Re: Can I run VMware Workstation Pro 16 and Hyper-V and docker (linux images) on Windows Server 2022

I have now also tried the later release v17.0.2 and the error is still the same.

Hopefully VMware will find a way to fix this.

This post has now been viewed over 500 times, but sadly has not received any replies.

I'm fairly certain that I'm not the only person who is trying to do this.

I have now even tried the later release v17.0.2 and the error is still the same.

Hopefully VMware will find a way to fix this.

Hi,

Did you ever manage to get anywhere with this?

I have a similar post in the VMware Workstation Player community, but it has received no responses.

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Player/Compatibility-with-Hyper-V-on-Windows-Server-2022-host/m-p/2940536

VMware Workstation Pro/Player v17 is listed as supported on Windows Server 2022 on the following page :-

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80807

I have even tried a later release (v17.0.1) and it still complains about Hyper-V during install.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Should I be able to run VMware Workstation Player 17 on a Windows Server 2022 host running Hyper-V?

When I run the installation, I get the following message :-

This host supports the Windows hypervisor platform, but the implementation
is incompatible with VMware Workstation 17 Player. Remove the Hyper-V role
from the system before running VMware Workstation Player.

For more details, reference to the following Knowledge Base article.
Minimum requirement for Windows Host VBS support in VMware Workstation [https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76918]

The indicated article only makes any reference to Windows 10 as a supported host operating system.

This is for my home lab. I don't have any need to run VMware Workstation Player VMs and Hyper-V VMs concurrently, but I would like to be able to run each on the same host.

Found this article that states that Windows Server 2022 is a supported host for VMware Workstation 17 [https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80807].

Thanks.
