Installing Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008

Posted by Unknown | 17:52 Categories: , ,
Over the last couple of days I have been setting up Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 RTM. No matter what I tried, I was stuck in a Catch-22: If I logged in as Local Admin on the box, I didn't have permission to make the necessary changes to the domain; if I logged in as Domain Admin, I didn't have permission to write to the local log file on the C:\ drive of the Exchange server. I kept getting errors like the one at right from the GUI, or this one from the command line:

Failed to initialize the log file: Access to the path 'C:ExchangeSetupLogs\ExchangeSetup.log' is denied.

Setup will not continue.

Those are NOT the most descriptive errors. If I logged in as local admin, those errors went away, but instead I received errors that the local admin account didn't have the rights to make massive changes to the domain (shocker).

I posted on the Microsoft Technet Exchange forums, and hardly anyone read my post, much less answered it. One person responded that they had the same problem, so I knew it wasn't just me. I noticed that I couldn't run the basic commands that install Windows 2008 components, like PowerShell without getting similar errors. It didn't matter if it was on a Hyper-V VM, or a physical server, I could not resolve the problem.

Then I had an idea. I knew that Windows 2008 and Vista are the same underneath, and I remember that the first thing I did when I installed Vista was to disable UAC. . . hmm. . . yep, that was the problem. Here is where you do it on Windows 2008, just like in Vista:

How To: Step by Step - Install Windows 7 through USB on PC without DVD / CD – Download Tool

Posted by Unknown | 17:49 Categories: , ,
We have earlier written many articles on how to install Windows 7 through USB & how to install Windows XP through USB all of which are bit lengthy options. While in this article we will be giving you a new tool by Microsoft which helps you in installing the OS on a netbook without CD/DVD Drive within a few minutes.
System Requirements :

  • Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended
  • 50MB of free space on your hard drive
  • DVD-R drive or 4GB removable USB flash drive
First of all you need to Download Windows 7 onto your computer and have the ISO File ready. Next download the tool from Microsoft website here and install it on your computer. Once its installed you need to run the USB Tool and you will get the option to Choose ISO File from your computer or the Optical Drive.

Windows USB DVD Choose ISO
Once you have selected the right ISO file based on the correct OS version ie 32bit or 64bit you will have to next proceed to the selection of media type. This means that you will be given with a option to either select a USB Device or DVD. In our case since we are going to install this OS on the Samsung N148 Plus Netbook we will be selecting the first option.
Windows USB DVD Choose Media Type
Next you will have to select the Removable Drive on which you would like to install this feature.
Windows USB DVD Insert USB Device
If there is not enough space on your USB Pen drive or if its not in the right format you would get a error for the same. Next you will have to Erase the USB Drive.
Not Enough Free Space
In the last and final step, the bootable USB device would be created following which the ISO files from the source would be copied to the destination.
Windows USB DVD Create Bootable USB
That’s it, the bootable USB is now created which you can insert into your netbook or laptop and install the OS without any issues. You just need to ensure that you enter the BIOS and set the booting option to your USB Drive in order to boot from this external drive and proceed with the installation.

Very Useful Free Utilities Downloads - PortQryUI for Windows 2003 XP 2000

Posted by Unknown | 17:47 Categories: , , , ,
PortQryUI – Troubleshoot TCP/IP connectivity issues in 2003/XP/2000

PortqryUI is GUI interface for portqry command line utility.This utility reports the port status of target TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports on a local computer or on a remote computer. PortQry version 2.0 also provides detailed information about the local computer’s port usage.

Depending on the process that listens on a UDP port, sometimes it may be difficult to determine the status of that UDP port. When an unformatted zero-length or fixed-length message is sent to a target UDP port, the port may or may not respond. If the port responds, it has a status of LISTENING. If you receive an ICMP “Destination unreachable” message from a UDP port, or if a TCP reset response is returned from a TCP port, the port has a status of NOT LISTENING. Typical port scanning tools report that the port has a LISTENING status if the target UDP port does not return an ICMP “Destination unreachable” message. This result may not be accurate for one or both of the following reasons:


• When there is no response to a directed datagram, the target port may be FILTERED.

• Most services do not respond to an unformatted user datagram that is sent to them.

Typically, only one correctly formatted message that uses the session layer or that uses the application layer protocol that the listening service or the program understands elicits a response from the target port.

