Comments on: VMware Server 2.0… http://www.oracle-base.com/blog/2008/11/04/vmware-server-20/ Oracle related rants (and lots of off-topic stuff)...

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 07:29:19 +0000 http://www.oracle-base.com/blog/?p=816#comment-100136 Hi. I've not tried 64-bit vista as a host. I use 32-bit Vista on my laptop and 64-bit CentOS 5 on my main machine (quad core 8G ram). No problems on either. I guess it doesn't sit well on 64-bit Vista then. Good to know, but not helpful for you. :( I've heard 64-bit XP is a bit of a pig. Not sure I would downgrade to that. Does VirtualBox work for you? Cheers Tim... Hi.

I have a shiny new 64 bit HP desktop with Vista professional (quad core -6GB ram). According to VMware website, Ver 2.0 needs to be installed on a Server OS (e.g. Windows server 2003), and their list excludes Vista in all forms - am I reading this right? I tried installing 2.0 anyway and the post installation restart crashed Vista. I've also tried installing versions 1.04 - 1.06 but what results is a console that does not have local host, just remote. I did apply settings changes to disable the requirements for signed certificates (I think) although I still get messages. Do I have to go back to XP to get VMware Server working fully with this machine? Not so good for me.
