Vmware workstation 6.5.3 64bit Install problems

I'm having trouble installing the official Vmware Workstation 6.5.3 64bit bundle from vmware.com. The install always hangs at the Vmware Player configuration.
I've tried both the graphical install, using:
kdesu sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle
and from the command line:
# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle --custom --console
I see no error messages, and the installers stop at the same place in both instances (configuring Vmware Player). The command line version reports the install to stop at 62%. I've left the install run while I was at work (all day), and nothing changed.
When I kill the installer using xkill or killall, I am able to use Player (although I can't run any vms in it), but workstation itself is not installed (I have no /usr/bin/vmware binary).
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using kernel 2.6.30-ARCH. I cannot patch the modules because the install does not complete, before you ask.
Thank you.

My vmware install logs don't really help here but they do show where it trails off into oblivion:

  • Lenovo D20, Type 4155-21G With 5x1.5tb Raid 5, Windows 7 64bit install problem.

    H
    Id like to just document a current machine and works and see if any thing is glaringly wrong..
    Above spec machine has an onboard marrvel 66xx raid card, a raid 5 volume has been created, total useable space is around 5.5TB.
    The software in play here is the following..
    Orignal Lenovo recovery disk set, this is Rescue and recovery boot disk 1, then the OS which is Vista 32 Business, the disk label is actual 64bit but its not 64bit its 32bit.
    The machine finally has to leave with Windows 7 64bit ultimate.
    I have looked into the upgrade paths and so on and basicly you need vista 64bit ultimate in theory, certain hacks are possible such as renaming the os level or name via the registery, but this is dirverting from my post.
    Here is what has been done and what has happend.
    20th Jan.
    Start of day.
    Raid 5 volume created.
    Factory recovery completed windows vista business 32bit.
    Attempt to upgrade Windows vista business to Windows 7 ultimate from with in windows, windows 7 alerts this is not a compatable system etc.
    At this stage since the 64bit upgrade is not possible from the known good lenovo state (lenovo vista business factory desktop etc) the second disks in the "Windows 7 32bit + 64bit any time upgrade package was ran.
    The 32bit version of the Windows 7 ultimate was ran, this did complete sucessfully.
    The 64bit version of the windows 7 was attempted once more from with in the newly installed Windows 7 32 bit but again this upgrade route is not supported.
    At this stage a custom install was completed (which means a fresh install which wipes the drive) / fresh install, of the windows 7 64bit any time upgrade disk.
    For some reason the Windows 7 64bit any time upgrade key failed to be accepted.
    At this stage a second engineer repeated all steps completed to verify and on the second go around the FRESH install of Windows 64bit any time upgrade (stand alone install / custom etc) the key worked!..
    This is were it gets interesting.
    Lets recap, we have a D20 with 5x1.5tb sata hard drives in raid 5, all on the onboard marvel raid card.
    Windows 7 64bit has been sucessfully installed, and of course the next step is to install the lenovo system update tool. (version for windows 7, I understand this is fully 64bit compatable..)
    This was completed and pc doctor and one other misc application install, the system requested to restart and then ....
    The raid BIOS of the marvel card reported that the raid had become degraded..!!
    An inspection of the onboard raid information results that the disk 0 of the 5 disks, was no longer assigned to the RAID 5, with teh remaining several disks still "assigned".
    At this stage the only option is to delete the raid five array and recreate it.
    This has been done and the factory recovery process has once again been restarted and an attempt will be made to perform the custom install with hopefully the windows 7 64bit any time upgrade install detecting the previous version although I would say that it would not need to detect anything since this is now longer an upgrade but a custom fresh install.
    Further information.
    There is a System bios update from the 5th of Jan 2010, this has been burnt to cd and will be applyed against the machine shortly.
    We have had some conversation about just how it is that a disk can fatally pop out from the raid five volume like this, was it a coincidence that it coninsided with the power cycle process dirrectly after the system update installation?
    Tommorow a Windows 64bit OEM package will be applied against this machine and since we have the relivant driver file for the onboard raid card (sourced from the drivers and applications lenovo recovery disk set), there should be less of a problem in key acceptance.
    Kind of a werid situation, what looks like a possible hardware problem and a stupid microsoft upgrade qulification problem.
    Is there any thing stupid I have over looked?
    Thanks, sorry for the long post but this is the story in full.
    Note from Moderator:  Fixed formatting issue.

