Notes on VMware Workstation 6.0, Build 42757
Build 42757 is a release candidate build of VMware Workstation 6.0.

The release notes contain the following:

New Support for 32-Bit and 64-Bit Operating Systems
New Features in This Release
Known Issues with This Release

New Support for 32-Bit and 64-Bit Operating Systems
This release provides experimental support for the following operating systems now in Beta:



32-bit and 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 (Beta, formerly called 4.0 Update 5) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 as host and guest operating systems
32-bit and 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP4 (Beta) as host and guest operating systems
32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (Beta) as a guest operating system

This release provides full support for the following operating systems:

32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista as host and guest operating systems
32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 6.10 as host and guest operating systems
32-bit and 64-bit Mandriva Linux 2007 as host and guest operating systems
32-bit and 64-bit Solaris 10 Update 3 as guest operating system
32-bit Novell Netware 6.5 SP5 as guest operating system

New Features in This Release


Record/Replay of Virtual Machine Activity (Experimental) — This feature lets you record all of a Workstation 6 virtual machine’s activity over a period of time. Unlike Workstation’s movie-capture feature, the record/replay feature lets you exactly duplicate the operations and state of the virtual machine throughout the time of the recording.
Multiple Monitor Support — At the click of a button, the guest can now span monitors and also reflect the monitor topology — meaning that applications, task bars, and so on inside the guest appear as you would expect them to on a multi-monitor system. You can specify how many monitors a virtual machine can detect, regardless of how many monitors are attached to the host. This feature is especially useful if you plan to deploy the virtual machine to a different host after you create it. You can also specify what screen resolution to use and how much video memory to allocate.
Support for High-Speed USB 2.0 Devices
Easy Upgrade or Downgrade of VMware Virtual Machines — A new Convert Hardware Version wizard steps you through the process of upgrading or downgrading virtual machines between Workstation versions 4, 5, and 6. The wizard helps you determine which virtual hardware version to use for various VMware products. You have the choice of either changing the version of the original virtual machine or creating a full clone.
Automation Via Expanded VIX 1.1 API — The VIX API (formerly known as the Programming API) is now compatible with Workstation 6. This API allows you to write scripts and programs to automate virtual machine operations. This release of the API is available in the C language. There are additional language bindings for Perl, COM, and shell scripts (vmrun). There is also a standalone installer for this API.
Enhanced Import Functionality (Windows Hosts Only) — Included in this release is the Importer wizard from the VMware Converter product. Using the Importer wizard enables you to convert a virtual machine from one VMware virtual machine format to another, and convert virtual machines or system images from popular third-party vendors.
Automatic Update to the Latest Version of VMware Tools — You can now set VMware Tools to automatically upgrade itself when the virtual machine is powered on.
Integrated Virtual Debuggers — With the new Workstation IDE (integrated development environment) plug-ins, software developers are provided with menu items and toolbar buttons in Visual Studio (Windows only) or Eclipse (Windows or Linux) to easily develop and debug programs in virtual machines.
Appliance View for Virtual Appliances — Rather than having users see a console view for an appliance, you can now configure the new appliance view. It gives you a brief description of the type of server or appliance and provides a link that opens the browser on the guest system and connects to the correct port for the server console.
Run Virtual Machines in the Background — You can now leave virtual machines and teams running in the background when you exit Workstation. On the host, a system tray icon indicates how many virtual machines are running in the background. Click the icon to open a virtual machine.
Enhanced File Sharing and Copy and Paste Functionality — You can now use shared folders on a Solaris guest. You can copy and paste text and files between Linux and Windows hosts and Linux, Windows, and Solaris guests.
Cross-Platform Drag-and-Drop Functionality — You can now drag and drop files and directories from a Linux or Windows host to a Linux, Solaris, or Windows guest, and vice versa.
Virtual Machines Can Act as VNC Servers — You can set a virtual machine to act as a VNC server without having to install any specialized VNC software in the guest.
New Online Help System — The help system includes full-text search, bookmarking ability, index, and table of contents.
Battery Information Is Now Reported in the Guest — If you use a laptop to run a guest in full screen mode, you will now be able to see status information about the host´s battery.
Increased RAM Support — The previous limit of 4GB total RAM that could be used for all virtual machines combined has been removed. The amount of memory used by all virtual machines combined is now limited only by the amount of the host computer’s RAM and page file size. The maximum amount of memory that can be allocated per virtual machine has been raised from 3.6GB to 8GB.
Support for Paravirtualized Linux Kernels — If you have a VMware VMI (Virtual Machine Interface) 3.0 enabled kernel in a Linux guest operating system, you can now enable paravirtual support in the virtual machine.
User Interface for Mapping a Virtual Disk to a Drive Letter on the Windows Host
Improved 64-bit Guest Support — Intel EM64T VT-capable processors are now fully supported.
New 64-bit Sound Driver
CrossTalk Communication Infrastructure (Experimental) — CrossTalk provides a faster means of communication among applications running on the host and in virtual machines. The CrossTalk infrastructure comprises a CrossTalk SDK and CrossTalk drivers for host and guest. This experimental feature is especially suited for users who want to write client-server applications. For more information, see the README file. On Linux hosts, the README file is located in the directory /usr/share/doc/vmware/vmware-crosstalk/samples. On Windows hosts, it is in the CrossTalk folder in VMware Workstation installation directory; for example, C:Program FilesVMwareVMware WorkstationCrossTalk.
Enhanced virtual keyboard on Windows hosts — Now when you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the Windows guest system only, rather than both guest and host, will act on the command. The new virtual keyboard provides better handling of international keyboards and keyboards with extra keys. This feature also offers security improvements, as it processes raw keyboard input as soon as possible, bypassing Windows keystroke processing and any malware that’s not already at a lower layer. This feature is currently available for all 32-bit Windows guests except Windows Vista guests.
VMware Player 2.0 — The new Player Welcome page gives you the option of browsing to a virtual machine file or downloading a virtual appliance from the Virtual Appliance Marketplace at vam.vmware.com. You can then use Player’s new appliance view when running a virtual appliance. A beta version of VMware Player 2.0 can now be downloaded and installed separately from Workstation. For more information about the standalone VMware Player, see the VMware Player 2.0 Beta Release Notes.
Known Issues with This Release
Core Application
Eclipse Integrated Virtual Debugger
Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger
Core Application



