I was so encouraged by the thread on here about running KitKat under VMware that I downloaded and installed Player and tried it out. I've gone through the startup process several times and basically have ended up with the same problem over and over: I can get a step or two into the startup process, but then the screen just goes blank.
For fun, I downloaded/installed Workstation 10 and tried again there (installing from the kitkat iso) and again, gets so far and then just a blank screen. Usually it asks me for the language, sometimes it asks about WiFi, and usually gets no further than that.
Any thoughts why?
