How to activate Unity mode in VMware Workstation? - vmware

I create a virtual machine, Linux Mint 18. But I can't activate the Unity mode.
My system is windows 7 64bit. My vmware version is 12 pro.

The following features have reached end of life in Workstation 12 Pro and have been removed:
Unity mode on Linux guest and host operating systems
Integrated Virtual Debugger Visual Studio
Connection to the VMware vCloud Air subscription service (The VMware vCloud Air OnDemand service is still fully supported)

Oracle Virtual Box not starting on Mac

Host: Mac OS Ventura
Guest: Oracle VirutalBox 6.1
After the recent OS upgrade to the Ventura on Mac, I am not able to start my virtual box. It used to work perfectly before the upgrade. I have tried other versions of virtual box, such as 7.0, but I am still getting the following error.
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks.
===================
The virtual machine 'Oracle Linux 9' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code:

Component:
MachineWrap
Interface:
IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
=======================
Mac OSX Ventura doesn't work with VirtualBox 6.X
download latest 6.X and unpack virtual box 6.X
run the uninstall virtual box tool (you need to approve in System > Privacy and Security > allow run the uninstall tool.
Now You need to download the last version VirtualBox 7.x
after download unpack it
run installer
you need to authorize Oracle kernel extensions System > Privacy and Security > allow Oracle Kernel Extension
Restart
Now Run VirtualBox from Application folder.
Probably you will need to recreate your network adapter in VirtualBox > File > Tools > Network manager

VMware Tool doesn't install

I have a virtual machine with Windows XP. And my host computer is on Windows 10. I'm using VMware version 14. I'm trying to setup a shared folder for my virtual machine and faced with an issue that Shared Folder doesn't appear on my VM. I've started investigate and found that VMware Tools are not installed on my VM. When I go Player -> Manage -> Install VMware Tools -> nothing happens. I don't see any pop-up windows with installation. It seems like virtual CD is inserted but nothing more. I can't see it in My Computer.
What did I miss?
Can you ping your XP VM from your Host Win 10 Machine?
If you couldn't ping your XP VM IP from your host machine, turn your firewall off on both machines and try to ping again.
Did you turn on your network discovery on your Windows 10 Machine and XP Machine?
If you can ping your VM from Host machine, turn on file and print sharing settings.

Windows Phone Emulator not running on Windows 8.1 on VirtualBox on Mac Book Pro

[
My configuration is:
Mac Book Pro running Virtual Box running Windows 8.1,
There I am getting error.
I have checked in Control Panel>>Programs and Features >> Hyper-V: all the components are checked.
Also, I have checked the services (run>> services.msc) all hyper-V services are running perfectly.
Tried with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, but no luck.
Any Help will be appreciated !
According to the suggestion given, I uninstalled Hyper-V and tried it again, I got this error "Hyper-V is not enabled"
Thanks !
Windows HyperV and Virtual Box are trying to do the same job and will conflict with each other. Since HyperV takes control on boot, you'll need to uninstall HyperV to use the emulator in Virtual Box.

Enable hyper-V on Windows 2012

I have a window7 (32 bit) machine. I installed Virtual Box and created a VM (Windows 2012 {64bit} with enabled VT-x/AMD-V,Nested Paging).
I want to enable Hyper-V on this VM any Idea?
I tried following links but not working for me:
Link1
Link2
but in my case I am using Virtual Box.
How can I enable Hyper-V feature?
Do you want to expose VT-x/AMD-V to the guest system in the VM so it can run Hyper-V inside VM? As far as I know, VirtualBox does not support it, but VMWare does, even in their free VMWare Player.
I have been running Windows Phone 8 emulator in VMWare Player without problems. Yes, it required manual editing of .vmx file, but is works reliably and without any problems at all.
If you decide to give VMWare Player a try, make sure you have VT-x/AMD-V available and enabled on your physical host computer. Then add the following setting to your VMWare machine:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
mce.enable = "TRUE"
and you should be able to start Hyper-V inside your VM.
For more information, see these links:

and some useful topics on VirtualBox forums which explain why the feature is not available on VirtualBox:

I really miss this feature on VirtualBox because I find VMWare Player to be bloated and it slows the host system down much more than VirtualBox does.

Can you install vmware server 2 on the Windows 8 preview?

Apologies if this has been asked already, searching the web reveals lots and lots of threads about installing the Win8 beta on VMware but not the other way around.
I am trying to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows 8 Preview machine. It appears to install correctly but I cannot then reach the web based homepage to configure virtual machines, i.e.
https://localhost:8333/ui/
gives the error that the "connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down or your network may not be properly configured".
Has anyone had any success running VMware Server 2.0.2 on Windows 8 Preview? If so were there any gotchas you needed to avoid?
I don't think it will ever be resolved. VMware Server was declared End Of Availability in January 2010; There will be no support for Windows 8.
Your best try would be trying launching the services in compatibility mode, but why would you do that? Why not use the much more advanced VMware Player or VMware Workstation products?
I've found a way to run it on Windows 8.
On my PC with a x64 version of Windows 8, when I installed VMware Server 2, I found there was a service called VMware Host Agent that cannot be run. When I opened the system Service Manager and clicked to launch this service, it gave me the error.
My solution is to create a service with the same command string and set it to start automatically by using the "sc create" command in cmd.exe. And it worked for me!
