Is there a way to let the VM see the devices on the 169.254.200.* subnet through the NAT adapter? The host PC can see them fine and so can the VM through a bridged adapter. The risk to production is too great to experiment. Ideally, we would just move the machines from the APIPA range to the 192.168.0.* range, but the machine builder is unwilling to assist and can't provide us with a list of devices within each machine that would be affected. That's a lot of IP addresses to allocate in each subnet, and we don't have enough free for that. If we only had a few VMs, we could work around that, but we have 6 total host computers, each with 3-5 VMs. Instead, we have to use a Bridged adapter. The ones in the 169.254.200.* subnet, however, won't route through the NAT adapter. For those machines, we can use the NAT adapter in the VM and connect with no difficulty. Most of our machines have addresses in either the 192.168.0.* subnet or the 10.130.249.* subnet. We have some machines that came into the facility with static IP addresses in the 169.254.200.* subnet, which is used by Windows to assign itself an address after DHCP fails.

We use virtual machines to run our automation software that we use to support production machinery. It doesn't create a vmware.log file, if I move the log files elsewhere. These are the contents of the lock files from 2 different vm's. It is just if I touch/click a vm, then Player cannot close except by task manager. VmWare Player, and then quit, that works. It will say "The Virtual Machine is busy". Once I touch/click one of them, Player will put a lockįile in the vm's directory.Once it does, I cannot close the vm. It doesn't matter which one I touch with the mouse. I am using VMware-player-3.1.5-491717 on Windows XP host. So now I have a gateway device and a router. Is anybody else seeing it and any clues as to how it can be dealt with?

It started occurring in the first build of 1903 when I was running Workstation 15 and after a number of Windows 10 updates and updating Workstation to 15.5, I am still seeing it.Īs far as I can make out, SYSTEM is not permitted access to the relevant file. In the Event Viewer/Error section I am seeing on a regular basis the following Perflib error:-Īccess to performance data was denied to user "SYSTEM" (value from GetUserName() for the running thread) as attempted from module "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\vmware-authd.exe" (value from GetModuleFileName() for the binary that issued the query).Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\vmware-authd.exe Is there a way to boot "repair" the VM or maybe boot Windows in safe mode through the VM, or any other solution to the problem? Now I'm stuck with this VM I can't apparently use anywhere. However, no matter how many temp files I deleted, I get the same error. VM files on disk are locked and I need to reboot the host to get access to them. VmWare Player is responsive but it's not able to close, I need to kill the process. Usually i would have resized the screen to 320x240 (I think) and shown the VmWare logo, but it doesn't even get there. VM starts, black screen with the popup "to direct input to this VM" etc etc. I start up VmWare Player, select the VM, hit play Here's what happens if I try to run the VM: The problem is that if I put any program in the VM to fullscreen, the VM then refuses to restart once shutdown.

I have a problem with a Windows 7 圆4 VM run on VmWare Player 14.Īt first I thought it was due to a new system with a Ryzen CPU, but then I was unwillingly able to recreate the problem on a system where the same VM always worked.
