Hi All,
I am having the following error on VMware workstation after the latest update.
CDROM ide0:0: CMD 0xad (*UNKNOWN (0xad)*) FAILED (key 0x5 asc 0x24 ascq 0)
VMXVmdbGetExecInfoHashCB: failed: ret = VMDB failure
VMWare workstation Player Build : 12.5.5 build-5234757
On Windows 10.
Has anyone encountered this and what could be the possible resolution.
Because I had curiously not internet connection through vmplayer I decided to uninstall it.
But I can not uninstall it, because vmware-installer says that vmware-player is not an installed product (but i can get the version of vmware player !).
It looks like a bug.
And here VMware Workstation says that VMware Player is installed !
What should I do ?
uname -a :
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
version installed :
VMware-Player-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundle
Lenovo Thinkpad x201
I solved the internet connection issue : 1) go to "File" -> "Player Preferences"-> "Connection Settings" -> select "No Proxy" -> "Close" -> "Download All Components Now". Enter the root password if asked.
2) if necessary : go to Virtual Machine Settings and select NAT.
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?
I am using WMware Workstation Player 12. I am trying to configure my lab servers to communicate with each other. One has the DHCP/DNS role installed and needs a static ip. The other will be a client which will receive the IP addresses. I need to cofigure the client with the static IP from the server but cannot get the two guest servers to communicate with each other. They are both on the same subnet. I have tried disabling the firewalls and allowing ICMP. The guest cannot ping each other. They can ping the host, but the host cannot ping the guests.
I have tried all variation of the network settings. My questions are; will WMware Workstation Player allow guest-to-guest communication? If so, does anyone have any ideas on the configuration?
I have a number of Windows XP and Windows 7 virtual machines installed on my Win10 host that have worked fine for months.
Today I had two Win 7 machines started and started a Win XP one, the performance on the XP VM was extremely slow or stalled for minutes at a time. The Win 7 machines were still running OK.
I tried closing all other VM's and XP was still slow, tried a XP and host reboot and XP still slow (10 mins to restart XP).
I have also tried another two WinXP VM's and they are also slow.
I moved one of the XP VM's to another host and it goes fine.
XP task manager shows 100% cpu usage with ~95% kernel times. Host machine is around 20% usage and still responds OK.
Any suggestions?
VMware is also saying the vmware tools are out of date and no 3D graphics will be avail.
Not sure if related but this morning I also couldn't log in to my host Win10 profile until I tried a windows update (no updates) and then restarted (as suggested on forums).
I might try a different user profile when this XP finishes updating vmware tools (40 mins into it so far, zzzz)
Update: Feb 13
Tried on a different profile and same, reinstalled VMware and still the same (XP VM slow, Win7 VM fine).
Looks like the main slow point is disk access, with nothing running I can bring up the start menu pretty quick. Updating the tools took around 1.5 hours.
Tried running an xp vm that a colleague had made with workstation and it was set to use 8 cores and it near froze the host.
I have recently upgrade VMWare Workstation 12 Player to 12.5.6 Build 5528349.
I am running Windows 10, 67bit on my host machinE. I am running Windows XP in player.
Since I upgraded my mouse does not work properly. I can see the cursor on the screen moving etc. When I select Help etc it works fine. When I select any of the Icons on the screen NOTHING HAPPENS. I cannot even select the START option to sign off properly.
Can anyone help me with this problem.

