Guten Morgen,

kann mir jemand schreiben, wie ich den VMware Player wieder deinstalliere?

Vielen Dank.

After installing Vmware Player on a Windows 7 x64 (HP Z440) the hosts NIC disconnects randomly and stays disconnected for about 5-10 minutes, then it comes back online and stays online for just a minute or so Before it disconnects again.

In the event log I see event id 27

Source: e1dexpress

Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-LM

Network link is disconnected.

If I disable the VMware Network Adapters It works fine but as soon I enable them again I start getting the disconnects again.

Has anyone seen this before?

Do I need to configure the hosts NIC in some way?

Or the VMware NIC maybe?

Hi,

I've just installed VMware Player on a HP Z440 workstation with Windows 7 x64.

Everything seems fine except that sometimes when I start the computer the physical NIC don't connect to the network.

Most of the time I can just disable the NIC and enable it again to fix the problem, but obviously something is wrong.

If I disable the VMware NIC's I don't get any problems.

I have a VM installed which is using bridged network, but my issue occurrs before I even start the VM.

Any ideas of how to solve this?

I'm running Player 12.5.1 on a Linux (Fedora 25) host and the option for echo cancellation does not show up in the Hardware/Sound panel when running a Windows 7 guest. According to the documentation, echo cancellation support was added to Workstation 12 & Player 12 and I should see a checkbox for it. I thought maybe it didn't work for this VM created with an older version of Player, or only worked on a newer version of Windows, but I started creation of a VM for Windows 10 (far enough to get to the 'customize hardware' option before it is actually created) and it still didn't show up.

Perhaps my host is incorrectly configured and that's why it doesn't show up? I did a pretty vanilla install of Fedora 25, and have a fairly generic Kaby Lake based laptop without any funky hardware. Any ideas?

Here is the output of lspci -vv for the sound card. Since it shows up as a 'device 9d71' maybe it isn't fully supported in Linux yet?

I have been using Workstation 12 Player and I want to upgrade it to 12.5

I downloaded VMware-player-12.5.2-4638234.exe and started installation.

I received the following message:

"This product installer does not support downgrades."

What does this mean? Is there a different installer to download? Must I uninstall version 12?

Thanks for any help.

I am using Windows 10 and recently installed vmware player 12.5 to run Linux on my system and I am constantly getting errors when i try to play any distro of Linux stating the following:

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.

I have hyper-v activated in Windows and have verified I am, in fact, running a 64-bit OS and processor so the 64 bit guest OS should be able to run just fine.  I use Mcafee Internet Security as my AV and can't think of anything that would interfere with the guest OS from that particular AV.  I am doing this at home so that I can practice with Linux for my online college classes.  Any information that can be offered on solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.  I have attached the vmware.log file from my Ubuntu 64-bit 16.04.1 VM. 

Hi; I am running Windows 7, 64 Bit OS. I am experiencing the following error message: "Error while powering on: The operation was canceled by the user" when I attempt to power up my VMWare Player from a "Suspended" state. It works fine until then.

Thanks

Guys,

My testenvironment in Vmware Player, receives dhcp leases from my mainnetwork, although the networkcardsettings in player are local only.
Anyone who can help me with this?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am trying to find a way (preferably through the GUI so that it's quick to toggle on and off) to disable the clipboard sharing between Host and Guest.  I have checked under both Player > File > Preferences and under the VM's Settings > Options tab.  I can find references to "Guest Isolation" under documentation for Workstation Pro but nothing for Workstation Player. I couldn't find any reference to Guest Isolation in the Workstation Player Help doc.

Is clipboard sharing disabling simply not supported in Player?  If so, it just seems so strange since one of the reasons for running a VM is security.  I would like to keep VMware Tools installed.

I have some problems:

1. I use VMware Workstation 12 Player, I log on to the PC using domain admin, then I created some local users. With my domain admin, I have installed some applications, however, I try to log on to that PC using local user and I cannot see those applications. How do I configure in order local user can get those applications?
2. I created a shared folder from guest OS to the host OS in order to gather information from guest OS to the host OS. however, it can easy for user to move data from host OS to the guest OS. How do I protect that shared folder in order to be more secured (data cannot be moved from host OS to the guest OS)?
3. I use VMware Workstation 12 Player with 2 MAC addresses which are from guest OS and host OS. I use 2 port security (switchport port-security maximum 2) I can get internet connection with my domain admin, but I did not get internet connectivity (cannot reach IP gateway) with domain user. Further, when I changed maximum value of port security to be 7. My domain user can get the internet connection. Since security issue, I have to use maximum value of port security is 2. What do I have to do to get internet connection with 2 port security. For your information, I use Windows 7.

I look forward for any response or suggestion. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have encountered a major problem with an old version of VMWare Player (VMware-player-6.0.1-1379776):

The machine that I have this on has been successfully upgraded through various Windows versions from Windows 7 to the current Windows 10 "Anniversary" 1607. At no time did any messages appear about incompatibility.

It is now impossible to upgrade the VMWare Player as the original VMware-player-6.0.1-1379776 will not uninstall, giving the dreaded MSI error. Furthermore, when attempting to use the original exe to achieve a re-install one receives the message that the program will not run under this versions of windows. Any attempt to tell Windows 10 to run it in compatibility mode for either Windows 7 or 8 fails with the same message.

I have followed the instructions for manual removal as detailed in:

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1308

to the letter.

This results in a host system that has no keyboard or touchpad, and is not repairable with either SFC or DISM.

