t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 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 Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 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
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 i know this might seem silly but do i click on the Binary (.exe) or the Binary (.zip) i feel very silly but i just want to check
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 nope still get that error message all i want is virtual server how hard can it be :x
Colditzz Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 nope still get that error message all i want is virtual server how hard can it be :x What is the actual message you are receiving? are you using a download manager?
ChrisH Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 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.
ajbritton Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 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.
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 thank you every one well i have got it working now the problem now is the host name is wrong any tips
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 yer i have it but it says nothing about this i keep getting that the host is wrong :x
Colditzz Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I've installed VM Server several times, but have never received a message like that! what is your host name?
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 I've installed VM Server several times, but have never received a message like that! what is your host name? do you mean computer name ?
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 my computer name is GOLD im on xp home service pack 2 intel r celeron mcpu [email protected] 1,60 ghz 504 mb of ram
SimpleSi Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 @callum Virtual Server (MS) IS NOT EQUAL TO VMServer (VMWare) Which one are you trying to use? At what stage are you getting the error msg? regards Simon
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 as soon as i try run the program were it say please connect to the host and user name and password
Colditzz Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Thank you. When are you getting this error message? during installation or when trying to launch the console?
Colditzz Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 In that case,it should be as pointed out by ajbritton, select Local Host, enter your username & password, then hit enter.
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 it doest give me a box to tick local host or do i type it in local host
ajbritton Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Assuming you are local admin then you should not need to enter any logon creds.
t_guest Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 were is the box for local host for i can tick it
