G'day Guys,
I found the following problem when I tried to install the Kali supplied VM on Workstation 8.
Error Message:
"The configuration file "D:\VMware\kali-linux-1.0-i386-gnome-vm\kali-linux-i386-gnome-vm.vmx" was created by a VMware product that is incompatible with this version of VMware Workstation and cannot be used."
"Cannot open the configuration file D:\VMware\kali-linux-1.0-i386-gnome-vm\kali-linux-i386-gnome-vm.vmx."
"Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to."
The fix is as follows:
Edit the kali-linux-i386-gnome-vm.vmx file,
find the line that starts "virtualHW.version ="
change the version of workstation you are using to 8 (or the relevant VMware Workstation version you are using)
Save the file and retry.
It should now work
Cheers
Paul
