I am using vmware workstation 9. I have set the virtual machine to NAT, and the DHCP scope is mentioned in Vmware's virtual network editor. but my virtual machine do not get the IP as given in the VMware's DHCP scope and get always 169... series ip. when i check the services VmWare DHCP service, it was not running, tried starting but couldn't and get the error
Windows could not start Vmware DHCP service on local computer
Error 2 : The system cannot find the file specified.
I checked the file VMnetDHCP.exe and it is available under system32 as well as Vmware's install directory
