Install Windows Vista in VMware
Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
I’ve delayed trying Windows Vista for a long time, because I simply don’t trust installing a beta 
version of a Microsoft OS on my main computer and I don’t have another computer fast enough to install it. This weekend I’ve decided to install Vista into VMware so that I can see what’s new and figure out if my software is going to run on it without changes. Let’s get started…
First we’ll need to setup a new virtual machine for Windows Vista. The latest builds of VMware have “experimental” support for Vista, which is possibly a good thing. We’ll see how well it really works.
The default for a Vista VM appears to be 16 GB. I have plenty of hard drive space, so I just went ahead with it. If you are using a FAT32 filesystem, you’ll want to split the disk into 2GB files because you can’t have files bigger than 4GB.
