vCenter: Version 6.7.0 Build 10244857 Host: VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 11925212 vSphere web client will not allow me to create a new VM with a disk larger than the free space available, even if it is thin provisioned. It will, however, happily allow me to create as many disks as I want that are below the size free, even if the total is more than the free space available. How can I force creation of a single disk that is larger than the free space in the datastore? I am not concerned about over-provisioning since once this VM is loaded with software, it is going to be exported to another host.
It seems I cannot shutdown a VM from VMa with ESXi 6 free license: vi-admin@vma:~> vmware-cmd -H xxxx -U xxxx -P xxxx /vmfs/volumes/56ef14b0-0e8222ea-66cc-001517fd91a4/zoneminder/zoneminder.vm...

I was able to get this to install by giving "Everyone" "Full Control" in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users. I know that's probably not recommended, and don't ask me why before I was able to write to the files the installer couldn't (I am Administrator after all).. Is it somehow possible the installer drops privledges before running? Well, it's starting anyway.. now to see if it can do anything useful.

If I try to log in as the actual username "Administrator" and run this, I get: Error 1317.An error occurred while attempting to create the directory C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data Now, I checked and this directory exists. So what's the problem creating it if it's already there?!?

I didn't see anything of much use in the file, or any of the other log files there.. They were too big to post so I deleted them hoping to get a fresh (and perhaps smaller) copy on the next run. They were not re-created!! There were errors about files not found that clearly do exist, and unable to create files, files that already are there. I deleted all these files to try to get a fresh installation, but I'm still getting the error about can't copy converter-agent.xml. It says in the log the file is not found.. Now, I checked, when the installer is running, that file does exist. Once it dies the file is gone. I know this is not supposed to be so difficult!!

Whenever I try to install converter 4.3 on my XP SP3 box (local installation), I first get a message about unable to save the .msi file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\somegarbage\... Then I tell it to save elsewhere, and it proceeds up to about 99%, hangs there for a moment, and then says: "Error 29163.Could not copy file C:\DOCUME~1\MATTCA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\converter-agent.xml" and it gives up and rolls back everything. I am administrator on the machine. What gives?
