Vmware player and Vmware server

I discovered its impossible to have vmware player and server on a system at the same time. One always prompts that the other be unistalled before the installation can continue

Correct!
It's one ore the other. Full stop.
Just use the VMWare Server = it's free as the Player but allows you to use other peoples VMWare images and also you can create new ones.

  • Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

    Folks,
    Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
    Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
    I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
    I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
    Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
    2.   
    Try the following method:
    Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
    or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

    That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
    and are compatible with Windows 7.

  • VMware Player and mouse not behaving correctly with the vmmouse driver

    I'm running Arch on VMware Player and having problems with the mouse behavior.
    - Arch is updated, 32 -bit
    - VMware Player 6.0.1
    - Host is Windows 8.1 64-bit
    - XFCE 4.10
    If I install xf86-input-vmmouse, the following happens:
    - If cursor touches the edge of the screen when scrolling a window with the scroll bar, scrolling stops. If I continue pressing the mouse button and moving the mouse (and not touching any edges), the scrolling starts working again after two seconds.
    - When opening any new window, hovering and clicking will register only after two seconds. This is very noticeable when opening the application menu and trying to launch any app - first click never works.
    Uninstalling the vmmouse driver fixes the above problems. The mouse "feeling" gets very bad though, it seems jumpy and the acceleration is crazy and can't be tweaked to be satisfactory with the mouse settings. With vmmouse the mouse feels otherwise just fine.
    Installing or uninstalling Open-VM-Tools doesn't do anything.
    I tried this, but it had no effect: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … s_expected
    Happens both in fullscreen and windowed, scrolling behavior happens every time, hover/click lag is not so predictable (seems to happen 50 % of the time).
    Might there be any easy fix for this?

    Hi Sung, Thanks for your reply.
    Leonardo:
    If I understand your msg correctly, I'm wondering if
    the data model as you described is complete.
    You state that you have MaintenanceType, Maintenance,
    and MaintenanceOrder, but don't you need
    MaintenanceOrderLine?MaintenanceOrderLine is what I'm calling Maintenance. A Maintenace record is used just to link a MaintenanceOrder to a MaintenanceType
    >
    Otherwise, you say that you removed all Maintenance's
    in step 2). How did you form a list of all
    Maintenance's in step 4)? How do you form this
    list?
    was raised due to unique constraint violationAt step 3) I'm using a view object, MaintenanceTypeView, to create a list of checkboxes, one for each MaintenanceType.
    At step 4), for each MaintenanceType selected in the form, I'm creating a new Maintenance using:
    //All codes of maintenance types, that already have a
    //respective maintenance record in the db, have already
    //been remove from the maintenancesToInsert list at this
    //point
    for (Iterator iter = maintenancesToInsert.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
    MaintenanceViewRow maintenanceRow = (MaintenanceViewRow) maintenanceView.createRow();
    maintenanceRow.setMaintenanceTypeCode(Integer.valueOf((String)iter.next()));
    maintenanceView.insertRow(maintenanceRow);

  • Vmware Server 1.0.3 and kernel 2.6.22

    Maybe this will be of help to anyone...
    The modules for vmware server 1.0.3 don't compile under 2.6.22-ARCH kernel from testing, and as far as I know there is no patch to fix that automatically yet.  I was able to to compile them successfully using the information from post 11 in this thread: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread. … adID=92709 - the specific file that I had to edit was "/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-ARCH/include/asm-i386/page.h".

    To compile vmware workstation 6 for the new kernel check out this link.

    Hi,
    since I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.18 to .19 I cant get my vmware-server running. Has anybody else this problem?
    I ran vmware-config.pl again but it always crashes with:

    I try to create this error in english later, but maybe u know the problem already. I found sth about a any-any-patch but I couldnt find out if this is related to arch.
    Would be great if somebody could give me a hint.
    Btw, Merry Christmas [/i]

    Merry Christmas to you too.
    Yes. The problem is related to the any-any-patch.
    Get the latest version of the patch and run it. That should solve the problem.
    If for whatever reason it fails then, and only then, look for this file:
    /lib/modules/2.6.18-ARCH/build/include/linux/version.h, and make sure it  contains a line for the UTS_RELEASE, and if it does not, add at the end the following: define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.19-ARCH"
    Then run the patch again.
    Hope it helps.

  • [SOLVED] vmware server and kernel 2.6.26

    I'm having trouble building the vmware-server-modules and I see that there is a patch for the 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 versions of the kernel.  I've got 2.6.26, is there a module patch for this kernel version?

