Hello
I am trying to install vmware Workstation Player 12, 64 bit on my computer, but any time that I try to install it I get a BSOD with the message irql_not_less_or_equal.
Then the system resets, but the keyboars is not detected, I then have to use a screen keyboard (mouse works) to go back to the latest restoration point.
This are my system details[
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6
Motherboard: ASUSTek M4A88T-M
O.S: Windows 10 x64
AMD-Vi enabled
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I want to clone (with clonezilla) my laptop running Windows 10 and then install the image into a virtual machine running on VMPlayer.
- Is this possible?
- Do I first need to install Windows 10 in the VM or can I directly install the clonzilla image into the VM?
Thanks
I am trying to install VMWare Player on my Windows7 Home Premium SP 1 - 64bit OS.
I believe at one time there was a previous version on this machine but I have made all efforts I know of to remove it.
The error messages I used to get involving the old version seem to be gone now.
I am getting the same errors from both a downloaded version ( 12.1.1 ) and a version I received on a DVD that has a modified date of Nov. 2013.
It says Error 1311 source file not found C:\windows\installer\NAT.cab
Well that is correct as that file is certainly not there.
From its specified location in a system folder it is highly doubtful that I would have deleted it.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me. I will try to answer any questions you have or provide screen shots or logs if requested.
Thanks, Russ
Hello,
I have installed a MS-DOS 6.22 virtual machine in Workstation Player 10. We have a legacy application that works with serial ports. The virtual machine is working fine but serial ports are unavailable. The host machine have three serial ports installed (not USB)
If you type:
C:\>Mode COM1 /status
you get:
Status for device COM1:
---------------------------------------------
Retry=NONE
It is possible to use physical serial ports in the host machine from a MS-DOS 6.22 virtual machine with Workstation Player 10.
Thank you for any answer.
I have a windows 10 host OS where I have installed vmware workstation 12 player. I have an Xubuntu as a guest OS (virtual machine).
The complication is: the text is too small in guest OS and almost unreadable.
The steps that I have already taken to rectify the problem are given below:
1. I have already installed vmware tools (which is confirmed by hovering on Manage -> Reinstall vmware tools).
2. I have tried to manually set the resolution in the vmware before starting the virtual machine (by manually changing it to 640 by 480 and then to other settings).
3. In vmware workstation 12 player, i cannot see the stretch the guest OS but I have tried to stretch the guest desktop in the guest OS.
Note: I am using DELL XPS 15 with 4k UHD.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciable. If I am unable to explain anything please let me know, I can provide more details.
Hello,

I am running VMware Workstation 12 Player on Xubuntu 16.04. I have a VM with Windows 10 installed. My machine crashed recently (while the VM was powered on) and I wound up having to reinstall Xubuntu. Since then, VMware crashes to desktop when I try to load the VM. Full logs are attached. Here is an excerpt:

