Illen Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Hi, if anyone is interested, I got VMware Player 16.0 "official" release working on Windows 7. Download: http://69.112.236.57/nextcloud/index.php/s/RWKwBkLoFPdWz93 This is still largely untested, especially the VMware installer is flaky, but VMware itself works very well on my main Win7. You're supposed to reboot right after the installation and then put contents of vmware16_win7 folder in VMware\VMware Player\x64. The video: Edit: Added the VMware Workstation installer. If license key registration fails, try to install VMware Workstation 15.x first, and then directly upgrade to 16.

Looks like I will need some sort of Windows 7 extended kernel Man, I thought this was day was long in the future... sad to see it coming up so soon... On an unrelated note, glad to see there are other fellow W7+ users also part of the "Never Combine/Use small icons" club... welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to see if I can disassemble the previous patch, and figure out what all was changed, then apply it to 16.1.0 Edit: NVM, the url already has patches for 16.1.0 Edited November 21, 2020 by asdf2345 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunryze Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi, its been a few months but I am having an issue. I managed to get the UI installed and everything, but when booting up a VM I get this: I can tell it mentions that the vmx86.sys driver is out of date, but where am I supposed to update it?

WalksInSilence Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Not sure if this is relevant here as I'm using a much older version of VMWare Player but this week, for the first time in months, I had a Windows update prompt which was actually a new driver version for it. Worth checking your Windows updates to see if that driver is available to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
