Change VMwareDND from TEMP to other location

0
0

Hello,first off all Merry Christmas to all and Happy new Year!

 

In Windows:

 

When we use drag and drop feature it makes first one copy of desired file into folder VMwareDND that is located in Appdata->Temp folder.After that, vmware copy the file to the final location.

 

-My question is:

 

Is it possible to change the location of this folder to another hard drive or force vmware to do direct copy?

 

Cheers!


How to adjust the screen resolution of Linux guestOS for WELCOME Screen (not for later desktop)?

0
0

Assume I created a Linux (Mint) guestOS with newest VMware Workstation player under 64bit Win 7 hostOS.

 

Now I can adjust the display resolution inside the Linux system for the general desktop after Login.

 

However this screen resolution is NOT applied to the first (after boot) Welcome screen (where the user enters username and password).

 

Here it is always a small minimum screen resolution.

 

How can I adjust here (= for WELCOME screen) the display resolution to another value?

Workstation Player Not Reading CD/ISO files

0
0

I have installed Workstation Player 12.5 on a Windows 10 machine.  I have not been able to install an operation system.  When I created a new VM and set the CD to an ISO file, the VM tries to boot from the network skipping over the CD/ISO file even if I have the CD as the first boot device in BIOS.  Any suggestions?  I have tried with three separate systems, Win 98 OEM, Win 98 Retail and Win98SE OEM.  All iso images are bookable discs.

Any ideas?

Host printers disappeared after update to Workstation Player 12.5

0
0

I am running Win XP Pro guest on a Win 10 Host.  All host printers (and everything else) works fine on version 12.1.1 build-3770994. After upgrade to 12.5.0 all the virtual printers disappeared.  I have tried everything I can think of including removing and reinstalling the software and generating a new virtual machine, but the printers stay gone. When I restore Vmware from a backup to the 12.1.1 version, it works fine again. Am I locked into using v.12.1.1 forever?

Can't install custom serial port drivers

0
0

The host PC has a high speed serial card fitted ("Brainboxes" RS422/485 PCi), plus its respective driver software. In Control Panel -> Device Manager the card's two serial ports appear as "Brainboxes RS422/485 Serial Port (COM8)" and "Brainboxes RS422/485 Serial Port (COM9)". They work fine when I talk to them from the host PC.

 

I now need to talk to the com ports from the guest machine. I've configured the VM's settings to expose these serial ports, and on the guest machine (Win7) I can see them in Control Panel -> Device Manager, appearing as COM2 and COM3. Unfortunately my software is unable to talk to them, failing to open the serial port. The error message is "The parameter is incorrect", which I believe is due to using a high baud rate (921600) which isn't supported by "vanilla" com ports - hence the need for the Brainboxes driver.

 

I installed their driver on the guest machine, then tried to update the two com ports (COM2 & COM3) with this driver. However the guest PC crashes at this point with a blue screen of death. Occasionally it will update the driver, but when I restart the PC I get the blue screen again and have to run a Windows repair to rollback the driver installation. Any thoughts?

To create a virtual OS that only works on a PC or on a Windows 10 license

0
0

Can I create a virtual operating system that only works on a PC? I do not want that a user can have a virtual operating system on 1000 different computer copying vmware files into others PC. Can I use VMware Workstation Player for this purpose, or should I use the Pro version? Do you have an Italian guide for my problem?

Right now I'm using VirtualBox, but it does not have this specific function so I'm thinking to migrate to VMware.

Thank you and I am sorry for my English

Keyboard Not Working after VMWare Conversion

0
0

Hello,

I'm trying to run a VMware Conversion of an old laptop as a backup. I've run a VMware conversion and converted it to a vm 9 image file.

 

When it gets opened in VMware Player everything works except for the keyboard inputs. The only way I can type on the screen is using either the on screen keyboard or connecting in with TeamViewer.

 

Looking in Device Manager shows that the following error.

 

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

 

Has anyone come across this before and know if a solution?

 

Thanks

Network link disconnects randomly on host after installation of VMware Player

0
0

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?

Host NIC cannot connect after VMware Player installation

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?

Option for "echo cancellation" missing in Linux Player 12.5.1

0
0

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?

Upgrading VMWARE Workstation 12 Player to 12.5

0
0

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.

Using Windows 10 and vmware player 12.5 to run Linux on my system and get errors

0
0

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. 


VMWare Player error(Log Below)

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

Can't disable clipboard in Workstation Player?

0
0

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.

Three separate questions about VMware Workstation Player

0
0

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.

Uninstalling old versions of VMWare Player Windows 10

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??
