VMServer

[callumtuckey]

hi all
im getting very ..... off with this VMServer
has any body got any good links of were i can get VMServer
from because the last 2 have been file corrupted and even when i get the file downloaded successfully it wont let me open it

can someone refer me to a good link and some instructions in how to install this

it would be very helpful

[SimpleSi]

The only official link is

http://www.vmware.com/download/server/

I don't know if its not working at the moment and I don't want to clutter up the internet by downloading a 150MB file just to prove it works

If its not working , then I'd email Mr VMware and report it as a fault.

regards

Simon

What is the actual message you are receiving? are you using a download manager?

[ChrisH]

Use a download manager to download it. I use the download them all plugin for firefox. Also make sure you have IIS installed as is a pre req for VM Server.

VMWare server will happily install without IIS being present. You will get a warning message and be given the chance to cancel the install, but I've installed it on lots of XP PCs without IIS. Not a problem.
