xtremexxx Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Unfortunately for me, I can't find a way to make VideoChanger or the other way in sif to work in VMware. Still 640x480 and even if I try to run it manualy says it can't set the res on the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Despite I remember I saw that post, but I couldn't find it, either.However, why don't you split your RunOnceEX into two parts?indeed. have a batch file that runs at startup. It will import the first setup, then execute the command to start RunOnceEX, when it done, the batch continues to import the next set of entries, call the command they install. Continue till you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 You can include the video drivers for vmare in your OEM drivers on your install disk. they are only 45Kb or so. From within vmware, after you install vmware tools and drivers, you can find them in the program files\vmware\drivers, I believe. I had that same problem when testing but after adding the vmare video drivers to my installation CD, it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremexxx Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 @jrzycrim Ok will try, how are you running your OEM drivers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 In $OEM$\$1\Drivers\VMware I placed the vmware video drivers. In my Winnt.sif, I added:DriverSigningPolicy = IgnoreOemPnPDriversPath = Drivers\vmwareAdd that to the [unattended] section of your Winnt.sifAlso, you need to install vmware tools in a running Virtual machine and then get the drivers from Program files\Vmware\Drivers\Video or something similar (insided the VM).

xtremexxx Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 I click on Install Vmware tools, and I wait for nothing, I don't see a window and it does not install anything. I can go and click Cancel Install Vmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 You need to have your OS installed on vmware first. Then bootup your VM and then install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremexxx Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Yes, I know and did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hmm, Your vmware tools should install. I think I had the same problem once and had to reboot the vm to get it to install, anyway...Here, try these.VMware Video DriversI modified the inf for a resolution of 1024x768x32. VMware tells you that in order to have a display res higer than 640x480, you have to install the drivers but then it defaults to 640x480 anyway. [vmx_svga_SoftwareDeviceSettings]HKR, , InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, vmx_fbHKR, , VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0HKR, , DefaultSettings.XResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 1024HKR, , DefaultSettings.YResolution, %REG_DWORD%, 768HKR, , DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel, %REG_DWORD%, 32That's what I changed...
