unable to install vmware tools

0
0

Hi,

 

I'm new with vmware and I'm kinda struggling with basic installation of windows 7 in vmware. *Maybe* there's something wrong with my HW (few days old), I do not know, but Virtual box fails completely(blue death in win, then host OS crashes).

 

Host OS is ubuntu 13.04.

latest vmware player installed, windows 7 installed and working. vmware tools cannot be installed.

 

After boot up of windows, dialog is raised, that I should download vmware tools, I confirm that, and it (always) fail. Sooner o later (30% of progress is max). Error messege is just "try again later or contact admin". Sometimes ubutu reports app crash during that: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xafk3qeun0vht1x/Sn%C3%ADmek%20obrazovky%20-%2025.6.2013%20-%2021%3A55%3A09.png

 

After some uneasy search I did found, that this can be downloaded manually from

"Index of /45848/tools/esx"

download apropriate version, installed it in guest system, in host system I've installed open-vm-tools, restarted, but nothing changed.

Error complaining about missing vmware tools at startup is still there, download still failing.

 

What can be wrong / what's proper way to install vmware player completely?

thanks in advance.

 

Martin


"The MSI 'C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_1372412506\vmwareplayer_x64.msi' failed." - Workaround

Hi folks

 

I have been strugling to install VMWare Player for a while now, and finally found a workaround that did the trick for me. As I haven't seen this solution online, I thought I'd post it here to help others.

20130628_VMWare_error_v2.png

Facts

VMWare Player version(s): VMware-player-5.0.1-894247.exe and VMware-player-5.0.2-1031769.exe

Windows version: Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit SP1

Encryption: Yes, Bitdefender active.

 

What didn't work

I tested various suggestions listed here and in the KB:

  1. Redownload, control checksum, all was well.
  2. "Run as administrator", no change.
  3. Clear TEMP folder, no change.
  4. Turn off UAC settings, no change.

In summary I tested many of the solutions listed in these places with no luck:

VMware KB: Troubleshooting an MSI error during a VMware product or Tools installation

You receive an "error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation" error message when you try to instal…

Installation VMwareplayer impossible

VMWare Player fails to install on Win7 x64 Home Premium

 

What did work

I noticed that the VMWare files were extracted to a TEMP folder before installation failed, but were removed when it failed (standard rollback procedure I guess). Did as follows:

  • Started the installation, made choices like folder etc., but did not proceed when I got to the "Continue" button that will start the installation (and generate the error)
  • Navigated to the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp" folder, and copied the temp folder that was now present there (it is removed once you get the error message) to another folder (it is called
    "vmware_XXXXXXXXXX", where the XXXXXXXXXX is a unique number each time it seems).
  • Clicked "Continue" and let the installation fail.
  • Went to the folder I had copied ("vmware_1372416285" in my case).
  • Double clicked "vmwareplayer_x64.msi", and it installed fine!

Bridged Network not working - VMware Player 3.0.1 Build 227500

Running on my laptop, Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, VMware Player 3.0.1 build-227500, the NIC is the integrated Realtek Gigabit-LAN-Adapter.

 

 

Set up in Virtual Machine Settings a network adapter &gt; network

connection &gt; Bridged: Connect directly...cant't access my LAN, no other computers in my LAN seen and also not accessible. Simply does not work :(. Also no internet.

 

 

First, after fresh install worked for some time, installed add. progs like Firefox etc., no system changes, but after a reboot it is not working any more. Tried to remove bridged, reboot, added again - no chance. I don't get it working again :(.

 

 

Now i have NAT in order to write here and have internet access in the VMware box, but need Bridged ot access all local computers in my net.

 

 

I have also installed Sun's VirtualBox to compare both 'free' VMs, VirtualBox works with bridged NIC like a charm. What am i missing with VMware??

 

 

 

 

 

free vmware player

Hi, I've just downloaded the free vmware player for Windows XP so I can run mobile phone browsers.

 

I have the Blackberry simulator files downloaded, when I run the player the Blackberry is listed in the home page.

 

I can click power on ok but after the code scrolls up in the console and stops at 'Start Service: screen' I click the window as indicated in the help pages.

 

I should see a login screen, to login to guest operating system but nothing happens.

 

Many thanks for any help/advice.

Vmware Player Prevents Aptitude from Installing Debian Packages

I am running a fresh install of debian wheezy. I installed VMware Player 4.0.1 build-528992 and then Windows 7 in a vm. Everything is working properly, until I tried to use aptitude to install foomatic-db-hpijs. VMware seems to be preventing aptitude from installing the debian packages. The error messages:

Wireless issue

I have a Windows 7 laptop and I am running 2-3 virtual machines using vmware player. One of them has Ubuntu installed in it and was working fine. I installed another virtual machine from IBM today. After the installation, wireless is not working my Ubuntu virtual machine. However, wireless is working on my IBM virtual machine. I have NAT enabled in both the machines.