  • [solved] vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 and kernel 2.6.25

    hi,
    i updated to kernel 2.6.25 and tried to reinstall vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 according to the wiki description.
    running the vmware-any-any-update-117-very-ALPHA.tgz patch failed, because vmware-2.6.25.sh tries to patch vmblock.tar, which does not exist. instead of this there is vmppuser.tar in the sources directory.
    any ideas?
    thx & rgds

    with vmware server 1.0.5 the same problem occurs.

    Yeah I have this exact same problem with the current stable version of VMware.  I will definitely try the beta 2.0 and see if my laptop can run Autodesk Inventor with it in a virtual Windows environment.

  • VMWare Server and SBS2011 Essentials

    Trying to configure SBS2011 Essentials on VMware Server (was told it can be done) first I notice there is only the option to install Win Server 2008 / R2 and lower operating systems, is it possible to install SBS2011 on VMWare Server? If not which VM platform is needed?

    Welcome to the Community,
    I assume you are aware of the fact that VMware Server is already out of support for more than a year!? (see http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html) Anyway, SBS 2011 is based on Windows Server 2008 R2 so you may try to install it with the appropriate OS selection.
    If this is intended for production use, I would suggest you consider to use another product (e.g. ESXi 5) if your hardware is supported (see VMware Compatibility Guide: System Search). Do you have other virtual machines too?

  • Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2

    Hi.
    I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
    The package is currently marked as an orphan, so I'll have to adopt it do upload the changes, right?
    Could someone please take a look at this, and say if it is good enough.
    I haven't really made any changes other than adding patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, but since there are some 'not so positive comments' following this package in AUR maybe there is more that should be done?

  • VMware-server: Any way to get this to work? Kernel issues! SOLVED

    Hi all,
    I am trying to get VMware server installed, but am having a lot of difficulty.
    According to multiple sources of information, I am told I need to install vmware-server-modules first.
    When I try to install, yaourt gives the following error: error: target not found: kernel26>=2.6.32.
    When I try to install vmware-server, yaourt gives the error error: target not found: kernel26>=2.6.29.
    FYI:
    $ uname -r
    3.2.5-1-ARCH
    The Wiki deals with VMware Player and Workstation, but not Server. There is a forum/aur information relating to installing Server which is quite old (mostly 2010, some 2011), however given I am running an up-to-date kernel I seem to be hitting a dead end. Is there anyone who knows how to get this working?
    I have seen:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=101982
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6182
    I have tried VirtualBox in the past but have had issues getting the networking properly configured, so VMware remains my preference. If there are other decent virtualisation options I am willing to listen.
    Your assistance would be much appreciated!

    Thank you for your posts. My own research and your comments has convinced me that VMware Server is not the right way forward nowadays.
    EXSi:
    I have an unused  box (Dell GX620 usff) which seems like it would be suitable to run EXSi and 2-3 VMs, but no more due to RAM limits of 4GB on the mobo. I THINK its 64-bit, but not 100% sure - knowing this is an EXSi requirement for recent versions is somewhat annoying. Also, from what I understand, there is no native Linux control application (vSphere is Windows only, right?), which makes VMware feel entirely like the wrong choice for me. 
    Citrix XenServer:
    This looks promising - does anyone use this?
    VirtualBox:
    I hear your comments ... maybe its time to do some reading on this. Seems like I'll only get it to work if I take the time to do it right. As usual, so no suprises there Given that it will be easier to experiment on my usual system than have to spend time on a new box, I think I'll investigate this first.
    Please feel free to leave further comments on this subject - I'm still interested in your experiences. It will however, be marked as SOLVED, as VMware-server is out.

  • Logging into vmware server

    I have installed VMWare Server 2.0.x from AUR.  I cannot figure out how to log into the console.  When running vmware-config.pl the first time I used my normal username as the administrator username.  When I realized it had to be an administrator on the computer, I reran vmware-config.pl and changed the administrator to 'root'.  In both cases it will not accept my password.  I'm stuck and cannot figure out how to proceed from here.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello wikid_one!
    Did you try player or workstation too ?
    Did you try from aur with this packages too: aur/vmware-server, aur/vmware-server-console ?

You can check on the console and ensure the console says that Hardware Virtualization is enabled. If not, check in your BIOS that the processor hardware virtualization is enabled. If you don't have an option, your PC may not have the Intel VT-x or AMD-v extensions required to support hardware virtualization.
    You can check to see if your processor supports this extension by using:
    Intel processor:
    # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmxAMD processor:
    # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svmIf you see a result, it means the processor has that support. You still need to ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS.