On Windows Vista hosts, mapping a virtual disk can sometimes cause Workstation to exit unexpectedly.


If your default browser is Internet Explorer 7, clicking the Help button in a Workstation dialog box opens the first page of the Help, not the appropriate topic. You can open the appropriate topic using the the Help Index, Search, or Contents. This problem does not occur in other versions of Internet Explorer or other browsers.


On Windows Vista hosts, if you want a virtual machine to use the enhanced virtual keyboard, you need to run Workstation (or Player) as an administrator.


On Windows Vista hosts, if you start Workstation without administrative privileges, power on a virtual machine, exit Workstation with the virtual machine running in the background, and then start Workstation with administrative privileges, you cannot access the virtual machine.
Workaround: Either always run Workstation with administrative privileges or always without.


On 32-bit Windows Vista guests and Windows 2003 Server guests, if an Internet connection is not available at the time when the operating system is installed, the multimedia audio controller is not installed.
Workaround: If the Windows device manager lists an unsupported multimedia audio controller, configure networking and run Windows Update to install the required driver.


On 64-bit Windows Vista hosts, because of the unsigned-driver prompts, you need to be present when installing Workstation. If you don´t respond to the prompts within a short time period Windows Vista continues with the installation, but the unsigned drivers are not installed, and the resulting installation might be unusable.


When you install Workstation on a Windows Vista host, be sure to enter the serial number at installation time. This is necessary so that when you enter the serial number, you will have the required permission settings. If you enter the serial number later, as a different user, you might not have the correct permissions.


On Windows Vista hosts, you need to run the Virtual Network Editor as an Administrator. You need to be logged in as a member of the Administrators group and either disable UAC (user account control) or start the Virtual Network Editor by right-clicking it in the Start menu and choosing Run as Administrator.


Pressing the middle button on a Thinkpad T43 causes the cursor to be released from guest operating systems. The middle button of the three buttons above the track pad is usually configured to allow scrolling. In guest operating systems, it does not allow scrolling and in fact causes input to be ungrabbed from the guest.


Automatic upgrade of VMware Tools does not work if the older version of VMware Tools is from a VMware Server 1.x build or a Workstation 6 beta build. Automatic upgrade works only for versions of VMware Tools that were installed with a released build of Workstation 5.5 or higher.


