Express Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) 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.iniThanks,EXPRESS Edited December 13, 2006 by Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooky Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Isn't there a licensing restriction on installing Vista like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 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,EXPRESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 cluberti, you are correct a colleague of mine pointed that out. All I need it was a cd driver and all is peachy. Thanks,EXPRESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter.inside Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Since they updated in v5.5.3 the virtual bios to properly support vista, it works like a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
