, were were able to access the new IP address (say 10.11.12.13) and the port 9087.   Here note that the System-A is the host system were we have the vmware player running the "Message sight" server running.

 

Now the issue that we are facing is from another system, say "System-B", we are NOT  able to connect to the VM ware  port 9087.  From System-B, we are able to ping to the IP 10.11.12.13, but we are NOT able to establish connectivity to the port 9087.  System-B is again a windows box. We are not sure why System-B is not able to get connected to the port 9087. System-A is able to connect to the IP and the port with out any issues. 

 

Here the only difference between system-A and system-B is system-A hosts the VM.

 

We disabled the windows firewall also in System-B, but still the system-b was not able to connect to the Port.

 

Question is, does the VM ware player has any firewall settings that we need to disable to make sure that all system are able to connect to the 10.11.12.13 and port 9087.  Currently as explained above, only System-A is able to connect to 10.11.12.13 and port 9087.

 

Any idea ? As explained above, we do not have VM ware work station, but we have vmware player.  is there any port restriction in the vm ware players exist ?

 

Thanks,

Dinesh

Installed VMPlayer 3.0 12/2010, but don't think I have VMTools.  When trying to install VMTools, get this message, "VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress". Don't know how to resolve /finish easy install or verify whether VMTools is actually installed.

 

 

I've been running Unbuntu linux (Karmic Koala) as the guest OS under Windows XP, SP3 and having recent trouble in file sharing.  Hoping VMTools will help with file sharing.

My VMWare Player was working well since yesterday. When I try to start the Player it don't even react.

I get no error message or something. I noticed that it sometimes write a log. Most times the log has just 19 lines

with no error in it.

Sometimes there are 26 with an error inside: vmplayer| I120: HostDeviceInfoGetDiskInfo: CreateFile \\.\PhysicalDrive0 failed: Unknown error 5 (0x5)

 

Searching for this error didn't help.

How To Troubleshoot USB Gamepad Not Working in Win 8.1 Guest?

 

Hi,

 

I am running a Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit guest under Kubuntu 14.04 L.T.S. 64Bit host.

I am having problems with a USB gamepad not working in Win 8.1 guest.

The USB gamepad is plugged into my desktop through standard USB 2.0 port.

The USB game pad is recognized by Win 8.1 in Control Panel but it's not working in any of the games I try?

 

How would I troubleshoot the USB gamepad not working in Win 8.1 guest?

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I have a 64bit win7 pro host system running VmWare Player 6.

 

I installed a WinXp Home 32 bit guest.

 

Once the guest starts up and gets to the desktop, the Win7 Host gets a pop-up message "Print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working" this will not go away until I shut the XP guest down. While the guest is running the Win7 host is unable to print.

 

Has anyone dealt with this error?

Hi everyone!

I did a virtualization of an old Windows XP because an application was impossible to run under Win7.

My PC is a Windows 7 Pro 64Bits with 8Go Ram and 500Go HDD.

 

When I start my Guest Windows XP, everything's running fine Except 1 thing.

The problem is, this thing is HIGHLY NEEDED!!

 

It's an USB Symbol Bar Code Scanner connected into an USB2.0 port.(no 1.1 avalaible)

I've already allowed the HIDUSB into the VMX file.

The Player see it on the top right. Second Icon from the right

topright.jpg

Also, windows7 see the scanner like this

ScannerPreVMW.jpg

 

When I try to connect it to the Player (this is the second Icon from the right again)

topright2.jpg

I get this error, no matter what I try,

errormessage.jpg

 

And then the Windows 7 See the Scanner like this

 

ScannerPostVMW.jpg

 

But same if I'd like to change for another driver, the scanner never get the change to connect to the virtual PC. So how is it possible for me to fix the Driver error problem I have???

 

Is this the windows 7 driver who's in trouble?

Or the driver that VMWare is trying to install?? Look like it is...

 

I am really in need for help here! This is stopping my whole work because of this...

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me!

I have a Linux VM running under VMware Player 5.0.2 on a Linux Host machine.   I have a development system running on the VM trying to download code to an external device connected via a Host USB virtual serial port (ttyACM0).   Anybody doing Arduino device programming is familar with my software/hardware config.  The VM dev system does not directly see the ttyACM0 port so it seems I need to establish some kind of bridge connection between the Host "ttyACM0" port and the VM-configured "ttySx" port?   Anybody done anything like this with a Player VM?

Hello everyone,

 

I uninstalled vmwareplayer some days ago. Last week, I tried to install vmwareplayer 5.0.2 but the installation failed with this message:

"The MSI C:\users\A\Appdata\local\temp\vmwareplayer_x64.msi failed".

 

I tried to install an older version of vmware player and workstation but the problem still the same.

I runed as a local administrator and have deleted the %TEMP% directory and CCleaner before each test.

My MSIEXEC version is 5.0.7601.17514

 

In the vmsetup.20130603204822.log I can see:

It looks like the .msi has a problem.