When you troubleshoot a connectivity problem, especially in an environment that contains one or more firewalls, it is useful to know if a port is being filtered or if it is listening. PortQry includes some special features to help make this determination on selected ports. If there is no response from a target UDP port, PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or FILTERED. PortQry then sends a correctly formatted message that the listening service or program understands. PortQry uses the correct session layer or application layer protocol to determine if the port is listening. PortQry uses the Services file that is located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to determine which service listens on each port.

Note This file is stored on each Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000-based computer.

Because PortQry is intended as a troubleshooting tool, it is expected that users who use it to troubleshoot a particular problem have sufficient knowledge of their computing environment. PortQry version 2.0 supports the following session layer and application layer protocols:

• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
• Domain Name System (DNS)
• NetBIOS Name Service
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA)
• SQL Server 2000 Named Instances
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
• Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

Hard Drive Recovery in Case of Physical Damage to Your Hard Disk

Posted by Unknown | 17:43 Categories: , , ,
While trying to start a Windows XP based computer, an error can occur, following which the data in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. If the reason behind, is the physical damage to the hard drive of your computer, you badly need expert hard drive recovery services to recover your valuable data. The error can be as below:


"Setup did not find any hard drives installed on your computer "

Cause:

Analyzing the above error message, the first thing that comes into the mind is that the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) has not detected the hard disk and the data is inaccessible. Sometimes, there are more than one possible cause lie behind a single error message. Here, the above error can be caused due to any of the following problems:

There is some sort of malfunctioning to the MBR (Master Boot Record)of the hard disk.
The initial sector or sector 0 of the hard disk contains incorrect MBR.
The particular partition, which contains the MBR is no longer active or is incompatible.
The hard disk of the computer has got physically damaged.

Resolution:

It is the best way to start the resolution process systematically and with checking out the simple things first. We may never know, if it is just an instantaneous error and will go as simply as it had appeared. To begin with, you should start verifying whether the BIOS recognizes the hard disk and lists it or not. If the BIOS is unable to detect the hard disk drive,you need to try repairing the MBR. Go to the Windows recovery console by pressing the key 'R' at the startup and run the command 'fixmbr'. If the problem is still unsolved after running the 'fixmbr' command, there lies a serious problem with the hard disk and you need professional hard disk data recovery solution to recover back your data.

Note: If the computer has any problem related to the hardware or the error is due to any virus/malware intrusion, the 'fixmbr' command may trigger more trouble by making the partition completely inaccessible. Hence, it is advised to throughly run an anti virus prior to the 'fixmbr' command. Hard drive has many sensitive parts in it, such as platter, head, PCB, spindle motor etc and any small problem to one of them can cause serious data loss or inaccessibility in a hard disk. Hence, one thing you must remember that in no case, you try to open the hard disk by your own in an ordinary environment. In ordinary environment, dust particles may go inside and damage the platter beyond recovery. Any troubled hard drive should only be opened inside a CLASS 100 Clean Room, which is a controlled environment containing less than 100 dust particles of size below 0.5 microns.

Stellar data recovery is a specialized hdd data recovery company in India. With years long experience, skilled recovery engineers, world class hard drive recovery tools, techniques and CLASS 100 Clean Room labs Stellar has been successfully rendering its services across 12 different cities in India.

How To Install Windows 95 as a Guest Operating System in VMware Workstation 3.2 Step By Step for beginners

Posted by Unknown | 16:31 Categories: , ,

How To Install Windows 95 as a Guest Operating System in VMware Workstation 3.2 Step By Step for beginners