If you record virtual machine activity while VMware Tools is performing an automatic upgrade, the virtual machine might crash.
Workaround: If you plan to use the record/replay feature, make sure that you do not set the virtual machine to automatically upgrade VMware Tools.


Sometimes when the virtual floppy drive is connected to the physical floppy drive on the host, the guest does not recognize floppy disk changes. This has been observed on both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows.
Workaround: Connect the virtual floppy drive to the physical floppy drive while a floppy disk is in the physical drive.


On hosts that use a Windows 2000 Professional SP4 operating system, occasionally, you won´t be able to use File > Import to create a virtual machine from a physical machine. The following error message appears: Unable to determine guest operating system. This error occurs when the msdos.sys file is either not present or not accessible.


On hosts that use various Windows Server editions (such as Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 Server), you might not be able to use File > Import. The following error message appears in the host´s Event Viewer: Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the VMware Agent Service service to connect.
Workaround: Start the VMware Agent Service manually, either by uisng the Services administrative tool or by logging in as an administrator and using the command-line command: net start ufad-ws60.


(Windows only) If you map a drive to a virtual machine and then take a snapshot of the virtual machine, you can´t power on the virtual machine. Avoid taking snapshots or powering on a virtual machine while one or more of its drives are mapped to the host.


For virtual machines that are members of a team, the full screen setting called "Stretch guest" does not work. This setting is available from the preferences editor (Edit > Preferences > Display tab). The purpose of this setting is to retain the guest’s resolution settings but still have the display fill the screen.


If you attempt to power on a virtual machine immediately after removing it from a team, Workstation might exit unexpectedly.
Workaround: After you remove the virtual machine from the team, exit Workstation, restart Workstation, and power on the virtual machine.


For the multiple-monitor feature, using the Windows display properties settings to change the arrangement of monitors does not work if you position a monitor so that it uses a negative coordinate. For example, when you use the Windows Control Panel display settings to drag the monitor icons, if a coordinate shown while dragging the icon is a negative number, the arrangement will not work.


On Mandrake 10.0 guests, dragging and dropping files from guest to host does not work.


If you share a folder between a Linux host and a Windows guest, symbolic links will not be accessible by the Windows guest. Symbolic links appear as regular files on Windows guests, but the links are not followed when you attempt to open them.


On a 64-bit Ubuntu 6.04 host and a Windows guest, you might not be able to see a shared folder on the guest.
Workaround: On the guest, use the Add/Remove Programs item to remove VMware Tools and then install VMware Tools again.


When upgrading using RPM on a Linux host, the upgrade to a beta version of Workstation might fail. This issue is due to the version number, which includes "e.x.p." (meaning experimental). RPM sees a version number with "e.x.p." as being an earlier version than the currently installed released version.
Workaround: Install the beta version of Workstation by using the "rpm -Uhv --oldpackage" option.



Eclipse Integrated Virtual Debugger


If you are not running the current version of VMware Tools on the guest system, when the Eclipse Integrated Virtual Debugger attempts to debug in a virtual machine, the message One of the parameters was invalid may appear in the Eclipse error log.
Workaround: Upgrade VMware Tools to the current version on your guest systems.


On Linux hosts, you must install VIX and accept the EULA when you install Workstation to run the Eclipse Integrated Virtual Debugger. If you do not accept the EULA, VIX is not installed, and launching the Eclipse Integrated Virtual Debugger will generate the error Internal error occurred during: Launching.



Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger


The Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger is supported for only the following Windows Vista guest systems: Vista Business, Vista Enterprise, and Vista Ultimate guest systems. The Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger User´s Manual contains additional host and guest system requirements.


You may see the error Project type is not supported if a project is running in more than one instance of the Visual Studio.


Deselecting Start in Tools > Add-In Manager does not prevent the Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger Add-in from loading.
Workaround: To permanently uninstall the Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger, run the Workstation installation program, select Modify on the Program Maintenance page, deselect Visual Studio PlugIn on the Custom Setup page, and continue through the installation wizard.


Visual Studio 2005 allows multiple projects to be debugged simultaneously when Start is chosen. However, the Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger currently supports only one project and one configuration for debugging at any given time. If you select multiple projects as debugging targets, the Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger only chooses the first one on the list.
