nuSharper Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 everytime i launch VMWare Server 1.0.5 while logged as a Restricted User i get the following error:VMware Server unrecoverable error: (vmui)Cannot get temporary directory for log file.on the other hand, VMWare opens fine if i use Run As > Administrator. note that i'm not talking about the VMs.... those are fine. it's VMWare -- the program -- which refuses to load under non-Administrator accounts. is that normal? my guess is that i have a permission problem, but i cant find it. i've tried re-installing VMWare Server several times, but it's been pointless.any suggestions? btw, my Host OS is Windows XP Home.
nuSharper Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 just an update to my own post.... according to a thread at the VMWare Forum, it's not possible to run VMWare Server as a Restricted User because the programneeds unrestricted access to the Host OS's hardware.here is more info on this issue: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/135163
