Error 134 when downloading VMWare Fusion Tech Preview 2023

tanya_robin — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 23:37:22 GMT

So let me just say that I am NOT tech savvy at all and I probably sound like an old granny in this post that doesn't know how to use a computer so just bear with me please. I'll try to be as thorough as possible in this post, but if you need more information please ask me and I will gladly give it to you. I'm using a 2020 MacBook Air with an M1 chip that's running MacOS Big Sur 11.6. I don't have any fancy external chip things running on it, and pretty much everything technical on it is just factory settings.

Anyways, I'm downloading the VMWare Fusion Tech Preview 2023 to run Windows on my Mac and I've been very carefully following a tutorial on how to do it. I get to the part where I put "./ w11arm_esd2iso" in the terminal window thing and it asks me if I want to create an ISO containing Windows 11 ARM Home/Professional editions by entering "h","e", or "q". Anyways, I hit "e" to create a Professional/Enterprise ISO and I get this error message as soon as I hit enter.

Does anyone know why I keep getting this Error 134 whenever I try to download it? It's happened everytime I've run the command and I have no idea how I'm messing up and it's very frustrating. Is there anything I can do to fix the error and stop it from happening? Any help is very appreciated.

New VMware Fusion tonight!

From @Mikero on Twitter ...

Tonight's the night... starting at 8:30pm PST, new @VMwareFusion and @vmw_workstation releases go live! Y'all like 3D graphics and free updates, right? Oh, and we still have "One More Thing..." that wasn't around in the Tech Preview

Missing Camera (USB Video device) in Windows 11 x64 ARM VM

Geoffrey84 — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:38:44 GMT

I currently have two Windows 11 x64 ARM virtual machines created with the same ISO installer, one of which correctly shows my MacBook Pro M2 Max camera, whereas the second does not. I noted the driver includes usbvideo.sys, and so I right-clicked on its associated usbvideo.inf file in the affected machine and successfully installed the hardware but it's still not displaying in my device list, not even as a hidden item. I've also tried reinstalling VMware Tools v12.3.0 to no effect. Is there anything I can do to get the FaceTime camera recognised?

Logitech 3D Extreme Joystick (USB) not recognised by Windows 11 x64 ARM VM

Geoffrey84 — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 17:03:38 GMT

With the latest VMware Tools (12.3.0 - thanks for the tip, Technogeezer!) I was finally able to run IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, a DirectX 8 Windows aviation simulator, in a VMware Windows 11 x64 ARM (MacBook Pro M2 Max Host macOS Sonoma host) virtual machine. The frame rates at 1920 x 1080 resolution are comparable to that in Parallels Desktop 19.0, however I cannot for the life of me get the USB Logitech joystick to connect. In Parallels Desktop (and CrossOver 23.5.0) the joystick is recognised immediately once plugged in, and drivers are automatically installed by Windows to enable calibration.

In the Fusion Tech Preview virtual machine no matter which USB plug I try, either connected to an external display or to the MacBook Pro itself, the joystick isn't being shown in the Settings panel. Has anyone had any luck with USB devices that weren't automatically recognised by the virtual machine, perhaps by modifying a Fusion configuration file? Other USB accessories, such as external hard drives or DVD players, are listed and available once plugged in (although the external hard disk formatted in APFS doesn't display in File Explorer).

Thanks for your help!

Energy status in the VM

ShaddamIV — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 07:20:20 GMT

Hello, thank you for this wonderful VM. I‘m running the Tech Preview on an M2 MBAir under Sonoma with Win11arm and it‘s a dream - super stable, super fast, just fantastic.

I set the VM to pass the energy status from Mac to VM. However, I see no energy options in the Windows control panel, and there is no battery indicator in the Windows task bar. It seems as if Windows (or the VM) is actually ignoring the energy information from the Mac. Is that so?

Have a great day, and - again - thank you very much,

Karl

Hangup on send ctl-alt-del after sonoma upgrade

ColoradoMarmot — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 17:18:30 GMT

I've had two instances now where the whole VMWare UI hangs - with the menu still active, after I try to send a ctrl-alt-del to the guest. Have to force quit and reboot the machine to clear it. This is new since upgrading to sonoma. Anyone else seeing it?

Windows VM turns off when VoiceOver is Running in Sonoma

Woodyanna — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 14:28:56 GMT

I'm running the tech preview on a 2022 M2 MacBook Air. I upgraded to Sonoma yesterday. If VoiceOver isn't running, my Windows 11 virtual machine starts normally. However, if VoiceOVer is running, the VM won't start. If I turn on VoiceOver after the VM is running, it is switched off within a few seconds.

Tech preview compatibility with Sonoma

Woodyanna — Sat, 07 Oct 2023 18:07:49 GMT

Hi. I have an M2 MacBook Air running the latest version of Ventura and am running the tech preview. I have a Windows 11 virtual machine that is working great. If I upgrade to Sonoma, am I likely to run into issues with it? I can't find any information about the tech preview's compatibility with Sonoma. Thanks.

Adding existing vmdk to encrypted (VM) not possible.

TECH198 — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 02:57:09 GMT

When installing Windows 11 in Fusion, i choose to just "ecnrypt vm files" instead of virtual disk..

I then got corrupted windows after complete shut down and could not repair, (see my other post).

I then thought, in order to post log to Microsoft community, and i was doing troubleshooting in WinPE, i thought i could just :

- add a known good working .vmdk from backup, and boot to that.

- add the corrupted .vmdk as 2nd, so i can access and copy log..

so i removed 1st hd, added known good backup vmdk, then re-added the corrupted one as a 2nd

However when i tried to "Apply" I got "can't add encrypted hard drive" so effectively, i was stuck..

