Vmware For .Exe Files
 

Hi
can any pls tell me which vmware software i need to install for MDK 10 in order to run the windows exe files. Thanks It would be great if i get a direct link to the software Page.

i don't think you really understand what vmware is. vmware is a virtual machine. it does not emulate windows, it emulates a physical computer, which you can use just like your own physical one, by installing whatever operating system you want on it. maybe you want to look at Cedega / Wine ??

Thanks for info i really knew it not anyway am using wine but some softwares aint opening with wine so i thought of using vmware.so if i install vmware on my MDk with winxp os so does all my winxp applications work here?

like i said, it is a virtual machine, anything that would work on a real machine chould work fine on a virtual machine, save for hardware dependent applications, e.g. games requiring hardware based graphics processing mechanisms.

Thanks for info acid

Okay I downloaded Vmware workstation and its working fine for me, now what i want to know is that i have a proggie called Keytext[this is windows software] which is a scroller and i want to run this program in linux MDK i started this programm in vmware virtual system i.e winxp now i want to copy n paste things from MDK to the scroller n then paste em back in Mdk how do I it?


If u feel i need to explain it agian just ask i will do it.
Thanks

vmware copies your clipboard back and forth i think, so just do the normal actions in both operating systems.

ahh thanks again acid one more thing what if i want to run limewire accelerator in linux which does not open in wine so i exceute it in VMware and am using limewire linux version so does that accelerator works for limewire?

i've no idea what that is but i'd assume not, as the vm is a seperate network device.

okay thanks bud however i got what ya saying..

hey i got a lil problem with VMware when am using the virtual OS im not able to use internet in it it says 'IP conflict' how to get rigid of it. does using a ip like 192.168.55.03 in real os n 192.168.55.04 in virtual os will work out?

if your vmware setup is using bridged networking, not natted networking, then as long as the vm has a unique ip in the same subnet as the rest of the network, you should be fine. if you have an error as blatant as an address conflict then i would believe it.

Vm is using bridge networking
