i'm a developer working with another developer geographically somewhere else, and we have to build software for mac osx 10.4 and windows xp sp2 and later. right now we each have our own laptops which do not have identical software installations on them, and we have a bunch of other nonrelated software installed.
does there exist some kind of build environment service in the cloud that lets you instantly create a win xp sp2 + mac osx 10.4 virtual machine with developer tools preinstalled that we could use as a "build server" somehow?
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vmimport/
We uploaded our build environments - works great.

I need to rent/buy a server service in which I can run windows 7 with the following purpose: to install 4 programs. I need to work with them regularly but I cant install these programs from my PC, I have to be on the cloud server.
So my question, because the FAQ of each services do not state it clearly, if I rent workspace with windows 7 can I install any program I want? Can I do this as installation is done on a regular PC with windows 7 ??
I already tested the 4 programs I need to use on my windows 7 machine locally and they work perfectly. I only need to be sure they can work in Amazon web service as well.
Thanks in advance.
AWS Workspaces does not actually run Windows 7, it runs Windows Server 2008 R2, with a Windows 7 theme. (see "What Operating System does a WorkSpace run?")
Due to Windows client licensing restrictions it is not possible to run an MS client OS in a cloud environment.
While Windows Server 2008 R2 should run anything that Win7 can, there are a few apps that don't allow themselves to be run on a server OS.
you can install softwares on your workspace, you are admin by default. But Workspace pricing is a monthly cost, so if you need only few usage of this machine you may want to consider using a windows ec2 instance instead
I built an app in Monaca, and have successfully deployed and published it on google play and the App Store. I know I have to sign it with visual studio to publish it in the windows store, but can manually install it using powershell for development purposes. However, even though it works on android and ios, it crashes immediately after launching in Windows 10. I read over the documentation, and my question is: Is it even compatible? Everything in the documentation is either outdated or stictly for windows 8.
Yes they are compatible. I finally installed and ran it successfully.
I have an issue where my Samsung Smart TV emulator v 5.1 no longer connects to the network and as such I can't test apps whether launching from Eclipse or Standalone
I am running it on OS X Mavericks and have tried both the latest versions of VirtualBox (4.3) and the Samsung compatibility version. (4.2.1.6)
What I found was the issue is don't let VirtualBox generate a new MAC address, once that is happened the network will never connect and there doesn't appear to be a way to get into the VM and fix as you would on a linux.
Fix is to delete your OVA/VMDK and install a new one downloaded from the Samsung site.
I installed Mountain Lion and then I tried to run and then got this error:
The virtual machine cannot enter Unity mode because:
- The guest operating system does not have VMware Tools installed.
- The guest operating system's resolution cannot be changed.
Then I try to update tools:
Could not find component on update server.
Contact VMware Support or your system administrator.
Arkadi's answer is right, here are the detailed actions:
(See also this post for more snapshots)
Download darwin.iso.
Right click your virtual machine in vmware
Click the settings menu item
Select CD/DVD item in the left UI
On the right UI, select and mount the darwin.iso.
Now, the vmware tools installation is started in your Mac OSX virtual machine:
You can download VMWare Tools and graphic driver from here:
VMware_Tools
Graphic Driver - VMsvga2
The links supplied in Boris M answer points to software that is outdated and opens ad-ware sites in browser after install.
Here are the official darwin.iso (9MB) and darwin.iso.sig files from VMware Fusion 6.0.4 for Mac. Put it into vmware/isoimages/ folder next to other ISO files.
Unfortunately, VM > Install VMware Tools menu entry still won't work, so attach the ISO manually and install the package.
What are the differences between installing an Open Source package that I found called WampServer versus installing each component separately (Apache, PHP, MySQL)?
I will be installing this on a Windows 7 laptop which is for development purposes. The production machine is Linux although I've never had problems in the past just picking up my php code from a Windows machine and putting it on a linux machine.
Thanks ahead of time for the replies.
Wamp is for quick setup of a developement enviroment. Wamp is also configured on a low security level. If you have an other production system, there is no need to install all the components separately.
