Windows 7 beta in VMware Workstation 14 January 2009
Posted by it2tp in Virtualization, Windows, Windows 7.1 comment so far
I was wondering if it would be possible to run Windows 7 (beta) in VMware Workstation, so I did the test. VMware Workstation version 6.5.1 was installed. There is no options for Windows 7 as operating system, so I selected Windows Vista as OS, and installed Windows 7 (32bit version). I found out that it was not a problem to install and work with Windows 7 as guest OS in VMware Workstation.
VMware Workstation message: This CPU is VT-capable, but VT is not enabled 24 September 2008

On a HP Compaq 6710b with Vista 64 bit installed and VMware Workstation 6.0.5, when launching the installation of Windows Server 2008 x64 (as Guest OS), the following message was displayed:
This CPU is VT-capable, but VT is not evabled (check your BIOS/firmware settings). You have configured this virtual machine to use a 64-bit guest operation system. However, this host’s CPU is not capable of running 64-bit virtual machines or this virtual machine has 64-bit support disabled.
For more detailed information, see http://www.vmware.com/info?id=152
Pretty straightforward how to solve this one, given the information above: enter the BIOS settings –>
System Configuration > Device Configuration > Virtualization Technology > Enable.
After booting the same message appeared. After another reboot, the message did not appear anymore.