Which is false.... The vm files were only encrypted, not the vmdk disk... so why can't i add it? The known-good one is also not encypted. as i only ever prefer encrypting vm fils, not disk.. So i know that's not the issue.

German keyboard layout missing special keys

stefantimm — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 05:35:04 GMT

Thanks to the official and unofficial guides, I had no problems installing Windows 11 ARM as a VM under Fusion 2023 Tech Preview.

The only thing I noticed so far is that the special keys don't work. The keyboard of my M2 Mac mini is German, so in Sonoma (I did a fresh install when it was released) I can easily get "@" by typing Option-L, "\" by typing Shift-Option-7 and so on.

This does also work out of the box in my Windows 11 VM on my Intel iMac (VMware Fusion 13.0.2 Pro, Windows 11 Pro).

While there may be ways to fix the mappings in Windows somehow (are there?), I was thinking if this works on Intel right away, maybe it should on ARM, too.

I used the w11arm_esd2iso to create the Windows 11 ARM ISO, I selected en-us when asked to choose a language. In Windows, I selected the keyboard German.

After upgrading to 22H2 - Windows Encryption Unknown

okynnor — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 18:07:21 GMT

I just did an upgrade of Fusion for Mac Tech Preview to the September/2023 release. After upgrading, it asks me for the password in order to open Windows 11 Arm. I don't remember that I had to take note of a password in order to access an encryption. Is there a way to recover this?

Windows 11 BSOD

TECH198 — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 02:48:57 GMT

Can anyone check this log ?

I am running VMWare Fusion Tech Preview 2023 on Macbook AIr (M1), and the only software i have installed ion OpenVPN 2.59. (due to issues with latest versions)

All was fine, till few moments ago i booted up with a boot loop.. (Attempting to repair), and then "Couldn't repair"

I shut down perfectly fine last night, and the only thing i did was attempt to start VM this morning. and then this.

Win 11 sound/audio stutter with 2023 Fusion preview

Memnarch — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 18:18:54 GMT

Hello all. Using Mac Pro M1 14, win 11 pro release 22621 fully patched, latest vmware 2023 tech preview (e x p).

Audio has considerable stutter/lag/popping. This is noticeable even when playing the test sounds in the windows control panel. Choosing higher bit depths/sampling rates makes it worse, but even present with the lowest 16k/44kHz. Very noticeable for example with 3dmark fire strike demo (which otherwise works well!).

I've searched the forums and don't see any recent fixes. A parallels demo install has no similar issues.

Any thoughts? Thanks, LT

Getting stuck on install on M1 Macbook Air

dgray1 — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:58:59 GMT

When running the installer I'm getting stuck on the "Initializing VMware Fusion..." part. When looking at the log file I see some warning messages with the last one being "2023-09-21T19:55:27.207Z Wa(03) host-618964 Failed to communicated with install helper."

I had last years technical preview installed and working as well. Now install of the technical preview and regular fusion player will get stuck in the install process. I tried deleting all vmware/fusion files I could find on the Mac, but no help so far.

d_p_murphy — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 20:29:42 GMT

Installed the tech preview last week per the instructions, everything went as expected. Then today I can't connect the win 11 vm to the network, Well it works it in Host-Only mode, but that isn't really going to cut it.

I've deleted the network adapter, ensured the vm knows the OS is Win 11, re-added the network adapter, reinstalled the vmware tools, checked the network device looks correct under device manager....

Any other suggestions?

VMware fusion - BSOD issue swaping between VMware and Microsoft RdP - macOS Sonoma

AveCezar — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 17:25:50 GMT

macOS Sonoma installed. VMWare Fusion 13 installed (tech preview ver)

Since a month BSOD every time:
1) vmware open successfully
2) Win11 open successfully
3) now I open MS RDP - successfully, swap to open Win11
4) I am working (office, other programs) successfully
4) then, after an hour, I am disconnecting MS RDP, coming back to VMWare Fusion
5) screen is locked (expected), after entering password -> desktop open successfully (until now everything as expected)
6) now, after a couple of seconds, BSOD is happening -> every time after above scenario (1) - 5)
Please note anything was not changed in configuration, I was working such way since February, and until August everything was working properly i e 1)-5)
Win11 (Pro, 25947.1000 rs_prerelease build), MacOS_Sonoma, VMware Fusion Professional Version e.x.p (22068932) - all newest installed
In win11 -> sfc /scannow, DISM/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth -> no issues
Frequency -> everytime

(memory dump file C:\Windows is too large to attach)

can anybody help ?

Fusion 2023 Tech Preview: BT Controller not recognized in Win11

suisse2k — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 11:26:37 GMT

Trying to get my xbox controller already paired in MacOS Ventura detected in Win11 Arm.

Would that ever work?

Via USB it's working fine.

Thx

Install VMWare Tools : ".\setup.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command."

I apologize for making so many posts - but each of these feels like a distinct and separate problem with the installation instructions. Am I following the right guide? If so, it seems to be out of date. On page 39 "Procedure: Creating the VM and installing Windows 11 from ISO", step 3, it says to click on the window and press Shift-Fn-F10. Small issue, but that did not do anything for me. Probably my das Keyboard. I had to just press Shift-F10 for it to respond.

But on the next step, Step 4, it says to run .\setup.exe from the D drive. I get the message ".\setup.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command." And if I run 'dir', there is no setup.exe inn the D drive's root directory.

There's a "setup.ps1". But if I run that, it puts up a dialog "Package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation."

Press any key to boot from CD or DVD .... ?

Hello I am trying to follow along with the Tech Preview Companion. I used CrystalFetch to download the .iso. I followed the Testing Guide to install the .iso.

But when it ran the installer, it waited a while with the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD?" I wasn't sure whether to press a key or not, so I waited. Then it went to this screen. Not sure what I did wrong?
