install ESXi 5.0 on vmware workstation 7

[kevin0722]

Hi There,

After installing esxi 5.0 on workstation version 7, I failed to power on the virtual server on esxi 5.0 with error 0x80000001. It indicate the cpu imcompaitbility.

My CPU is E-1230 V2. I have enabled virtualization in BIOS.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

you need to enable the CPU features on the VM, watch this video:

Are you trying to run a 64-bit nested guest under your ESXi VM?  That isn't supported by Workstation 7.
