OldMan Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 You cannot install VMWare within a Virtual Machine. I´ve had the same problem trying to install it in a VMWare OS. Works fine, otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleri Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Vmware instaled and worked fine for me I tested Vmware buy launching it in my vmware consolethe problem you might be haveing if you are useing the run once method is that the command line entry has lots of quotes in it and you have to make sure you have a \" instead of a "oops after looking at your entry I see the quotes are correct the only thing diffrent on my netry besides the name/sn# and directorys is I have \"'s around my username might give it a try and double check the dir pathsalso my msi is named Vmware Workstation.msi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
