How to install a copy of WinXP using VMWare 4 Fusion on my server

Hi all,
I would like to install one virtual Windows XP machine one my server that has VMWare Fusion 4 on it that will be accessible to all my user accounts. I don't one every one to have to have there on virtual XP machine as this eats up valuable disk space. I have done this on a common use mac mini running snow leopard but that required me to put the virtual machine in a shared folder and the access every account and import the virtual copy (but with 5 uses it s not a big deal with 12 is much more of a pain and it feels like I asking for problems down the road as I add and remove users. Any suggestions?
Thanks
JJ

Create a Lion bootable thumb drive using your Macbook pro.
Here's the link on how to do it.

Once you've done that, insert it in your Macbook Air and boot from there.
Follow the instructions on the screen to proceed with the install.
good luck

    The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
    If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
    Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

  • Can anyone tell me how to install logic 8 on lion using pacifist step by step in simple terms please

    can anyone tell me how to install logic 8 on lion using pacifist step PLEASE

    Both psd and tiff are the two formats to use for your master file. Saving as a jpg will flatten the layers and remove any trace of transparency. Tiff has an option in the save as dialog box to compress the file.
    If you find it necessary you could zip older files for archiving.
    Once the raw file has been opened in photoshop, it is no longer considered a raw file, as photoshop has no way to save to that file. Which is why you need to save as a psd or tiff.
    That said, camera raw dialog box and Lightroom will save its edits to a sidecar file, which is why they are considered to be non-destructive. Since you can delete the side care file and start again. It is the combination. Of the raw file and the side car file that ends up in photoshop. Which is one reason why it is recommended to do as much as you can in camera raw or Lightroom first. But the latest version of photoshop allows your photoshop filets be loaded into camera raw as a filter. So that recommendation is not as important as it once was.

    how to install logic 8 on lion using pacifist for dummies Please

    Hi,
    You don't need to uninstall it, but you can drag the old application to the trash when you're sure you're through with it.
    I hope you have the full Logic 8 - if you have bought the upgrade from 7 to 8 you would still need the XS key to install it.

    I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
    Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...
    Clinton
    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

    Hi,
    If you mean how to access eBusiness Suite from within the Virtual Machine, then you just navigate to the same URL you normally would. You may need to put the machine alias in your hosts file if you are referencing it via machine name rather than IP address.
    If you mean that you want to load the form in forms builder (for example) then you need to FTP the form from server to client (as you normally would) and then open it in your client (XP virtual machine).
    If you want to use Workflow Builder (as per your original requirement) then you need to ensure that the TNSNAMES.ora file in the Workflow Builder home has an entry for your instance on Linux, and then you should be able to connect to the database directly.

    virus protection in vmware or on my running OS X 10.8.2??plz help me out
    First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

  • Data1.cab file not extracted when installing Acrobat X on windows under VMWare Fusion 4.0

    When extracting the files to the installation folder, the Data1.cab file is created but it is o kb value. Then when running the setup file, there is an error generated because the setup cannot see a valid data1.cab file

    Manish_1988,
    Thanks for the suggestion but after trying all of the suggestions, I still
    did not have any success.
    I ended up extracting the install files while I was in Oracle Virtual Box
    then used the install files when I was in VMWare Fusion. A bit convoluted
    but it worked.
    Again, thanks anyway.

  • How do I share printing between mac and Vmware Fusion?

    I am trying to print from mac and from Windows XP installed in a virtual machine via VMWare fusion on my IMac. If I am able to print from Mac then when I switch over to Fusion and try to print it errors stating the the printer is disconnected. If I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it will print. Same with mac if it is printing okay on Fusion and I try to print from mac it acts like it is printing but it is not sent to the printer, if I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it prints. Printer sharing and window sharing is on. Any suggestions?

    I suggest you post your question on the Microsoft Mac Office forums as that's where the Office gurus hang out...

  • Shut down issue on 27" iMac running Windows XP using VMWare Fusion 3

    I'm running Windows XP on a 27" iMac using VMWare Fusion 3. When I try to shut down the Mac system without using Windows, a dark (not black) screen covers the screen from top to bottom and presents me with a screen, stating in multiple languages that I must press the power button for 5 seconds and then restart the Mac. Then the iMac will close normally.
    However, if I run both the Mac system and Windows, and then close Windows, VMFWare Fusion 3, followed by the Mac system, the iMac shouts down normally.
    What's going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

    I run XP under Fusion 3 and have not seen this issue. What you are getting is a Kernel Panic. There should be more information in your console logs about the reason.
    Here is some info on KPs to help you.

  • I use VMware Fusion, will it still work if I upgrade to Lion

    I use VMware Fusion to use Quicken in Windows.  Just want to be sure before doing the upgrade to Lion that it will still work?  Thanks in advance.

    You have to check with VMFusion, but my advice is to wait a few more months so the bugs are completely worked out if your very dependent upon things working.
    I run Fusion myself.
