I am unable to get this to work using Windows 7 X64 and vmware workstation 7. I can edit the 00.vmnix file to a lower memory amount but I continue to get the memory error. It will only boot if I assign the ESX VM 2 GB and nothing less.

After it boots I go back to check the 00.vmnix file and it is what I set it to previously so that setting is working but in vmware workstation 7 my ESX VM must have 2 GB or the memory message appears.

HELP

Hi All, your solution does not work for the GA Release ;-(
Is there already a workaround for the GA version available ?

I’m using it on a Dell D620, 7200RPM HDD, 4GB ram and an intel core 2 CPU @2GHz and it works ok for me – just make sure you use something that has (or can support) Intel VT or the AMD equivalent.

Works ok for me.

Yes, still in beta – but the final version is available from 21st May I believe the beta was private, accessible via application through your VMware account manager

I wonder where to get the vSphere 4. It’s still in BETA right? But not public…