 

Could someone please let me know what could the reason for this?

 

Thank you.

Player does not start up anymore

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.

 

Anyone got a hint what could be wrong?

Hello i created a win7 vm that runs on my host system win7. What i want to accomplish is that i want to run the vm and then boot from a cd. I can't get it done.

I press F2 at startup but that leads me to a boot menu where i can't choose boot from cd.

 

So how to do this?

scsi scanner on ubuntu 12.04 guest; Insufficient permissions scsi0:6

0
0

I'm trying to get an HP scsi scanner going on an Ubuntu12.04 64 bit guest running on VMWare Player 9 on Windows 8 Pro host.

The scsi card is an lsilogic card.  The driver is installed and working, and the HP C1130A scanner device on ID 6 is detected by Win8.  The card is identified on IRQ:17 in Ubuntu using hwinfo and the driver is seen in /proc/scsi/mptspi.  /dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1 but no device is getting created for the scanner.

The default set up that Player chose did not work.

I have tried to configure Player with a scsi pass-through device, passing scsi0:6 through to ubuntu and I am getting the errors (in the vmware.log) shown below:

| I120: SCSI PASSTHRU: OPEN "SCSI0:6"

2013-07-04T10:42:17.495-06:00| vcpu-0| I120: SCSI PASS-THRU (scsi0:6): OPEN "SCSI0:6"

2013-07-04T10:42:17.495-06:00| vcpu-0| I120: [msg.device.startdisconnected] Virtual device scsi0:6 will start disconnected.

 

The VMX file looks to be configured right from older VMWare docs:

scsi0:6.present = "TRUE"

scsi0:6.deviceType = "scsi-passthru"

scsi0:6.fileName = "SCSI0:6"

scsi0:1.present = "FALSE"

 

devices listed in /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs are below and I don't think either device corresponds to the scanner since the devices file indicates they are both on scsi id 0.

NECVMwar     VMware IDE CDR10     1.00

VMware,     VMware Virtual S     1.0

 

It looks to me like I just have this mis-configured. The scsi card is dedicated to the scanner, so using a pass-through device should be okay.  Probably I am confused about the way all this works.  As I see it, the pass-through is failing and a linux device /dev/sgX is not getting created.  What am I misunderstanding?

Thanks.

How to disable Hypethreaded core sharing in VMware Player?

0
0

Hello,

 

Is it possible to disable hypethreaded core sharing for a machine running in VMware Player?

I've read about such possibility in ESX but found nothing about doing the same in Player.

 

May goal is to get my virtual machine maximum power and not to run its cpus on single physical core when hyperthreading is on.

 

PS. Of course I've tried using task manager affinity for that purpose but it didn't work. After setting affinity for my virtual machine process it became terribly slow and completely unusable.

My machine is i7-920 with HT on. My virtual machine has 3 processors and I would like to have them running on different physlical cores which should get me maximum performance.

The message that prevents and this I cannot figure out with hyper threading and Intel processor is:

If there is a method to complete the VMPlayer install please let me know !

vmplayer crash on machine load with "Invalid SVGA FIFO registers" error

0
0

Hi,

I keep getting this error when trying to load my ubuntu 12.10 image using vmplayer.

this happens only when physical memory is set to 4gb (3gb works).

 

the relevant lines in the log file are:

2013-07-07T16:16:02.168+03:00| svga| I120: Msg_Post: Error

2013-07-07T16:16:02.168+03:00| svga| I120: [msg.log.error.unrecoverable] VMware Player unrecoverable error: (svga)

2013-07-07T16:16:02.168+03:00| svga| I120+ Invalid SVGA FIFO registers.

 

I thought it may be related to my onboard graphic card (Intel HD graphics 2000) but even when I used a nvidia geforce 210 card,

the problem remains.

 

I've also manually set the svga settings in the vmx file - still no go.

 

i've googled this error, but can't seem to find a solution.

 

Thanks for the help.

File sharing on Player betw host and guest doesn't work on Ubuntu 13.04

Hello,
I am using a VMware Player on 64 bit Windows 7 to run Ubuntu 13.04, and I  installed VMware tools to enable (among other things) file sharing  between host and guest. However, file sharing does not work even though  it worked fine on Ubuntu 12.10. I get the following messages:

Can't find home network via wireless adapter

Hi I'm new to VM Ware and making virtual machines so go easy on me!

 

I've set up a virtual machine with xp on it (host is windows 8) to test some programs what keep crashing on my windows 8 system.

 

The thing is when I try and find my home network on the virtual system it's not showing my router but it's showing other networks in range.

 

Moving my computer isn't an option so I can't bridge my connection or use a wired connection to the router.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