    21st Jan..
    The D20 has sucessfully had vista business factory reinstalled and then Windows 7 64bit installed.
    Dirrectly after the Windows 7 installation and power cycle, one of the five 1.5tb hard drives have dropped out of the raid, visable as "DEGRADED", uppon further inspection via control m, the middle drive (not drive 0 as before) drive 2 (0,1,2,3,4,5) has dropped out and is not marked as assigned, it is marked with no label or free.
    This is high strangeness, it is my understanding that the RAID technologies are transparent to the OS so it should not be in any way the Windows 7 install triggering this, the last occurance was also during a Windows 7 power cycle but dirrectly after the system update tool being installed.
    At this stage it would appear that Windows 7 64-bit used in conjunction with the supplment driver disk marked as (drivers and apps, windows xp vista, windows 7) is not able to complete and remain stable.
    I suspect a possible driver issue but if this was the case surely the windows 7 install would not progress past the first installation point where the driver disks is required to actually use and see the array via the controler.
    I will update this thread with more information as it becomes available.
    Machine delivery eta to customer is tommorow so this is not good.

  • Oracle Linux 6.2 64bit install problem

    Hi all,
    I had a installation problem of 64bit Oracle Linux 6.2 with HP proliant dl380 g7 (build-in P410i array controller),
    when i try to install the OS, it will keep in black screen after loading the vmlinuz.
    I had try the 5.8 32bit version it can pass the vmlinuz.
    So, I guess it may be related to driver.
    Does any one can help me fix this problem.
    thanks,
    Kenny

    I suggest to try the following:
    When the bootloader screen prompts you to press any key to enter the menu... press any key.
    Move the cursor to your default Linux kernel, normally Oracle Linux UEK and press the letter 'e'.
    Move the cursor down 1 line to the kernel parameter and press the letter 'e' again.
    Add the word "nomodset".
    If you want to see more details, remove "rhgb quiet"
    Press the Enter key when done
    Press the letter 'b' to boot the system
    If all works, edit /etc/grub.conf and modify the kernel parameter line for a permanent change.

  • Win7 and newest itunes 64bit install problem

    I have not seen my itunes installation problem here on the forum yet. I hope someone can help.
    I completely removed Itunes per the Apple instructions, in the correct order, and verified all was gone from the computer. I downloaded the latest version for my 64bit computer (Win7), which currently is 10.5.1 for windows 64bit system. After installing it, I receive a message saying that "this ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes then reinstall the 64bit version of itunes.
    I've done that no less than 4 times now, same message. Has someone a fix or idea for this problem?

    Try to use 10.3 instead, the 10.5.1 dont work on all PC computers, I  couldent install the 10.5.1 but 10,3 installes without any problem. I have a  good cumputer so it is nothing wrong there so it is only a bad program from apple.

    Are you sure that you are trying to install the correct version? It seems like it's for Microsoft Windows Itanium (64-bit) edition.

  • Installing vmware-workstation-6.5.3 with kernel26-2.6.32 walkthrough

    I changed my Fedora 10 laptop to Archlinux 2 weeks ago (and I'm loving it).
    So, I also had to move my vmware-workstation-6.5.3 to my new distro, and also all my virtual machines.
    I followed  the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware) but until I had a working vmware, I had to do something different from the instructions.
    So, I post here my walkthrough, if someone needs it.
    Vmware package and kernel:
    - VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle.
    - kernel26-2.6.32.1-1
    1. As root cd to the directory where is VMware-Workstation and follow these steps:
    [root@hp]# mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/{rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d,init.d}
    [root@hp]# export VMWARE_SKIP_MODULES=true
    [root@hp]# sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle --console --custom
    2. Read and accept EULA and go on.
    3. Then press enter to all answers except "System service runlevels", where you must enter /etc/rc.d/vmware/, like in the example:
    Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes
    System path prefix.  Please note that choosing a path other than /usr
    may result in missing icons, application launchers, and other desktop
    integrations [/usr]:
    System lib directory [/usr/lib]:
    Architecture-independent files [/usr/share]:
    User level binaries [/usr/bin]:
    Super user level binaries [/usr/sbin]:
    Documentation [/usr/share/doc]:
    Manual pages [/usr/share/man]:
    Header files [/usr/include]:
    System configuration files [/etc]:
    System service runlevels: /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/       <<--------------------------------
    System service scripts [/etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d]:
    Path to Eclipse directory for use with Integrated Virtual Debugger
    (optional):
    The product is ready to be installed.  Press enter to begin
    installation or Ctrl-C to cancel.
    4. Now exit from root and become normal user again. Then run vmware command.
    [memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
    It asks to compile modules and you must press de "_Install" button.
    After some ERROR messages it asks you the root passord and then it starts to compile modules.
    Finally it starts vmware.
    5. You must close it again and do this as root:
    [root@hp]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
    6. Then with your favorite editor, include "vmware" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to allow vmware modules to load while computer boots:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... ... vmware)
    7. You must substitute /sbin/lsmod with /bin/lsmod in the file /etc/rc.d/vmware/init.d/vmware with your favorite editor or use this command instead:
    [root@hp]# sed -i 's/\/sbin\/lsmod/\/bin\/lsmod/g' /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware
    8. Restart vmware services and load modules with this command:
    [root@hp]# /etc/rc.d/vmware restart
    9. There is a common mouse problem (it loses focus outside VGA area 640x480) because of GTK+ new version. To avoid this issue, add this line to the end of "/etc/vmware/bootstrap":
    # /etc/vmware/bootstrap
    export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes
    10. Now you can  start as normal user:
    [memyselfandi@hp]$ vmware
    Or in the gnome menu "System Tools" --> "VMware Workstation"
    I didn't experiment any problems with keycodes. I don't know, but they seem to be solved in 6.5.3 version(?)
    Hope this help someone!

