VISTA Install on VMWARE

[Express]

HiYa!

Before I install Vista on a pc I want to test using VMWare, has anyone has success with this? I just started to run the install but I can't go on pass "Select the driver to be installed". What drivers are they talking about?

Nlite_v1.3.ini

Thanks,

Isn't there a licensing restriction on installing Vista like this?

[Express]

Well if I can get pass this screen I may be able to find out, but in either case I can run for 30days before setting up license. cluberti I checked that site but haven't found anything yet.

Thanks,

I was able to get around this today by adding 2 CD rom drives to my image - the first pointing to my actual CD drive, and the second to the Vista .iso. Give that a try.

cluberti, you are correct a colleague of mine pointed that out. All I need it was a cd driver and all is peachy.

Thanks,

Since they updated in v5.5.3 the virtual bios to properly support vista, it works like a breeze

Downloading v5.5.3 right now... thanks.

Anything that requires hardware video acceleration will not work.

To include 3dflip, aero glass, etc.
