longhorn and vmware

[warlord716]

i just got 4015 with bootfix. i then installed vmware workstation 4 to use this as another OS in adddition to xp. WHen i run daemon tools to use the iso, the install screen comes up fine. but, when i do it through vmware i get the following error:

*** VMware Workstation internal monitor error ***

VM attempting to execute in undefined memory.

We appreciate your feedback,

now i cant send it to them so, any body have any tips with this problem?

these are my thoughts

1.i selected the guest OS as other when setting up this virtual machine...should i have picked something else

2.i read that longhorn needs 3 gigs to install and i made it a max of 5 gigs. but, vmware makes 2 gig sections...is that a problem

any other help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Welcome to MSFN.

But I don't deal with LH or VMWare, so let one of our other members help you.

You should have picked Windows XP Pro. as the OS, and then installed Longhorn...When I tried installing 4008, the VMware program didn't want to stop restarting the guest OS...So I gave up, and now I have a machine where I install OSes...

Im not sure that longhorn will work with vmWare, win2k3 doesn't even work properly in vmWare, it gets to a certain point in the install and then the keyboard doesnt respond. Visentinel has the same problem that i do, so I would recommend connectix virtual PC instead

I dont know about this because you know what I have seen windows 2003 work fine on that certain virtual machine must be the computer???
