Getting error while installing VC Server 5.1

[06dragon]

Hi,

I am trying to install VC Server 5.1 inside VM Ware work station 9, but getting error as processor not supported. ( Screen shot attached for reference).

Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this error while I have installed other components like Esxi 5.1, VC Client successfully.

My Host's config are :

Processor : Core i7 3rd Gen

RAM ; 16GB

And I am using Win Server 2008 Data Center inside WorkStation to install VC Server 5.1

Thanks

Ashish

The error message mostly saye your are trying to install it on 32 bit OS

Hi Arvind,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, this is 32 Bit OS. Can I install any 64Bit OS inside woekstation?? Because I read some where that we Can't install 64 Bit OS inside work station.

Thanks

If you have 64 bit CPU with VT support you should be able to run 64 but guest OS

Thank You very much for your concern.
