install Vsphere on VMware Workstation Pro

[LeJus1e]

Hello everyone !!!!

I have a problem with installing vSphere. Indeed I have downloaded vSphere 7.0 from the vmware site, I want to install it in a virtual machine. So I installed Vmware Workstation 15.5 Pro (the latest version). when choosing the type of operating system during the creation of the VM, I choose VMware ESX but in the option of choosing the version there is no version 7.0 or 7.x, the larger version is 6.x. I tried to download Vsphere 6.7 but it is no longer available and I don't know how to do it.

Can someone please have Vsphere 6.7 or tell me how I can go about installing Vsphere on Workstation Pro? thank you

Moderator: In this French area of the forum you can use the French language, that is what this area is for if you look at other threads here.

If you want the thread to be in English I can move it to the main Workstation Pro or vSphere areas - that's up to you.

To answer your questions (in English), while the current version of Workstation doesn't list ESXi 7.0 as an option for the VM it should install and work correctly if you choose ESXi 6.x for the VM but then install 7.0.

This should help you: https://vinfrastructure.it/2020/04/installing-esxi-7-0-on-vmware-workstation/
