VMware Fusion crashes when using Windows 7 Beta (build 7000)

[pmcarrion]

Hi,

VMware Fusion (v. 2.0.2) crashes when using Windows 7 Beta (build 7000). I have set up the VM as Windows Server 2008 x64 with default settings.

I am attaching the crash log. Why is this happening?

Thanks,

Percy

I believe Windows 7 beta is not supported on the fusion as of now.

I know Windows 7 is not supported, but it's not the Virtual Machine what crashed. VMware Fusion did.

I understand Percy, but if it's not supported, Vmware doesn't guarantee it will work. you can try to log a case with them and see if it helps.

... I have set up the VM as Windows Server 2008 x64 with default settings.

Can you try creating a new VM, choosing Vista instead? (And I assume you're installing the 64bit Windows 7. If you're installing the 32bit, then make a Vista32 VM.) Other posts I've read seem to indicate success with a Vista VM settings. This is what I used for a Workstation 6.5 VM, although I was installing the 32bit version of Windows 7.