Windows 95 Installation Guidelines

You can install Windows 95 in a virtual machine using a standard Windows 95 boot floppy and CD-ROM.
Note: Some Microsoft Windows 95 OEM disks included with new computers are customized for those computers and include device drivers and other utilities specific to the hardware system. Even if you can install this Windows 95 operating system on your actual computer, you may not be able to install it within a VMware Workstation virtual machine. You may need to purchase a new copy of Windows to install within a virtual machine.
Note: Some Windows 95 distributions provide instructions that do not include the steps to FDISK and FORMAT a C: drive. You must FDISK and FORMAT the VMware Workstation virtual hard disk drives before running Windows 95 setup.
The instructions below are for the simplest case of one virtual IDE hard drive and one virtual IDE CD-ROM drive. If you have configured the virtual machine with more than one IDE hard drive, you should also FDISK and FORMAT these drives before installing Windows 95. If you have configured the virtual machine with more than one virtual hard drive or more than one virtual CD-ROM, you may need to use different device letters than those in the instructions below.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created a directory for the new virtual machine and configured it using the VMware Workstation New Virtual Machine Wizard (on Windows hosts) or Configuration Wizard (on Linux hosts).
Installation Steps
  1. Use the VMware Workstation Configuration Editor to verify the virtual machine's devices are set up as you expect before starting the installation. For example, if you would like the Windows 95 setup program to install a sound driver, be sure that sound is enabled in the virtual machine's configuration. VMware also recommends that you disable the screen saver on the host system before starting the installation process.
  2. Insert the Windows 95 CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk in floppy drive A: and insert the Windows 95 CD in the CD-ROM drive.
  3. Power on the virtual machine.
  4. After the virtual machine boots, if you are presented with a choice of CD-ROM drivers, select the first IDE driver option available (even if your computer has a SCSI CD-ROM drive).
  5. Partition the virtual disk.
    A:\> FDISKAnswer the questions. Note: If you create a primary partition that is smaller than the size of the hard disk, be sure the partition is marked active.
  6. Reboot Windows 95. If the cursor is not already within the VMware Workstation window, click in the window, then press Ctrl-Alt-Ins on a Windows host or Ctrl-Alt-Del on a Linux host. If prompted on reboot to select a CD-ROM driver, select the first IDE CD-ROM driver from the list.
  7. Format the C: drive.
    A:\> FORMAT C: /S
  8. Start the Windows 95 installation.
    A:\> D:\WIN95\SETUP /IS Note: An intermittent problem can occur during Windows 95 installations in a virtual machine. Shortly after the Windows 95 Setup program is started, Scandisk runs to completion, and when the Windows 95 Setup program should start its graphical user interface, the virtual machine returns to an MS-DOS prompt. VMware recommends you reboot the virtual machine and rerun Windows 95 Setup. You do not need to FDISK or FORMAT the drive again. If this problem occurs reproducibly, please report it to VMware technical support.
  9. If the virtual machine's Ethernet adapter is enabled, you have to manually add an Ethernet driver because Windows 95 does not detect it during the Analyzing Computer phase (even if you selected the Network Adapter detection option). Do the following to enable networking:
    1. Continue with the Windows 95 installation, until you get to the Windows 95 Setup Wizard/Setup Options screen. Change the default setting from Typical to Custom and click Next to continue.
    2. From the Network Configuration screen (which appears after the Analyzing Computer phase), click Add, select the Adapter component, select Advanced Micro Devices from the manufacturer window and AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter(PCI&ISA) from the network adapter window.
    3. If you need TCP/IP networking, add it from the Network Configuration screen (Windows 95 Setup does not enable TCP/IP by default). If you don't do this, the first phase of the Windows 95 installation does not copy some of the files it will need later, and the entire installation fails. Also be sure that the Microsoft NetBEUI protocol is installed. It may not be installed by default.
  10. Finish the Windows 95 installation.
  11. VMware Workstation's virtual disks support DMA transfers for better performance. The feature can be enabled after Windows 95 has been successfully installed on a virtual IDE disk. Follow these steps to enable the feature:
    1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
    2. From the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab.
    3. Double-click the Disk Drives device category.
    4. Double-click the GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE01 device.
    5. Click the Settings tab and select the DMA check box.
VMware Tools Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see Installing VMware Tools.
Enabling Sound After Installing Windows 95 If sound was disabled at the time you installed Windows 95, you can enabled it after the operating system has been installed. To set up the virtual machine to play sound, see Configuring Sound in VMware Workstation.
Enabling Networking After Installing Windows 95 If networking was disabled at the time you installed Windows 95, you can enable it after the operating system has been installed. To set up networking for a virtual machine, follow the instructions below.
Windows Host
  1. Shut down Windows 95 and power off the virtual machine.
  2. From the VMware Workstation window, on the Settings menu, choose Configuration Editor and click Add.
  3. Follow the instructions in the Add Hardware Wizard to add a virtual Ethernet adapter.
  4. Power on the virtual machine.
  5. When Windows 95 reboots, it auto-detects an AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter (PCI&ISA) and prompts for the Windows 95 CD-ROM to install drivers. The default Ethernet adapter settings should work fine and do not need to be changed.
  6. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel to view or change network settings. For example, you may want to add the TCP/IP protocol since Windows 95 does not install it by default.
Linux Host
  1. Shut down Windows 95 and power off the virtual machine.
  2. From the main program window, on the Settings menu, choose Configuration Editor and open the Ethernet Adapters panel.
  3. Select a network connection type for the virtual machine and click the Install button.
  4. Click OK to save the updated configuration, then power on the virtual machine.
  5. When Windows 95 reboots, it auto-detects an AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter (PCI&ISA) and prompts for the Windows 95 CD-ROM to install drivers. The default Ethernet adapter settings should work fine and do not need to be changed.
  6. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel to view or change network settings. For example, you may want to add the TCP/IP protocol since Windows 95 does not install it by default.
Known Issues After Windows 95 has been installed, you may find that networking is not working in the guest operating system. There are several things you should check.
  • Either remove your virtual machine's virtual USB adapter using the Configuration Editor (Settings > Configuration Editor) or - if your release of Windows 95 includes USB support - be sure the USB drivers are installed.
  • Check the Windows 95 Device Manager to see if COM5 and COM6 devices are listed. If they are, disable or remove them.
  • Be sure that NetBEUI was installed when you set up networking.
  • Be sure that Windows 95 Plug and Play properly detected the virtual Ethernet adapter. If it did not, you may need to use the Device Manager to remove the adapter, then reinstall it using the Add New Hardware control panel.
On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.
After Windows 95 has been installed, you may notice Unknown, COM5 and COM6 devices exist in the Windows Device Manager. These devices do not actually exist and are not consuming IRQ or other resources. You may remove them using the Windows Device Manager if you like.
Support for EMM386.EXE and other memory managers is currently limited. If you plan to boot initially using a customized non-standard MS-DOS or Windows 95 boot disk, be sure that EMM386.EXE (or other memory manager) is not being loaded. HIMEM.SYS and RAMDRIVE.SYS can be loaded and used without problems.

