Hi, downloaded 4.0.1 and that was incompatible with the vmx file that 5.5.2 created. (I guess I could have recreated the VM using 4.0.1 but that would probably be incompatible with the version of player I am using.)
So then I installed on 5.5.2 on the machine with vmplayer on (windows 7). Again, it failed with the same reasons as before.
I just have to accept that my combination simply does not work.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
John
