VMtools Installation Issue in safe mode windows server 2003
Hi all,
We are using VMware Player version 6.0.1 running on windows server 2008 R2
We converted one of the system's symantec backup (windows 2003 OS) to vm using VMware vCenter Standalone Converter V 5.5 (selected VMwae player 6.0.x during conversion)
Host OS : Windows server 2008 R2
Guset OS: Windows Server 2003 R2
we are facing the following problems.
1. when we played Virtual machine, it was very slow and we cant install VMtools, so we entered into safe mode(safe mode system works fastly)
2. In Safemode, when we tried to install we got some DLL error (see the attached picture), log files also attached for your reference.
3. By installing VMtools on guset, will it be fast to work?
Following this we tried and didn't worked for us. Anyone have the solution for this problem.
Step 1: Unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and then click Run.
b. In the Open box, type "msiexec /unreg" (without quotes), and then press Enter.
c. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and then click Run.
d. In the Open box, type "msiexec /regserver" (without quotes), and then press Enter.
Step 2: Check to see if the Windows Installer service is running.
a. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and then click Run.
b. Double-click on the service named "Windows Installer".
c. Check the value in the "Startup type:” field. If it's currently set to "Disabled" change it by selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box. Make sure the service is Started.(Not started for us)

Has a power cut destroyed my VM
VMware® Workstation 12 Player 12.5.2 build-4638234
After my power was reinstated I could not open up my Virtual Machine I get this message
This virtual machine appears to be in use. If this virtual machine is not in use, press the "Take Ownership" button to obtain ownership of it. Otherwise, press the "Cancel" button to avoid damaging it.
If I try to take ownership I get the following message
Error while opening the virtual machine: Taking ownership of this virtual machine failed.
The virtual machine is in use by an application on your host computer.
Configuration file: E:\Virtual Machines\WinXP_Latest\Windows XP Mode.vmx.
Is there anything I can do to fix this I have a backup but I have done quite a few changes since then
Many thanks

where/how to get vmnetcfg.exe to use with VMWare Player 12.5
Ok, so occasionally my VM connections using Bridged connection stop working and I've been reading posts that show the issue to be related to multiple networks and VMNet0 picking the wrong network adapter. The fix for this is to use the VMNetCfg to "force" the selection of the correct network adapter for VMNet0.
From what I've been able to read since the VMNetCfg does not come with Workstation Player 12.5 I have to:
- uninstall current Player,
- download and install Pro 12.5
- copy WMNetCfg.exe from the install folder
- uninstall Pro 12.5
- reinstall Player.
Can anybody tell me if this is the only way or if there is a better way to get the WMNetCfg.
Thanks
David

VMware Workstation 12 Player slow graphics performance
Hello everyone,
I have an annoying problem with the performance of my virtual machine. First,here's the spec of my PC :
- Model: DELL Latitude E6430
- CPU: Intel Core i7-3740QM @ 2.70 GHz
- RAM: 16 GB (2x8) DDR3L
- GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000 & NVIDIA NVS 5200M (Optimus technology)
- SSD: 500 GB
- OS: Windows 10 Creator Update Professional 64 bit
I'm trying to install Windows XP Home 32 bit with the following configuration :
- CPU: 1 processor cores
- RAM: 2 GB
- Display: 1 1024x768 monitor with accelerate 3D graphics and 256 MB of memory
- HDD: 40 GB
But when I try to use the machine, it's very very slow :
VMware Workstation 12 Player slow graphics performance - Part 2 - YouTube
The problem is that when I go into the BIOS, I have slow graphics performance too :
VMware Workstation 12 Player slow graphics performance - Part 1 - YouTube
I think it's not a driver problem because I have ever try to install VMware Tools and the problem persisted.
If someone can help me...
Thanks a lot

6.5-7.x compatibility with recent VMware Player releases?
I have a few old virtual machines that was made in VMware Workstation version 7, and it doesn't seem to perform properly with any other hardware compatibility. I began to search for a version of VMware Player that could play these old virtual machines without giving me a compatibility error, but I couldn't seem to find one that was compatible with my OS (Windows 10).
Is there a way to open my 6.5-7.x compatible virtual machines without spending the money to upgrade to VMware Workstation? Are there any Windows 10-compatible releases that also support these old VMs? Any responses would be appreciated.

How to upgrade from Vmplayer 12 to Vmplayer 14
Hi.
Yesterday I saw on your webpage that there was a new version of vmplayer (version 14), but when I look for updates via vmplayer's GUI, it says that there are no pending updates and a message to upgrade to vmware workstation pro.
Do I have to wait some time? I am using vmplayer for personal use.
Thanks.

How to enforce/cleanup a whole corrupted Vmware Player installation on windows (without "normal" uninstall)?
Assume I have (under 64bit Win 7) a corrupted VmWare Player installation.
I could not uninstall it any more.
So I deleted the whole VmWare Player folder.
However there seem to be still uninstall entries in registry and maybe some more drivers.
How can I really, really uninstall all stuff from a previous VmWare Player installation without using a "normal" uninstall but by erasing all files and registry entries directly?
There is an old cleanup tool from the year 2005. However it seems to work not any more with v12.
is there an updated version?

Is new Player version v14 compatible with Intel Core i5 2400 Sandy Bridge?
As far as I have read the new Player version v14 has some more requirements for the used CPU.
Does that mean that an Intel core i5-2400 Sandy bridge does not work with v14?
That would mean VmWare player v12.5.7 is the last version for this kind of CPU.
I experienced difficulties when installing the new v14.
If v14 does not work I would have expected a warning popup: "CPU not supported for this Player version"
... but no warning appeared

how to share a guest workstation player 12.5 linux file with the windows host
I found a set of instructions for how to do this in workstation 9 at VMware Workstation Documentation Center , but the first command offered in that document...
mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /home/user1/shares
... modified for my linux username and shared flder name, elicits the error ...
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
It's basic. How do I share a file from guest to host?

Use different DNS server (host vs client)?
I'd like to disable access to my network's dns server on my client machine to prevent internet access - though it will still be connected to my network and the dns server will be "pingable". Is it possible to set the dns server on my virtual machine to enable internet access if it is disabled on the vmware host machine? Thank you.

Vmware workstation player : je ne peux pas avoir plusieurs machine virtuelle ouverte en même temps dans la fenêtre VMware.
Bonjour,
Je viens d'installer vmware workstation player 12.5 sur windows 10 et je constate que une fois je lance une machine virtuelle exemple Kali linux je ne peux avoir acces aux autres machines installées et si je ferme cette station j'ai tout le VMware qui se ferme. Est ce que c'est normal? ou faut-il ouverir chaque machine depuis l'OS hote qui est windows 10. Si oui comment on fait?
Merci

The Specified File is not a virtual disk in VMWare Workstation or player
Long story on how we got here, but it ends with us having what used to be a VM on an external USB drive. I am trying to launch in in workstation and i get the error in the title of this thread. The vmdk seems to be multiple files, so when I try to use the vmware-vdiskmanager to repair/merge the files I get the error "failed failed to convert the disk: The file specified is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf). Is there any way to merge this or any ideas from anyone on how to resolve this issue?
I have attached screenshots of the files that I have and the errors I am getting in cmd from merge and Workstation and player.
Thanks for the help.
