Hi,
I realize there is some problem with sage-vmware-2.7 but I seem to be
getting a different error message and would like to know if it is
perhaps just me doing something dumb.
I'm using Win XP, on a Dell 620 Notebook and on a Intel Pentium 4
Desktop.
VMWare 2.0 installed fine on both computers and I rebooted them (as
required by the installation). Then sage-vmware-2.7.zip unzips in a
couple of minutes. But when I doubleclick on sage.vmx I get a VMWare
message:
"Error while opening the virtual machine. This virtual machine
appears to be in use."
(followed by the path and file name of the sage.vmx configuration
file).
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Or did I overlook some required
step?
Thanks,
Pete