    My vmware install logs don't really help here but they do show where it trails off into oblivion:

  • Lot of troubles (impossible) installing Solaris 10 on VMware Workstation 6

    Hi, i'm experiencing troubles trying to install Solaris 10 x_86 (the last release) on VMware Workstation 6.
    During the creation of the virtual machine I selected Solaris 64bit (I'm running an Intel Core2Duo CPU), selected the first ISO image and boot up the virtual machine. The installation of the first cd went just fine.
    During the installation of the second cd, at a certain percent (sometimes ~50%, or later) the virtual machine reboots: I select the first choice on grub menu, but Solaris tolds me that something about the root repository (I don't remember well) is out of sync, and suggest me to reboot in failsafe mode and repair it; I did it and reboot...Doing this way I installed the second cd, but for the third (it happened the same -reboot- problem) it didn't work:
    after fixed the repository in failsafe mode, and after reboot it doesn't start the installer, and shows this message:
    http://img469.imageshack.us/my.php?image=solarishangsoi3.png
    Please help me! I don't really know where/what I'm doing wrong...
    Thanks really a lot for any help.
    Regards
    Gabriele

    Simply Great, I had to Reboot the OS and I went to Failsafe mode where it went to single user mode and ask to update boot_archive, that worked.
    When i Shutdown and Rebooted the System i could see system booting nicely and then it gave me bunch of Errors.
    I think i will go and Do a Fresh Install again :(

  • Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

    Dear Team,
    Thanks in advance. 
    I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
    This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.'' 
    i have tried changing the initial install option of OS  to ''other''. But still its the same.
    Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key. 
    if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

    I have the same problem here.
    With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
    Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message:  ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
    license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
    BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
    Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

  • Issues on Installing Oracle on Windows Server 2008 Guested on VMware Workstation 10

    I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on Windows Server 2008 Guested on VMware Workstation 10 but I am getting this Warning on Enterprise Manager Configuration  at the end of installation.
    Besides, when I tried to connect to hr database through Oracle SQL Developer I am getting following error:
    Can you please let me know what I have done wrong? and how can I fix This? Thanks

    I need to install and configure Active Directory and DNS service on a
    remote Windows Server 2008 R2 which has a public facing IP, gateway

    IP Address: xx.xx.93.158
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
    Default Gateway: xx.xx.93.157
    DNS: xx.xx.64.10
    I have experience on installing AD and DC, DNS services on local
    servers (which then the server becomes the DC for the local network)
    but I hesitate to do this on a publicly facing production server.
    Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a proper guide for my case.
    Would appreciate if someone could guide me on the steps I need to
    take so that I will not disturb the current network settings. (A
    little down time for installing the services and features is ok as
    long as I don't lose connectivity)
    Thanks
    You want to install AD on an Internet Server?
    According to your description your server has one public IP-address and
    no internal IP-address and you want to install AD on this Internet
    server?? Is that correct??
    Can you tell us the intended use of this server. Do you want to host
    services on this server, which need AD authentication?
    If you have a second NIC and your DC is on another local machine I
    would not expose your local AD on an public accessible server. If this
    server shall become a DC it should not have more than one IP-address.
    If you want to access data on this server via Internet securely I would
    recommend a VPN solution - preferably not running on the server itself
    but on a separate firewall between the server and the internet. In this
    case I would have no see a big security problem running AD on this
    server.

  • Problem rebuilding VMWare Workstation 10.0.2 Modules

    Hi,
    today I updated my Kernel to 3.14.2-1 and wanted to rebuild the modules for VMware Workstation 10.0.2. Doing so causes the following error.
    I used this patch before http://pastie.org/pastes/9090538/.
    Has there been major changes between 3.14.1-1 and 3.14.2-1 which cause this problems? It worked before. Someone else experiences this?

Is there is any options to be Enabled to let the EM work on Win 2003 server or it's work normally as win XP ,Vista ???
    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    Assuming Windows OracleDBConsole(sid) service is up and running on your virtual machine, issue you are facing could be a browser setting. You should add https://hostname into trusted sites in Internet Explorer or have something similar done with Mozilla Firefox (if that is your prefered browser). After that you'll get a login screen.
    Hope this helps.
