Vmplayer.exe not available in windows services.msc?

[widodude]

Hello,

I was trying to configure Vmplayer.exe to boot up automatically but I could not find vmplayer.exe as a windows service; there is available:

VMwarem DHCP

VMware Agent

VMware NAT

etc....

but not VM player?!

Who has come across this and what workaround have you found?

Thanks

VMware Player is not built to run as a service. However, there are different discussions and possible solutions using srvany.exe.

If you google for site:vmware.com srvany player you will find some interesting posts for this issue.

I suspected as much Andre, we used to run Vmware server 1.0.4XX although I had to switch to VM player as it seemed to run the latest version of Fedora 11/12 i686 images with stability (however the builds are different so we can't use latest version of VM ware server to run hence these workarounds grrrrr....

I'll have a butcher at that google search

Cheers
