I've downloaded the OpenbravoEFP zip file for windows from sourceforge. After extracting the file I've found two files (i) openbravo-3-i386.vmx and (ii) openbravo-3-i386.vmdk.
How can I install the software with these files ? Have I downloaded wrong files. I want to run the software in windows XP.
Please help.
Openbravo supports VirtualBox appliance(.vmdk) and VMplayer appliance(.vmx)
Launch VMware appliance
Install and Run VM Player.
Click on File -> Open Virtual Machine and select the vmx file you
have uncompressed.
After boot you can login in the testing appliance
Click here for more information from openbravo wiki page
VDMK are image files for a virtual machine, like VMware. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMDK
So you could use that image to run it on a simulated computer instance on your host machine and try it out there.

I am trying to open ubuntu in vmware workstation 12. But there is a error
Could not open virtual machine:
C:\Users\MANDEEP-THAKUR\Documents\Virtual Machines\Ubuntu 15.10\Ubuntu 15.10.vmx
The virtual machine appears to be in use.
here is the screenshot
when i delete the .lck extension folder from the vmware workstation folder and again starts the vmware workstation then there are again some errors those errors are showing below.
VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine.
Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses,
and access all directories for temporary files.
Failed to connect pipe to virtual machine: All pipe instances are busy.
here is the screenshot of this error..
please suggest me what to do.
Thanks
press Ctrl alt del, it opens the start manager... locate VM in service and end all process.. then open your VMware it up will work :)
you not only need to delete the lock file but also the .vmem file, close the VMware workstation wouldn't release the lock on the vmem file, you need to restart your PC first
you simply need to close all the processes of vmware workstation from the taskbar.
when you ended all the processes of vmware workstation from taskmanager then you can easily run the ubuntu again in vmware workstation.
You need to close VMware Workstation, on VM's folder find and delete any .lck or .lock files, open again the VMware Workstation and start the VM.
This might solve your problem
open task manager
go to background processes
stop the vmware-hostd.ext process.
restart vmware and you are good to go.
I recently downloaded the debian installer iso to use with virtualbox. For security reasons, I mounted it to ensure it was legit. I noticed a file labeled setup.exe. Why would a linux installer be a windows file, and how would the computer be able to run it?
I then decided to look throught the microsoft windows installer. It too used an exe file. How could it run the exe to install windows without windows instlled?
The Debian project has an installer for Microsoft Windows that provides a UI for installing GNU/Linux beginning on a MS Windows platform.
The Windows kernel can be loaded from disk and once it is loaded, like on install, it can start running a .exe file. For similar reasons Linux is an elf format binary. This is how a "Live" disk works, it loads the kernel and then loads up the entire OS including window manager from disk.
To your first question :
I bet you are running VirtualBox on a Windows client right? So there is nothing wrong with using a windows file :)
When installing Linux on a virtualbox with a windows 7 64bit host
I get the following screen
All the tutorials I have watched on how to install Linux on a virtualbox always skip this screen
I am using a iso file but I do not see an option to enter the path of said iso file
do I need to copy the file to a cd? or am I missing a setting for the virtualbox?
The way VirtualBox (or virtualization in general) works, is that when on the host (the Windows PC running the VirtualBox) you mount the ISO file as a CD/DVD drive, it will be shown as CD/DVD on the client (your Linux installation). The client won't see the difference.
So in that sense you are doing it correctly. However, you have the "wrong" installation ISO. The file you have mounted is "Oracle Linux R6 Update 5 UEK Boot ISO x86_64 V41364-01.iso" (if I googled correctly). So the question in your first screenshot asking about the installation image is to my understanding asking for where the actual installation data can be found. This would be either a DVD, another harddrive, local repository in LAN, or from the Internet. In your case it would be easier to use an installation media, which already includes the installation files, which would be "Oracle Linux R6 Update 5 x86_64 V41362-01.iso" (again if I googled correctly).
So to sum up, either download the full installation image (around 4 GB), or use the one you have and point the "url" to an image from the Internet.
I need to install Ubuntu 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bit using Oracle VM Virtual Box.
I downloaded Ubuntu Desktop iso file, opened the settings of VM and selected the disk image of Ubuntu.
After this the following error message appears. How to solve this issue?
UPDATE: I tried both 34-bit and 64-bit Ubunto. Both fail.
Either your ISO is broken or you selected the wrong OS when creating the virtual machine. Try to redownload the file from the Ubuntu home page and mount it again.
You can follow the steps from here. Eventhough its for Ubuntu 14.04, the steps will not change.
I am attempting to install VMware Tools on VMware Workstation 7.1.6 on my Linux Redhat host machine. I have searched for a source to download but have been unsuccessful. Can anyone provide a link to where I can download VMware Tools for Linux Redhat OS?
I am trying to install VMware Tools so I can run a repair on a Windows 7 VM that has a corrupted Windows Boot File causing an error to be displayed when I attempt to power on the machine.
I am running VMware Workstation 7.1.6 x64 and the file I am attempting to repair with built in utility command on VMware Tools is Windows 7 x64. Please let me know if anyone has experienced a similar issue and if the VMware Tools utility command works to repair/restore corrupted or missing Windows Boot files.
vmware tools came up with workstation only, you can right click on VM menu, you can install,
Generally it will not automatically install the tools, it will mount an iso like cd rom to the vm,
you need to mount it and extract the tar file, then run the vmware-tools-install.pl file
