Re: WDSC in a VM (was You wanna talk about POed... )

So I just downloaded two files from vmware.com.  Which one(s) do I really
need to install Arco?

VMware-server-win32-client-1.0.2-39867.zip
or
VMware-server-installer-1.0.2-39867.exe 

P.s. I have 4GB of memory in this machine so I should be good to go on that
front:-)

Thanks in advance,
Aaron Bartell

This is not true. I use the free VMWare server with XP Pro for testing
environments. You can create VM's for a wide range of operating systems. For
Windows it goes from Windows 3.1 to Vista x64 and Server 2003 x64.
I have used the VM's with an XP Pro installation and WDSc, and it just runs
fine in a VM, but you have to be carefull with memory allocation. Your VM
host has to have plenty of memory that you can allocate to the VM guest, or
else it will swap too much and you'll become a very bad performance.