How To Install Windows NT as a Guest Operating System in VMware Workstation 3.2 Step By Step for beginners

Windows NT Installation Guidelines 

You can install Windows NT 4.0 (Workstation or Server) in a virtual machine using the standard Windows NT CD.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created a new virtual machine and configured it using the VMware Workstation New Virtual Machine Wizard (on Windows hosts) or Configuration Wizard (on Linux hosts).
Windows NT Installation Steps
  1. Use the VMware Workstation Configuration Editor to verify the virtual machine's devices are set up as you expect before starting the installation. For example, if you would like networking software to be installed during the Windows NT installation, be sure the virtual machine's Ethernet adapter is configured and enabled. VMware also recommends that you disable the screen saver on the host system before starting the installation process.
  2. Insert the Windows NT CD in the CD-ROM drive.
  3. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Windows NT.
  4. If you have enabled the virtual machine's Ethernet Adapter, an AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter is detected and set up automatically. The default settings should work fine and do not need to be changed.
  5. Finish the Windows NT installation.
  6. VMware Workstation's virtual disks support DMA transfers for better performance. You can enable the feature after Windows NT has been successfully installed. You need the NT Service Pack 3 or 4 CD to enable this option. Once the virtual machine is running Windows NT, insert the SP3 or SP4 CD in the drive, run DMACHECK.EXE from the \SUPPORT\UTILS\I386 folder on the CD and click the Enabled option for the IDE controller/channel that is configured with the virtual disk (typically channel 0 only, unless you have the virtual machine configured with multiple virtual disks). The DMA option should not be enabled for any IDE channel that has a CD-ROM drive configured for it. Enabling it causes an error.
    Note: DMA is always enabled on SCSI virtual disks.
    Note: If you have a virtual disk and a CD-ROM attached as master and slave to the primary IDE controller (channel 0) and you want to enable DMA, power off the virtual machine and use the Configuration Editor to move the CD-ROM to the secondary IDE controller (channel 1) at IDE 1:0. Then boot the virtual machine with Windows NT, run DMACHECK and enable DMA for channel 0 only.
VMware Tools Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see Installing VMware Tools.
Setting up a Windows NT 4.0 Guest with Multiple Disks To set up a virtual machine running Windows NT 4.0 and using multiple disks, you must first create a virtual machine with only one disk. Install Windows NT on that disk. Then use the Configuration Editor (Settings > Configuration Editor) to add the additional disks.
In addition, note that if you have a Windows NT 4.0 guest with a SCSI virtual disk, you cannot add both an additional SCSI disk and an IDE disk to the configuration.
Enabling Networking After Installing Windows NT If networking was disabled at the time you installed Windows NT, you can enable it after the operating system has been installed. To set up networking for a virtual machine, follow the instructions below.

