eAs I read the host  compatiblity guide the answer is no - it is not suplported.  However the guild only goes upl to  WS 7.14 - missinig WS 7.15. for some reason   I may be reading this wrong - somebody who uses the compoatiblity guide as the last word would  know better.  Or ther emay be a                   another answer.workaround on the web - use   Google  Mainly I would  just  try to install it myself - backupl your system first    as always.

Then post  file /vra/log/vmware-installer    please try to comporess it with zip or tar if you can.

Good luck

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the response. I tried to install Windows 8 on VM 7.1.5. Just for your information it did install but at the end of installation an error message pupped off saying installation failed.

When Vmware moved the workstation from ver. 7.xx to ver 8.xx I made a discussion asking for the feature of the CPU and the PC. The fact that going to the Best Buy and telling the clreck I want a PC with this Spec, he or she would not understad. I want you to tell me what CPU of Intell (i3, I5, i7) or AMD support the Spec for vewest version of

workstation which I assume is 9.xx. Your help is greatly appreciated

Best regards.

System requirements for new Vmware Workstation versions is accessible in the user manuals. You can access those below:

Workstation 8: Introduction and System Requirements chapter: https://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws80-getting-started.pdf

Workstation 9: http://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.ws.get_started.doc%2FGUID-C665A78...

After reveiwing the requirements, you can refer to the product specification of the CPU, which you plan to use, and verify if the features required by Workstaiton is available on the CPU.
