VM ware

I installed VM ware server on my Vista and cannot launch it. ALL the vm ware services are running. When I launch the VMWare , it does not connect and  has URL of https://hostname:8333/ui/

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/180729 does not work either

Thanks for your help

If I read your issue correctly, the server is pointing to https://hostname:8333/ui/.
Change the name to https://youractualcomputername:8333/ui/ or https://your.ip.address:8333/ui/

I am not certain if you meant hostname figuratively or actually.

Also, check your firewall settings.  Turn it off to verify if you want a quick test.

Thanks coolsport00 and hanccoca

You were right. I was installing it on a non server OS. I have Vista home edition as said on page 25 of the guide.

thanks again