How To Install Windows XP as a Guest Operating System in VMware Workstation 3.2 Step By Step for beginners

Windows XP Installation Guidelines
You can install Windows XP Home Edition or Professional in a virtual machine using the corresponding Windows XP distribution CD.
Note: To use SCSI disks in a Windows XP virtual machine, you need a special SCSI driver available from the download section of the VMware Web site at www.vmware.com/download. Follow the instructions on the Web site to use the driver with a fresh installation of Windows XP. If you have a virtual machine with a SCSI virtual disk and a Windows 9x, Windows Me, Windows NT or Windows 2000 guest operating system and want to upgrade it to Windows XP, install the new SCSI driver before upgrading the operating system.
Installation Steps If you want to run Windows XP Home Edition or Professional in a VMware Workstation virtual machine, be sure you have a full installation CD for the operating system.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created a new virtual machine and configured it using the VMware Workstation New Virtual Machine Wizard (on Windows hosts) or Configuration Wizard (on Linux hosts). Make sure you selected Windows XP as your guest operating system.
Now, you're ready to install Windows XP Home Edition or Professional.
Installing the Guest Operating System
  1. Use the VMware Workstation Configuration Editor to verify the virtual machine's devices are set up as you expect before starting the installation. For example, if you would like networking software to be installed during the Windows XP installation, be sure the virtual machine's Ethernet adapter is configured and enabled. VMware also recommends that you disable the screen saver on the host system before starting the installation process.
  2. Insert the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
  3. Power on the virtual machine to start installing the guest operating system.
  4. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine, except as noted in the following steps.
  5. After the system reboots, a message balloon asks if you want Windows to automatically correct your screen resolution and color depth setting. Do not make the change at this time. You cannot change resolution and color depth until you have installed the VMware SVGA driver - part of the VMware Tools package.
  6. Run the VMware Tools installer. For details, see Installing VMware Tools.
  7. When the guest operating system reboots, allow it to change the screen resolution and color depth setting.
VMware Tools Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details on installing VMware Tools, see Installing VMware Tools.
Enabling Sound in a Windows XP Guest Windows XP does not automatically detect and install drivers for ISA sound cards, such as the Creative Labs Sound Blaster emulated in a virtual machine. For details on installing the driver for the virtual machine's sound card, see Sound in a Windows XP or Windows .NET Server Guest.
Known Issues The Microsoft Windows XP product activation feature creates a numerical key based on the virtual hardware in the virtual machine where it is installed. Changes in the configuration of the virtual machine may require you to reactivate the operating system. There are some steps you can take to minimize the number of significant changes.

  • Set the final memory size for your virtual machine before you activate Windows XP. When you cross certain thresholds - approximately 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB - the product activation feature sees the changes as significant. Note: The size reported to the Windows product activation feature is slightly less than the actual amount configured for the virtual machine. For example, 128MB is interpreted as falling in the 64MB-127MB range.
  • Install VMware Tools before you activate Windows XP. When the SVGA driver in the VMware Tools package is installed, it activates features in the virtual graphics adapter that make it appear to Windows XP as a new graphics adapter.
  • If you want to experiment with any other aspects of the virtual machine configuration, do so before activating Windows XP. Keep in mind that you have 30 days for experimentation before you have to activate the operating system.
  • In order to install and run a checked (debug) build of Windows XP in a virtual machine, you must first edit the virtual machine configuration (.vmx or .cfg) file. Add the following line: uhci.forceHaltBit = TRUE
For more details on Windows XP product activation, see the Microsoft Web site.
On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.
The hibernation feature is not supported in this release. Instead of using the guest operating system's hibernate feature, suspend the virtual machine by clicking Suspend on the VMware Workstation toolbar.

