It un-installed the 6.0.2 version first. This took about 5 or 10 minutes. It than installed the new.
When I first start the WS (WorkStation) it seem to hang for a long time but that could be the issue where is seems to take the portable forever to come up in Windows. Linux seems to be fine.
When I first started the first VM(virtual machine) under WS it gave me the following warning:
VMware Workstation has measured your CPU speed to be 1147 MHz, but Windows reports that it is 1596 MHz. This may mean that your computer has a power-saving feature that varies the processor speed. As a result, the clock in your virtual machine may run too fast or too slow.
For a workaround, please refer to the VMware knowledge base article at:
http://www.vmware.com/info?id=97
This article says that I need to set the correct speed in the config.ini file for VMWorkstation.
This file does not yet exist so I may have to edit the VMWS preferences to get it.
I also got the message when I started VMWS.
Your host does not have synchronized TSCs. Please read VMware Knowledge Base article 2041.
What is a TSC?
The Microsoft Windows XP product activation feature creates a key based on the virtual hardware in the virtual machine where it is installed. Changes in the virtual machine configuration may require you to reactivate the guest operating system. To minimize those changes, be sure to set the final memory size for the virtual machine and install VMware Tools before you activate Windows XP.
For more information about Windows XP product activation and virtual machines see our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/info?id=50".
Also need to upgrade the VMWare tools for the VPC.
This took a little time. I wonder how this will affect the VM working with WMWS 6.0.3?
