Starting VMfusion 7, receiving a VMX file corrupt error. I have read a few solutions online but menus are different and I can't seem to follow the repair. Is there someone that can assist me? I attached the VMX log file as well.
with VMware Fusion closed, replace the VM's .vmx file with the one I recreated from the vmware.log file. Make sure you backup the original file in case something doesn't work as expected.
Hello, I too have a corrupted vmx file... I don't know if it is appropriate to ask in this way but would you by chance be able to recreate same for me if I was to upload the appropriate files? Running VMWare 5.0.4 and a Windows 7/64 OS...
Here we go. Since the VM has snapshots (six of them), make sure that the current one is the that shows up in the .vmx file. In doubt, backup the VM's files to have a way back in case something goes wrong.
Hello.....I have another VMX file that has been corrupted. The common thread is that I updated these Mac's to Yosemite and also updated the VM Fusion to 7.1 since anything lower would not run on Yosemite. Has anyone else heard of this issue or encountered this issue?
Could someone assist me once again with the corrupt file? I attached it to my post. I appreciate the help.
I can't tell you what's causing the corruption, but if you plan to upgrade the OS or Fusion, make sure you cleanly shut down the VMs rather than to suspend them.
