VMWare not installing
 

i have downloaded VMWare 64bit bundle to install on my Ubuntu machine. how ever its not installing.

This is the command I tried: chmod +x VMWare-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386.bundle

and i was then going to type this command: ./VMWare-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386.bundle.

if there is another way or if im doing something wrong please help me.

you were going to type that command? what stopped you? you know you've not actually said anything about it not working...

I take it you paid for the download from VMware and got full instructions on using it? Not a torrent..?

i downloaded the evaluation edition.

chmod +x VMWare-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386.bundle didnt work but ive found out why.
i was in the wrong directory. iv now got that to work but now when i type ./VMWare-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386.bundle i am told: No such file or directory

hmm, yeah sorry about that.

right, so you're in the wrong directory. download's often go to the Desktop directory by default so you may need to cd to Desktop first.

iv manage to install it but now my issue is installing windows XP on. how do i go about it?

you really need to read some docs. I'm sure there's a wizard that takes you through creating your own VM's and then you just boot to the windows CD within the VM and proceed like any other normal installation

thanks guys for your patience. ive managed to sort it out.

is there any other way of getting hold of the activation code from VMware? i requested the code for the 30 day trial version and was told id receive an e-mail with it.....ive got nothing. how can i get it?

ask again and make sure you give a valid email address. Personally unless you genuinely do want to explore the Workstation product itself, you're much better off with the free player or server products.
