Default VMware Server on Longhorn (Vista and co.) - how to? (unsigned driver)


VMware Server on Longhorn - how to?

I installed VMware server version 1.0.3 on Longhorn Beta 3 but I can not
start, bacause VMAuthdService (VMware Authorization Service) is depents
on VMware vmx86.

Someone said that vmx86 is a device driver. And Vista and co. are not
lucky if the user tries to install the unsigned driver.

Is it any workaround to install unsigned driver on Longhorn?

it it a royal pain but during the initial boot hit the F8 key to get the boot menu and select the option (2nd from bottom believe\) to allow unsigned drivers.

needs to be done on every boot.

might query VM for a proper driver.
