HiYa!

Before I install Vista on a pc I want to test using VMWare, has anyone has success with this? I just started to run the install but I can't go on pass "Select the driver to be installed". What drivers are they talking about?

Found this on Google, first link:

Isn't there a licensing restriction on installing Vista like this?

Well if I can get pass this screen I may be able to find out, but in either case I can run for 30days before setting up license. cluberti I checked that site but haven't found anything yet.

I was able to get around this today by adding 2 CD rom drives to my image - the first pointing to my actual CD drive, and the second to the Vista .iso. Give that a try.

cluberti, you are correct a colleague of mine pointed that out. All I need it was a cd driver and all is peachy.

i has vista running on vmware for abouta month!
it was great gave me a chance to test it out etc, i remeber that screen i cant remeber how i got around it,
i know i mounted the cd as an image and installed vista that way,

Runs Great on VMware!

Since they updated in v5.5.3 the virtual bios to properly support vista, it works like a breeze

Downloading v5.5.3 right now... thanks.

so i take it that 3dflip wont' work on vista via vmware?

I had Vista running on VMware ages ago. Was fun.

Anything that requires hardware video acceleration will not work.

To include 3dflip, aero glass, etc.

Thanks. Albuquerque
