    That's funny. They release a new update with oldies in it. OMG.

    @Krakatoa: Thanks for clarification.

    Fixed problems with vms vista / 7 on host Windows 10/11 with turned vbs/memory integration? Or still KB4474419 kill vista and Windows 7 after newest Server 2008 R@ kill too? Without VBS is good I see on newest vmware.

    Is there a setting for .vmx to prevent detection of the virtualised environment?
    I don't know if this is the right place to ask.

    But what are you doing - VMware inside VMware ??? This VMware 1.0 has nothing to do with it.

    VMware 1.0 can't run inside a VM aka nested, just showing that it can and your tool is very handy to confirm that those pre-settings are in place.
    Beside that, well, I do run nested machines from time to time.
    (not 1.0 necessarily, that was just for fun)

    Using 2 first lines are mandatory for installing VMware for Windows 1.0 Build 294
    Skipping them and select smbios.reflectHost = "TRUE" will allow installing Imposition Studio v8 and you can copy files between host and guest as normal.
    Code:
    #isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "TRUE"
    #monitor_control.disable_directexec = "TRUE"
    #hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
    #board-id.reflectHost = "TRUE"
    #hw.model.reflectHost = "TRUE"
    #serialNumber.reflectHost = "TRUE"
    smbios.reflectHost = "TRUE"
    #SMBIOS.noOEMStrings = "TRUE"

    Can you explain for what purpose you use a virtual machine in a virtual machine? It is idiotic for me.

    Hiya @Gelip
    I'm afraid I don't have a satisfying answer and I see your point.

    :)
