Using VMware Workstation 15.1. Need some help here. I’m attempting to do a bare metal Veeam recovery of Server 2008R2 into a blank VM but I cannot seem to mount the folder that’s on my external drive that contains the backups. When I go to VM > Removable Devices > and then select my external I get the messages below but when I hit browse the drive isn't listed. Any ideas?
I Have Wrokstation Pro installed on Ubuntu 18.04. Getting an error it can't find gcc 8.3.0 I have 7.4.0 installed... any advise oh fixing this?
Hi please pardon my ignorance on this subject I'm completely new to using VM's , and have tried searching all over google and on other forums to no avail.
I'm using VMWare Workstation Pro 15 My operating system is Windows 10 Pro version 1803 with windows 7x 64 installed on the VM. It's operating extremely slow literally every program takes minutes to load.
Here are the specs of the laptop I'm using, it has 4GB RAM (3.89GB Usable)
I've tried tweaking the settings here for allocated RAM but otherwise I'm clueless,

VMWare Workstation 15.1.0-13591040 (as well as previous 15.0.2 version)
Host: : Windows 10 1803 Build 17134.829 64-bit
Guest: Windows 10 1903 Build 18362.267 64-bit
After applying Windows Update KB405903 (8/8/2019)
The mouse (USB) correctly hovers windows and desktop icons but the clicks and double-clicks are ignored making the system unusable.
I tried all the usual mouse issue resolutions:
- Removing VMWare tools
- Reinstalling VMWare tools
- Deleting Mouse drivers / reinstallaing Mouse driver
- Trying another mouse
- Updating VMWare workstation 15 to the latest 15.1.0-13591040
Nothing worked.
Only restarting Windows in Safe mode + networking enabled to restore mouse click and double click (but this is of course not an option)
I finally uninstalled the Windows Update KB405903 (8/8/1209)
and mouse clicks and double-clicks were working OK again.
Any suggestion?
A tout les fois que j'essaie de créé une VM, j'ai ce message au lancement?
Each time I want to create a VM, I get this message during launch?
Hello Forum,
I'm working with VMware Workstation 9.
I use the bridged network adapter to connect my VMs to the same network as the host system. If I monitor with tcpdump the traffic within one of the VM, I can see the traffic of the other VMs too. So I'm guessing vmnet0 is not a real switch like in the picture from the link? How can I separate the traffic? Will a Workstation Update help?
Thanks

I am running VMWare Workstation 12.5.8 on a Windows 10 64-bit host (Dell G5, almost brand new, decent spec machine). Guest OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit. VMWare Tools is up to date.
Guest OS does not allow window transparency or other Aero features like taskbar preview thumbnails.
If I run the Aero troubleshooter in the guest, it complains that its video driver (which appears to be "VMWare SVGA 3D") is not WDDM compatible. Since my VMWare Tools is updated, how is this so?
Guest OS is also saying that its Windows Experience Index needs to be refreshed. If I run the WEI assessment it complains that it could not measure video playback performance.
These things seem to be related.
The weird thing is, I can run a different Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit guest that doesn't have updated VMWare Tools on the same host, and it will run the WEI assessment without problems.
Hi,
My laptop is connected with wifi Internet.
When I change Network Connection to Bridged Connection, no Internet in VM.
Internet works with NAT connection.
Can I connect using Bridged Connection at wifi?

