![]() I'm using VMWare Player under both Ubuntu Linux 5.04 Hoary Hedgehog and Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Breezy Badger. Luckily you can create them on your own without too much hassle. They offer some premade disk images for use with the Player and Server technology, but they do not offer software to create new virtual machines or images. VMWare recently introduced their VMWare Player and VMWare Server products for Windows and Linux. An awesome site, I'd say.VMWare Player Image Creation Introduction Background And thank Microsoft Collection Book for the links. When it gets to the caution icon, it'll allow you to resize the VM screen.Īnd you have a near-perfect Longhorn build! This build's version of IE has a download manager that doesn't work (on me) so download Firefox or Opera (Opera is recommended) on the host and drag it to the VM (it will work.) Change the compatibility mode of Opera's installer to Windows XP and you have a perfect browser, too. VMware Tools in the 4074 VM will show a "No sign" in front of its icon, then will show a caution icon. At first you'll get an error telling you to upgrade VMware Tools, ignore it. VMware Tools will take a while, but not too long, to prepare itself and, well, work. Again, shouldn't boot you off the desktop and to the login screen. When it's finally installed, make another snapshot, then restart. It may take a while because Longhorn is slow at first. Get VMware Tools for Workstation 6 (Workstation 8 drivers will not work) and install as normal. Very important if you want to go back in time to when you patched it. When you've patched it, restart, change your BIOS date to today and boot. I have a patched Winlogon.exe for said build (by a BA member, unsure who it is) and a file replacer bundled in one ISO if you want it, just ask because I don't think BA will let me post it publicly regarding cracks. When you've booted into Longhorn, you'll need to get rid of that timebomb (to show correct date). Make sure your BIOS date isn't sneakily changed by VMware Workstation. Windows XP has the same problem except you can fix it quite easily by slipstreaming SATA drivers.ĭo the installation and boot into Longhorn. I did this mistake on a physical machine. VMware defaults to SCSI under Vista and 7 AFAIK, but anything before that defaults to IDE. Disable BIOS date sync because we'll be installing VMware tools, too, but to boot into Longhorn we must change the BIOS date.Īs CaptainPeanut said, don't use SCSI for the virtual hard drive connection. Make a new VM, call it what you want, set the OS to Windows XP Professional. I'm posting this under Longhorn 4074 inside VMware Workstation 8 (VMware Player's equivalent will do too as VMware Player is pretty much the same without advanced features like Snapshots.) ![]()
