However you might have problems installing. | However you might have problems installing. | ||
A few notes, before VMware Workstation 16.x, on Windows you would need to install VIX manually for VMware Player. | |||
For VMware Workstation Professional however it comes bundled with VMware VIX and installs it on your behalf. | |||
VMware Workstation | So for older versions of VMware Workstation, you can install Workstation and use VMware Player from that install. Player will even continue to work after the Professional trial runs out. | ||
For VMware Workstation 16.x, on Windows hosts VIX is already installed for both VMware Workstation Professional as well as VMware Player. | |||
It is also installed on Workstation for Linux afaik. | |||
That leaves us with VMware Player 16.x on Linux hosts. It does not come with VIX pre-installed at this time. | |||
Trying to install VIX 1.17 from above generates errors. | |||
Apparently you can work around that [https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Problem-installing-VMware-VIX-1-17-0/m-p/1847114/highlight/true#M109726 1] by renaming /usr/lib/vmware-installer into /usr/lib/vmware-installer_OFF (thanks Minir) | |||
