Re: Doubts before Installing Virtual Center 4.0

Hi All,

I have a few questions to ask our experts here , so that i can have a clear information on the installation.

Firstly let me explain what i have done till now ,

I have installed ESXi free version and ESX 4.0 Enterprise edition (Eval ) on VMware workstation 6.5.3 and the host OS being WIndows Vista Home Basic Edition.

I know that virtual center server wouldnt install on windows vista ( host os ) , now will it be ok if i create a windows server vm and then install virtual center in that vm , and is there any chance that we can configure all the three the esx vm , virtual center and the virtual client all of them together , using this configuration.

Please reply.

It's possible but you can have some big problem with memory requirements.