Ive recently downloaded and installed VMWare Workstation Pro for a college class of mine. The task was to install 3 guess; two servers running Server 2012, and a normal Windows 8.1 OS machine, with one of the servers being a domain controller. I have all of the machines set on the host only network type. My main issue is that i cannot get my Windows 8 machine to join the domain provided by the server. I try it and it tells me "An Active Directory Domain Controller for this domain cannot be contacted." After this problem appeared, i tried pinging the machines from each other and it just tells me that its a general failure.Ive tried a number of things and now ive run out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to remove a VM in VMPlayer 12 but cant because it does not let me select it by giving me an internal error during selection.
Where is the configuration file so I can remove it editing the file by hand. I know where the VM files are located, what I need is the Player configuration file location.
This is in Windows 7 Pro.
A suspended VM got corrupted. What should I do to recover the machine?
I dont care if I have to loose the suspended state.
Hello,
I am running VMware Player with Linux host (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit with all latest patches applied) and several VMs such as Trusty alpha and Saucy, Windows 7 and XP.
I happened to receive an unexpected crash today that says:
VMware Player unrecoverable error: (mks)
Unexpected signal: 11.
A log file is available in "/home/vmware/Ubuntu-14.04-alpha/vmware.log".
You can request support.

when I power on the VM.
Related log file is attached.
This error happens on multiple (=another) VMs with same error message. Are anyone have any solutions ?
After installing Hyper-v on a Windows 10 Professional 64bit PC I noticed that VMware Workstation player stopped working, so I removed Hyper-v it as I have several VMs I need to use.
Is it a documented compatibility issue or was in only a problem related to my PC?
I would like to enable Windows containers on the same Windows 10 PC: is there any known compatibility issue with VMware Workstation Player?
By the way, I installed and use VirtualBox on the same PC with no compatibility problem if I use only one hypervisor at the same time.

When I look into the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMWare\InstallerCache\
under 64bit Win 7 then its growing over the time to now around 700 GB.
Is this normal?
Can I simply delete the content or is it absolutely required for VMware Player to run?

Hello,
I read that VMWare Player doesn't support USB3 automatically.
According to some help papers there is a way to build-in this functionality by installing additional drivers from the host mainboard manufacturer.
I tried that, but when installing the driver package from INTEL I got a message that my test computer has not the must-have requirements (maybe too old/too slow), so installation was aborted.
Is there another way to give a Player's VM the USB3 functionality?
Second question: We also use the normal/full "Workstation Edition" in our server room.
Does the "Workstation Edition" support USB3 or do we have to add this by installing additional driver software, too?
Thanks
Tommy
Hi everyone,
I am using VMWare Workstation Player 12 on Windows 10 Home x64 with Windows 7 Home Basic x64 as a VM.
The issue I am having is that I am running a cell phone firmware flashing program that I am flashing a dead phone with to recover it. The program works perfectly in grabbing all the older drivers for the device, however when it enters the flashing mode it continually disconnects then re-connects the USB interface (this is the correct behaviour).
I was wondering if there is a way to get the virtual machine to bypass USB detection in the host OS and only have it operate in the guest OS? That way the firmware flash won't fail like it is doing now. Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Adrian.
Hi there,

Hello, I am using vmware player for sap hana express edition, for training purposes.
I want to ask you if there is a way to close vmware and release all resources of my laptop without shutdown the hana server.
Because if I shutdown the server when I open again the vmware I must startup again hana db and apps and this is taking more than 30 min.
So is there any way to do it?
Thanks in advance

Occasionally after a windows host reboot any VM started generates the following prompt before starting:
It's as if vmware workstation player has just been installed, but it hasn't, it has been working fine for several weeks or months.
Is this supposed to happen? What is the point?
Or is it evidence of malware in the host?
I have a problem with open suspended machine. Log is in attachment.
Any ideas?

Hi, I use VMWare Player on Windows 10.
Recently, I faced a big problem, i try restart my virtual machine,
this window appear, and vmware player is going to crash.
I think that line is cause of problem, but i can't find any of solution.
Two days ago I had a PC updated to Windows 10 Creator. Since that time I can start VMPlayer 7.1.4 (build-3848939) and the Fedora 20 VM just fine. If I examine the listening ports, all the ones I expect to be there are fine. I can even access the web server via FireFox running locally on the Linux VM. What I can't do is access the web server from the host or even a remote machine.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing VMPlayer, but that does not help although I saw it make some new entries in the Firewall Inbound rules. I suspect something is wrong with the adapters, but I can't figure what it might be.
I have been using the Bridged Network Connection without a problem up to this point.
