Hope not, too. But I did notice something when I went to wipe out my virtual machines. The first one created was only about 90 meg, the second one over 3 gig. Wondering if something went wrong with the first and it was affecting the second. I have wiped them both out and this time I will install from the ISO I downloaded from the MS store and leave my Fusion disk in the drive.

I have just had one thought as you talk about your serial number. Some months ago, I installed a new virtual machine running windows 7 (bearing in mind) that I had installed the same operating system many times since I bought this retail version in 2010 when I was in the USA. So when I re-installed the same again, I could not register it and had to call Microsoft Automated system to get my code reset. The reason for me to tell you this was I could not install the VMware tools until the machine was properly registered again. Hope you are not having the same issue. Kawal.

This worked the last time I did this with Version 3x. But I did notice the two times I created virtual machines that the process seemed to take no time at all. The frist time I figured maybe Windows had not installed properly, tried it again, just as fast, but I didn't delete the first VM first. Let me try it that way. But how can the tools install automatically if they need the VM disk to be in the drive if I have the windows disk in the drive? Am I better off installing Windows from the ISO file I got when I bought this upgrade version and leaving the VM disk in the drive?