Is there a way to recover the VM, or at least the information on disk?
My host O/S is Windows 10 Pro (I upgraded from Windows 7 for free last year). I'm using Vmware Workstation 12 Player. I downloaded an ISO of Windows 10 from Microsoft's website. I installed Windows 10 on a virtual machine. I skipped by the prompts that ask me for a product key.
This is where it gets weird.
I've been using Windows 10 on the VM for a day now. I'm getting all of the standard Windows updates. In the system display area at the bottom it says that I have Windows 10 Pro. In the Windows activation section, it shows that I have a product key for the guest O/S. The product key displayed is different from the one on my host O/S. It also says that "Windows is activated".
I can change my wallpaper, I have no messages anywhere saying to activate Windows, etc. The guest environment appears to be the same as my host environment.
Will I eventually have to pay to activate this guest O/S Windows 10 Pro? Will I stop getting updates unless I pay? Or did I just get a free activated copy of Windows Pro on a VM? I'm perfectly willing to pay, but obviously won't if I don't have to. I want to buy licensed software and install it on this VM so I don't want any technical problems down the road because of the activation issue.
I am currently running Workstation 12 Player with Windows 10 guest and Host. Printers have worked fine for months. Now printers will not start on guest. Error message is Virtual Printer Proxy not present and something about thinpipe file not found. I did nothing but turn computer off last night and on this morning. Please help.
Hi.
For no reason my vmplayer start but my ubuntu 12.04 not loading. Just a black screen.
You can see the log on the attachment.
I'm new in vmware so any advice will be nice. Thank you.
I am using XP under VM Ware Player using Windows 10. I run a DOS program under XP. The program uses 4 serial ports. If I use DEBUG I can see that 4 ports exist at 40:0 (COM1=3F8, COM2=2F8, COM3=3E8, COM4=2E8). So I shut down XP and configured the settings with 4 serial ports, each with a named pipe. The pipe names are \\.pipe\com_1, 2, 3 and 4. For the Named Pipe dialog I have set it to "This end is the server" and "The other end is an application". And "connect at power on".
But when I run the program I get a popup that says "The system cannot open COM3 port requested by the application". Then if I click Ignore it gives the same message except for COM4. Note that COM1 and 2 work just fine via the named pipe. My program works on a real DOS using COM1,2,3,4.
I had this problem with earlier versions of VmWare but always thought it was a bug in VmWare. So I updated to the latest Player so now I think there is something I don't understand.
Note: When I click on the Serial Port settings I see a message that says "Virtual printers must be enabled in the preferences". I don't know why because I'm not using a printer but I enabled it anyway. I get the same problem.
Can someone please help me?
After my laptop got hosed with Win10 I revived with a new HD and finally got Win7 installed and am starting from scratch. I then got the computer configured as a dual-boot machine with Linux Mint 17.3 as the default OS. I'm using Linux as much as possible but of course find a few pieces of software that I would like to use in Linux that only seem to run in Windoze. Rebooting and going back an forth is getting old.
I ran WINE to run a simple Windows program and that was better, but I also have a couple of programs that will not run 100% in WINE so hope that VMware Workstation Player will be a good solution. I've installed VMware Workstation 12 Player (Non-commercial), ver 12.1.1, last night and this evening (or at least this week) want to install Win7 Home Premium which I have a license key (the same one that i installed on my revived computer) as the guest OS on my Linux Mint 17.3 host OS. In my dual-boot configuration I first installed the Win7 O/S from a Windows 7 AIO disk that I bought through eBay and it installed fine using the original license key that came with my laptop several years ago. I would like to use that disk (if possible) to install the same OS in VMware in Linux. I'm presented with three choices: Use physical drive, Use ISO image and I will install the O/S later. Okay, so the Win7AIO disk is not an ISO, and I was able to browse the DVD as a physical disk but clicking on setup.exe (which I think came up with a menu of different versions of Win7 to chose from) did not work. I browsed the DVD for other options but didn't find something that looked suitable.
1) Can I install Win7 Home Premium from this Win7AIO disk, the same one that I revived my laptop a few months ago? If so, how?
2) If I can't do #1 above, where do I find the Win7 Home Premium SP1 .ISO image to download (it seems to be removed from the Microsoft website)?
3) Can I create an installation ISO that I burn to a DVD from within the Win7 program itself, preferably with the drivers for my specific laptop already present (such as a recovery disk?)?
Hello,
I have some strange problem with Workstation 12 Player on my windows 10 pro. I created some empty W7 machine, and runned it twice... then after w10 restart I can't run VMWare Workstation Player (I can see Vmware player background process, and it consumes ~25% CPU), but it doesn't show any GUI.
The strange thing is, that this is happening on my home domain account, but if I logon to local windows account on the same machine - Workstation Player is running without any problem.
I tried to reinstall the application, remove some settings files on domain test account, but nothing works.
hello, i recently encounter problem when moving to a specific map of a game in workstation 12 which crashes the vmware, here's the log content
thanks in advance
I've got VMWare Player 6.0.3 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system. I tried to create a VM using RHEL 7 64-bit from an iso, but it says it can't detect the guest operating system, and when I try to specify it, RHEL 7 doesn't show up in the list. I selected RHEL 6 and tried to proceed hoping that it would get the info it needed from the iso, but when I tried to run I get the following error
This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled.
Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.
(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable Intel VT-x and disable 'trusted execution.'
(2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.
(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Player.
(4) Update the host's BIOS/firmware to the latest version.
For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.
Am I doing something wrong or is RHEL 7 just not supported on Player yet? I've had RHEL 6 running for at least a couple of years now, so I figured RHEL 7 would be no problem. Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to wait for a future release?

I have a Windows 7 Pro Guest in VMWare Player 12. The Host is Windows Server 2012 R2 in a VSphere 6.0 Virtual Environment. When the Guest NIC is set to Bridged mode I cannot access the internet nor can I ping any internal network servers or the gateway from the Guest. I am getting an internal ip address and the DNS servers listed in the Guest are the correct internal DNS servers. The Host can ping the Guest and the Guest can ping the Host. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
All, I am hoping you can assist me as I have a very strange problem. I am running two Windows 7 Virtual computers on a Dell e6540. The one VM is 64 bit the other is a 32 bit OS. They both have 120 GB hard drives with 4 processors. The 64 bit OS has 8 GB of memory the 32 bit OS has 4 GB of memory. Both have a bridged and NAT connection. Now due to the nature of what these VMs will be asked to do, I have a Netgear Wireless adapter AC1200 and a StarTech Gigabit Ethernet adapter connected to the physical machine but communicating to the VMs via USB. The wireless card is connected to the company wireless while the StarTECH USB gigabit adapter is used to connect to welders and other PLCs on the factory floor so the IP address of this unit will get changed. So what happens is we will change the IP address for the StarTECH usb adapter and connect to the desired device that works fine no issues there, but when you completely disconnect you can still ping that device! Only after disconnecting the Net GEAR wireless adapter are you unable to ping that device (which is set DHCP) Any ideas?
Hi,
My configuration
Centos 7
Kernel version 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64
VMWare Workstation player version : VMware-Player-12.1.1-3770994
VIX api: VMware-VIX-1.15.0-2985596.x86_64
I am trying to start a VM image from command line using the following command
vmrun -T player start /mypath/myVM.vmx nogui
This always fails and gives me the error Error: Unknown error
However if I run the command without nongui parameter, the VM runs absolutely fine.
I have tried all the solutions that I have found in the VMware forums as well as elsewhere but none has resolved my issue.
Any ideas as to where am I going wrong?
I am attaching the logs.
Thanks,
Gaurav
