    Default WinOLS 1500 in VMware?

    Has anyone managed to get WinOLS 1500 to work in VMware? I created a Windows XP SP3 virtual machine and installed WinOLS 1500, but when you click on the loader, you can see that the program starts to load, but it will not start.

    Regards,
    Mark

    Default Winols

    I also tried to load WinOLS 2.24 in VMware and the same results. I can install it, but it will not load. The only version that works on VMware is Winols 1.721

    WinOLS does a VM detection check, which you can bypass by putting the following line into the .VMX config file of the virtual machine.

    isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "TRUE"

    This will however mean that VMware tools won't load, but WinOLS will
