Virtual Machine VPC and Vmware

In the past few days, we need a clean operating system to test why demoshell is in. net Framework 3.0 running why is it abnormal, and test whether encoder can set the time to run in the disconnected clean system to avoid expiration issues. Installing a virtual machine may be the best way.

 

A VMware instance was installed last Friday. Some people on the Internet said it had better performance, so they tried it. After installation, it is equivalent to a bare metal and requires a boot disk to install the operating system. I installed a Windows 2003 Server with a virtual optical drive. To save disk space, I set the maximum disk space of the virtual machine to 2 GB at the beginning, later, it was found that the installation failed due to insufficient space when 2003sp1 was installed. To solve this problem, try the following methods:

1. Use vmware-vdiskmanager.exe to expand the disk size. If there is a space in the file name, it can be enclosed by double quotation marks (""), and it cannot be enclosed by single quotation marks ('').

2. Try to use servermagic to resize the C drive, but failed.

 

 

Today, I tried Virtual PC (Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1), which is easy to use and encountered several problems:

 

1. After installing the VPC tool, you can move the mouse between the host and the virtual machine, and drag the file between the host and the virtual machine;

 

2. after Windows 2003 Server is installed, there is no sound card device by default. In the Device Manager, "sound blster 16" does not have a driver. After searching online, you can use the sound card device after updating the sound card driver,: http://download.csdn.net/source/570204.

 

3. to install encoder, you need to set the system time to the previous time. However, due to the "time synchronization" mechanism, the VM will synchronize the host time, so the system time change is invalid. Therefore, you can:

First, find the virtual machine's VMC configuration file and open it with notepad.
Next, find the following fields:
<Integration>
<Microsoft>
<Mouse>
<Allow type = "Boolean"> true </allow>
</Mouse>

Add the following fields to the preceding fields:
<Components>
<Host_time_sync>
<Enabled type = "Boolean"> false </enabled>
</Host_time_sync>
</Components>
