Hiding VMWare from 'VMWare disabled applications'?

[ran007]

I have a program that will not run on VMWare. When I try running the application from within VMWare, it specifically says, you are unable to run this program from a Virtual Machine.

My question is, how can I trick the program so that it will run in VMWare?

thanks!

You can't disable VM detection completely.

If the program uses the VM "backdoor" commands you can set isolation parameters.

If the program uses the "blue pill" approach you can enable VT.

If it checks for the virtual hardware - you are lost.

If it uses "timing attacks" you are lost as well.

Your suggestion is helpfull, but I don't know how to set those parameters.

The isolation parameters are documented here http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-advanced.html#isolationtools

32bit VT is only an option if your hosts CPU supports VT. This however is not supported and could decrease performance.