Running Workstation 15 Pro on Windows 10, with a Windows 10 VM.
I have gone into the VM settings, Options, Advanced and checked the box for 'Enable secure boot', saved the change. Powered On to Firmware.
I can't find a spot to set the TPM password like I would on a physical system.
What am I missing?
Just did a bare-metal restore of a Server 2008R2 machine into VMware workstation and it's working but I notice a ton of event ID 257 and 259's. The exact error is "Unable to start "vmGuestLibrary". Error: "VMware Guest API is not enabled on the host" (3)." Any idea what the cause of this is? VMware tool is installed.
I recently downloaded Workstation Pro 15 for evaluation. While creating a Windows 10 64-bit guest virtual machine, I selected "customize hardware" before completion. I then cleared the option for "accelerate 3d", which displayed the error window with "unknown error" as the text. I am unable to continue at this point; I have to open task manager and end task VMware Workstation. My host operating system is Windows 10, version 1903, 64-bit. I also tried to create a Windows 10 32-bit guest with the same results. I did not try any others operating systems.
hi,
I am using RHEL 7 in my vmware workstation .suddenly i am stuck here (
In a guest Windows 10 VM, I accidentally right clicked the VMware Tools icon in the bottom right then clicked on "Disable Icon". Now it is gone forever!
Where do I find "Enable Icon"???
What a design! Click on "Disable Icon" and then nowhere is there a way to get back to this option!
Please help!!!
在VMware内的Windows10虚拟机在物理机上播放音频时存在很大的延迟，希望查找一下是哪里的问题，谢谢。
I have a win10 host with a debian jessie guest and bridged networking. Host and guest can access everything they should, except they cannot access/ping each other. win10 exports a mount over smb and the linux mounts it and this gives me a shared partition. It has worked in the past. Sometime (maybe a few months ago?) it stopped working. It turns out that host and guest cannot ping each other at all. I also tried a quick new guest and it has the same problem. I also tried the work laptop and host/guest cannot ping each other with bridged networking. And a friend with a winxp guest inside win10 host also cannot ping between each other. This has worked in the past as I used guest accessing host for the shared partition.
Windows 10 Pro version 1607 OS Build 14393.693
VMware® Workstation 12 Player 12.5.1 build-4542065
Is there any magic hoop jumping required now? Or maybe has a small bug crept in and gone unnoticed for a while? I'm thinking I shouldn't have to do anything other than say bridged networking. I've tried reinstalling etc. The fact that at least 3 independent machines exhibit the same issue suggests it's more subtle (or blunt!) than me messing up my home desktop though. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Using WS 9. Trying to build an isolated 'private' network that still has access to the Internet for testing purposes? I have built a VM that has AD, DNS, and DHCP installed. Wondering if it's doable to isolate this VM from the corporate LAN, but allow it to have access to the Internet to d/load patches/security fixes?
I have created the 'private' network as follows (VMnet2):
Thank you

I have installed the Workstation Pro V15.1, and I want to create a new virtual machine. When the software worked at hardware configuration step, I modified the display memory size from 1GB to 3GB,then I push the enter button, the software give a message 'Unknown fault". I can not operate the software, can not close the fault message window and can not operate next step.
After VMWare crash, I am unable to open one of my VMs. I am getting this error:
Please help. VMWare Workstation 14.1.7 build-12989993
Hello to all, I'm trying to build my own home lab for VMware solution testing, mainly to learn about the technologies and how to get arround them (install, configure, manage kind of stuff).
My setup is as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700X, MB: Asrock X370 Taichi UEFI 4.80, 64 GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro with Workstation 14 pro installed atop of it (latest patches on both OS and workstation).
I am able to install a virtual ESXi host (6.5U2) on top of the setup and it runs OK. But when I create a VM on top of this virtual ESX when the VM starts and after it tries to boot, the VM crashes and just powers off. Sometimes it goes through boot OK and starts to load the iso, but then the whole virtual ESX crashes. I tried importing a VM from template to the virtual ESX, but this has the same results.
I tried a couple of UEFI version on the MB, different OS versions and Workstation versions, different OS iso files, but the results are still the same. I have another Intel based PC at home (old i5) and that one works OK and is able to run nested virtualization without any problem (same SW setup).
Is this some limitation of the architecture, or is nested virtualization simply not allowed on Ryzen CPUs? Any way arround it, other than selling this setup and buying a new one?
Recently replaced my smart card with a NIST SP 800-73 smart card. The new card reads on the host, but times out in my Windows 10 VM guest. I am using VMware Workstation 15.1.0 build-13591040.
I've tried forcing passthrough with the following 2 ilnes in my vmx file, but the smart card still times out:
usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE"
usb.ccid.disable = "TRUE"
The reader is recognized in the vmware.log as:
vmx| I125: USB: Found device [name:Realtek\ USB2.0-CRW vid:0bda pid:0169 path:1/0/0/12 speed:high family:storage,storage-bulk,smart-card virtPath:ehci:0 instanceId:USB\\VID_0BDA&PID_0169\\20070818000000000 serialnum:20070818000000000 arbRuntimeKey:15 ownerdisplay:Windows\ 10\ Pro version:3], connected to ehci port 0.
The Windows drivers for both the reader and the card are the same in the host and guest, but Windows event viewer shows the following errors when reading the card in the vm:
Error WudfUsbccidDrv Event ID 1
A Request has returned failure.
MsgType: 0x80

ScCardPowerColdReset: IccPowerOnStatusError

The specified I/O operation on %hs was not completed before the time-out period expired.
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