I have also tried third party uninstallers, (both Microsoft and Revo), the result is the same, no keyboard or mouse.

Fortunately I have multiple working partitions on this machine so I can always copy back the original partition the Windows 10 with a working keyboard and mouse.

The crazy thing is that the VMware-player-6.0.1 still loads and works fine with no need to set any compatibility settings at all!!

I am thus stuck in a mortal embrace that is only resolvable by a clean install of Windows 10. Having spent over a day of my life so far on this then thought of having to re-install and register another 50 or so programs fills me with dread!

I suspect the problem is to do with driver signing in newer versions of Windows 10. I have tried turning this off in Windows 10 and it made no difference, but I suspect that is where the problem lies.

Any ideas anyone??

Folk,

Hello. I am using VMware Workstation Player 12.5.

My host machine is Windows 10 with hard disk 1TB (1000GB).

My guest machine is Oracle Linux 5 with virtual hard disk 100GB currently.

I need to expand my virtual hard disk 100GB to the maximum size. I have checked the 2 links below:

1)https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708315(v=ws.10).aspx  indicates:

The maximum size for a virtual hard disk is 2,040 gigabytes (GB). However, any virtual hard disk attached to the IDE controller cannot exceed 127 gigabytes (GB). To support a larger virtual hard disk size, attach the virtual hard disk to a SCSI adapter.

2)https://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/disks_config_ws.html  indicates:

IDE virtual disks can be as large as 128GB. SCSI virtual disks can be as large as 256GB. Depending on the size of the virtual disk and the host operating system, VMware Workstation creates one or more files to hold each virtual disk.

The first link indicates max size 2040GB.

The second link indicates max size 256GB.

My questions are:

1) What's the max size of a Virtual Hard Disk ?

2) Either 2040GB or 256GB is not enough for my Virtual Machine as a Server. Can we migrate the Virtual Hard Disk to a large hard disk of physical machine ?

Thanks in advance.

I have VMWare Player 7.1.4 build-3848939 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit.

I created a VM running Ubuntu 16.10 32 bit (with all updates and vmware tools).

Then I dragdropped a large file (7GB) into the Documents folder. Everything seemed fine, but then I noticed the destination file was only 184320 bytes big.

There was a correct copy of the file in ~/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop/525ed2c1-c8b1-d3e2-e8d6-628905d57fed/

Versions of the vmtools:

Mware Tools daemon, version 9.9.5.55150 (build-3735633)

See attached manifest.txt

Regards,

David

Hello,

In the virtual machine settings, there is an option to set the number of process cores for the VM. Now assume I have a 4 core proc with HT, so 8 threads, can I set the vm to "have" 6 cores? Is there any actual benefit to doing so, and how are the host's resources actually allocated? Would the VM have effectively 6 threads on the host to work with?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I recently installed VMWare Workstation Player in my personal laptop, the problem is that the 1920x1080 resolution isn't available, after looking for information I installed the VMWare Tools, systemctl is telling me that it works fine, yet there is no way of changing the resolution to 1920x1080.

I tried several things using xrandr but it doesn't work at all.

I'm new to VMWare, do you know a way to make it works?

$ xrandr

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192

XWAYLAND0 connected

   1280x768      59.87 +

$ uname -r

Might be a newbie question but after spending several hours on it I couldn't find a solution :s

Help me dear VMWare lords

VMware Player 12.5.1 on Windows 7 64 bit Host

Windows 7 64bit as guest (don't ask..... need to run all 'my' software separate to the work)

I have a USB Edimax 7811 USB dongle which I pass through to the guest to allow it network access (as work will not allow it to use the corporate network - it logs on to a 'public' wifi)

All works great. However when I resume the laptop (Dell e5470) the USB wifi in the guest is not working. It is listed in 'device manager' but does not get detected in 'Network Status and tasks'.

The only way to get it functioning again is to disconnect it from the Virtual Machine and then reconnect it..... then it works fine again. Also physically unplugging it and re-inserting also works.

Does anyone have any idea how to stop this from happening?

I also thought of automate running a command line program to disconnect and reconnect the USB device upon resuming the computer...... but none of the versions of VMware seem to support this from the command line.

I could leave the USB Wifi network in the host.... but every time I run the Cisco VPN it disables all other network traffic....

In the SECOND image, you can see at the top, I have a panic... I don't know why as this is my first attempt trying to install a VirtualMachine.

I used a youtube tutorial, and followed EVERY step (except the Processors I could only use 2)... Youtube Tutorial Link

And in the THIRD image, you can see that is says, "Mac OS version: Not yet set .... WHAT..?

It points to the file inside the folder... file name is: macOS 10.12 Sierra Final.vmdk

So why is it not recognizing it..?

Here is the vmware.log:fqrwstg3qredgvqewrdfgv3qr - Pastebin.com

And here is the macOS 10.12 Sierra Final.vmx:dcgbwtru57er7ytbg54wyh6r - Pastebin.com

Any and all help from those who might know how I can solve this please..? I really need to get MACOS on my Windows10 laptop for school...

It's cheaper than buying a MAC. Thanks.

Hi,

I am using VM ware workstation 12 player and i am installing an Ubuntu server as a guest OS.

When I start the VM i am getting the "Intel VT-X not found" message

My CPU is an Intel E6550 and it support VT-X virtualization.

I ve checked both the BIOS and VM setting that Intel VT-X is enabled.

Any idea please ?
