Does anybody successfully install VMWare server on XPe?

[Nikolai Vorontsov]

Hello all,

I googled many articles about running XPe under VMWare, but I need
actually upside down - start VMWare under the XPe.

I have full blown XPe image that runs perfectly. I tried to install
VMWare Server 1.0.1 (latest) on that machine. The server installed
correctly, albeit it couldn't find network bridging components and I had
to point it to a right directory. The web-interface was also not installed.

At this stage I've entered a License key and manage to create and start
Virtual machine. All works quite OK.

After XPe restart the VMWare refuses to work. It gives warning in the
Event Log with ID: 100 and with Source: vmauthd, like this:
The description can not be found... blah-blah-blah,
Process creation failed with error 2
..

The VMWare Server Console takes 1-2 minutes to connect to the local host
and it doesn't see any created Virtual machines, and can't create a new
machines...


Has anybody working VMWare server on XPe? Any other ideas?