How To Install VMware Workstation 3.2 on a Windows Host Step By Step for beginners 

Installing VMware Workstation 3.2 on a Windows Host

Getting started with VMware Workstation is simple. The key steps are
  1. Install the VMware Workstation software as described in this section.
  2. Start VMware Workstation and enter your serial number. You need to do this only once - the first time you start VMware Workstation after you install it.
  3. Create a virtual machine using the New Virtual Machine Wizard. See Creating a New Virtual Machine.
  4. Install a guest operating system in the new virtual machine. You need the installation media (CD-ROM or floppy disks) for your guest operating system. See Installing a Guest Operating System and VMware Tools.
  5. Install the VMware Tools package inside your virtual machine for enhanced performance. See Installing VMware Tools.
  6. Start using your virtual machine.
Before you begin, be sure you have
  • A computer and host operating system that meet the system requirements for running VMware Workstation. See Host System Requirements.
  • The VMware Workstation installation software. If you bought the packaged distribution of VMware Workstation, the installation software is on the CD in your package. If you bought the electronic distribution, the installation software is in the file you downloaded.
  • Your VMware Workstation serial number. The serial number is included in the VMware Workstation package or in the email message confirming your electronic distribution order.
  • The installation CD or disks for your guest operating system.
Installing the VMware Workstation Software
  1. Log on to your Microsoft Windows host as the Administrator user or as a user who is a member of the Windows 2000 Administrators group. Caution: Do not install VMware Workstation on a Windows NT Server 4.0 system that is configured as a primary or backup domain controller.
    Note: On a Windows XP or Windows .NET Server host computer, you must be logged in as a local administrator (that is, not logged in to the domain) in order to install VMware Workstation.
    Note: Although you must be logged in as an administrator to install VMware Workstation, a user with normal user privileges can run the program after it is installed. Keep in mind that you need one license for each user.
  2. If you are installing from a CD, from the Start menu, choose Run and enter D:\setup.exe, where D: is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive. If you are installing from a downloaded file, from the Start menu, choose Run, browse to the directory where you saved the downloaded installer file (the name is similar to VMwareWorkstation-<xxxx>.exe, where <xxxx> is a series of numbers representing the version and build numbers).
  3. The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next. 



  5. Acknowledge the end user license agreement (EULA). Select the I accept the terms in the license agreement option, then click Next. 



  7. Choose the directory in which to install VMware Workstation. To install it in a directory other than the default, click Change and browse to your directory of choice. If the directory does not exist, the installer creates it for you. Click Next. 
  8.  

  9.  
    Caution: Do not install VMware Workstation on a network drive.
    Note: Windows and the Microsoft Installer limit the length of a path to a folder to 255 characters for a path to a folder on a local drive and 240 characters for a path to a folder on a mapped or shared drive. If the path to the VMware Workstation program folder exceeds this limit, an error message appears. You must select or enter a shorter path.


  10. The installer has gathered the necessary information and is ready to begin installing the software. Click Install. The installer begins copying files to your host.

    If you want to change any settings or information you provided, now is the time to make those
    changes. Click Back until you reach the dialog box containing the information you want to change.

  11. If the installer detects that the CD-ROM autorun feature is enabled, you are prompted with the option to disable it. Disabling this feature prevents undesirable interactions with the virtual machines you install on this system.
  12. On a Windows NT host, you may see a Digital Signature Not Found dialog box when the installer begins to install the VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter. You can safely ignore this message. Click Yes to continue the installation.
  13. A dialog box appears, asking if you want to rename existing virtual disks using the new .vmdk extension. Click Search Disk to search all local drives on the host computer and make this change. 





  14. The converter also renames the files that store the state of a suspended virtual machine, if it finds them. It changes the old .std file extension to .vmss. However, it is best to resume and shut down all suspended virtual machines before you upgrade from VMware Workstation 2.0 to Workstation 3.2.
    Besides renaming files, the converter updates the corresponding virtual machine configuration files so they identify the virtual disks using the new filenames.

    Note: If you store your virtual disk files or suspended state files on a Windows XP or Windows .NET Server host - or if you may do so in the future - it is important to convert the filenames to avoid conflicts with the System Restore feature of Windows XP and Windows .NET Server.
     
    One chance to rename disk files - The Rename Virtual Disks dialog box appears only once. If you click Cancel, you will not have another opportunity to update the filenames and configuration files automatically.
  15. Click Finish. The VMware Workstation software is installed. 
  16. A prompt suggests that you reboot your PC. Reboot now to allow VMware Workstation to complete the installation correctly.
Uninstalling VMware Workstation 3.2 on a Windows Host To uninstall VMware Workstation 3.2, use the VMware Workstation uninstaller.

  1. Launch the uninstaller.
    Start > Programs > VMware > VMware Workstation Uninstallation
  2. Click Yes.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions. Near the end of the uninstallation process, you are asked if you want to remove your VMware Workstation licenses. If you click Yes, all licenses on the host computer are permanently removed.

    Note : Always Download VMware from official Site.
               For license registration key.Drop me mail.
