admin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:35:57 +0000

Was trying to install InfoPath 2007 and was given the error The key is incorrect. This was due to my using the wrong type of key. The media I was using came from a MSDN account, the password I was using came from a basic-entry-level Technet account.

Once I entered the MSDN key the install worked.

VMware Player VMwareDnD

Dear VMware,

Please fix the copy/paste function in your VMware Player. Every time I copy a file from the client to the host, Player will make ANOTHER copy of the file. This is nice when you are trying to figure out why your host is running out of drive space.

What I have done is create a small batch file that will truncate the VMwareDnD folder on Startup.

1. Create a batch file.

2. In that batch file you will want to provide the path to your VMwareDnD folder.

@echo off

del C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER WHATEVER HERE\AppData\Local\Temp\VMwareDnD\”.” /Q /s >nul

3. Save the file and copy or cut and paste it to here

C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER WHATEVER HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

how to expand a VMware disk vmware-vdiskmanager.exe

Ian Hayse — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:25:06 +0000

if you are running VMware and need to expand the virtual disk size, here is the simply way to do it.

in windows Start – - > Run – -> CMD

cd C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 30Gb “C:\path where your virtual disk is stored\name of your virtual disk.vmdk”

lets break this down.

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x (how large you want the disk to be)Gb “where the virtual disk is located, dont point this to the -flat file”

example (this is exactly what i put in the DOS prompt, including the quotation marks ” ” )

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 99Gb “C:\VMstuff\myDisk.vmdk”

after messing with this for way too long I found a REAL easy answer to the question.

downloaded and installed this tool http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm

Download the ISO CD image to a folder on your computer.
Insert a blank CD in your CD-RW drive
Locate the ISO file, right-click the file name, and then click Copy image to CD to open the ISO Recorder Wizard.
Follow the steps in the wizard to write the image to the CD.

That is it… too easy!
