vmware on Hyper-v [duplicate]

  • 772

I'm wondering if it will be possible to install vmware server on a hyper-v image?

Currently I get an error when trying to install.

Setup cannot continue becuase microsofts hyper-v is being used. Please disable it, reboot and start the VMWare Server installation again.

  2. You can try doing it using this workaround. I've never tried it myself.

  3. Newer versions of VMware Workstation and Server check wether Hyper-V is enabled on the computer you're installing on. Simply remove the Hyper-V feature before installing VMware. The reason they do this is that only one hypervisor is allowed "at a time" (which is not a Microsoft or VMware problem, it's just the way the arcitecture is).
