I recently setup VMware workstation on a machine. It's used to access it from a remote location.
view http://www-new.experts-exc
I'm having trouble making the VM a service. I want to start with or without logon of the pc, and to start a profile. I also want the program to be minized to the sytem tray (notificaion area) instead of the taskbar.
The reason is, becaue it will always be on, and if for some reason it's shutdown, i want it to restart automatically. Plus i don;t want it to be on the taskbar annoying the crap out of me.
Can Someone help???
Thank You So much

Haven't tried tthe service software "exe to service" yet.
I was trying instsrv, but the issue with that is that when the service gets loaded and it runs the VMWare software i have no way to access it as it runs in the background. Not good for me. If anybody has a fix for that, please help me.
Thank You. I will try this app as well, but something about it doesn't give me good vibes.
THANKS
i knew something was fishy about this 'exe to service' software
I set it up to run the VMWare workstation. It ran gave me an error, and now i'm not able to load my workstation. I'm getting :
Could not open virtual machine: C:\My Virtual Machines\Ocean Plaza Rezovation\Windows XP Professional.vmx. File "C:\My Virtual Machines\Ocean Plaza Rezovation\Windows XP Professional.vmx" line 1: Syntax error.
It just won't open it even the usual way. Main lesson is go with your gut. Sure hope i don't have to recreate this. It's good i followed the cardinal rule, you know the one techies and it know but don't use themselve, made a backup image of the workstation.
Any insight on this error would be good because i did make changes since the backup image.
Thanks to anybody who can help.
You can use VMware Server ( http://www.vmware.com/prod
VMware Server is free to use though there are a few features workstation has that server doesn't.
As for your Virtual Machine not working the vmx file is just a text based config file listing the virtual machine setup.
I don't think it should be too hard to either fix the file or recreate the vmx file using the same virtual hard drives and settings.
