VMware player: could not find component on update server - virtual-machine

I installed MacOS 10.15 "Catalina" on VMWare Workstation Player in Windows 10 as host.
Now I want to install VMWare Tools so I clicked Player -> Manage -> Install VMware tools but I got this error:
I am using this version of player:
VMware® Workstation 15 Player
15.5.2 build-15785246

You can download the latest version here:
https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/latest/windows/x64/
Notice this folder is for Windows x64, browse for your OS, if different.
Download to your VM and install... then close the VM to get everything in sync.

React-Native installation on Windows 11 machine

I'm trying to get React Native installed on a Windows 11 virtual machine.
I keep getting Intel® HAXM installation failed. To install Intel® HAXM follow the instructions found at: https://github.com/intel/haxm/wiki/Installation-Instructions-on-Windows
I've tried installing Intel Haxm manually but I get
As this is a virtual machine I'm unable to access the bios to enable virtualization, so I've been following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/enterprise/nested-virtualization
Set up a WSL development environment.
Windows Subsystem for Android™️.
Install Hyper-V on Windows 10.
From the document linked above, I've tried all of them, restarted the machine and still I get the above error.
Can someone recommend any steps I may have missed to get Intel Haxm installed?

*OpenIMSCore* How to install OpenIMSCore

I would like to install the OpenIMSCore on my virtualbox machine and I follow this instruction: OpenIMSCore in a VM. I already downloaded the folders and extracted them but I dont know how to open them with the virtualbox.
This is a folder after I extracted the files:
Does anybody have an idea ?
You can't use VirtualBox. To start this virtual-machine you have to use VMware Software, for example VMware Workstation Player.

Unable to run Virtual Network Editor

I've downloaded and extracted the vmnetcfg.exe and vmnetcfglib.dll following this guide
But when I click the file to open it nothing happens.
Running as admin doesn't work as well.
VMWare player 6.
vmnet extracted from workstation 10.
Running windows 8.1
Solved by downloading VMware 6.03 (link)
And then downloading the missing vmnetcfg.exe & vmnetcfglib.dll from HERE

Moto X doesn't show up in Eclipse Windows 8.1

I have a Droid X (4.2.2), in developer mode.
I have Eclipse Juno running on Windows 8.1, with latest Android tools.
When I plug the device, I see "USB debugging connected" on the device, Windows offers me to browse files, but Eclipse's "Devices" tab doesn't show any device at all.
Tried to restart the device and eclipse.
There are no Win8 instructions but I've tried to follow the Win7 instructions: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Win7 but when I browse to the driver folder it says it cannot find the driver.
The link to the Motorola OEM drivers is dead (http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Drivers).
Motorola provides a device manager that installs the proper drivers for you. My moto x showed up just fine after the install.

Can I use the Kinect API on a virtual machine?

This programming guide implies that this is possible, so I figure what the heck.
Right now, though, it doesn't work.
Host OS is Vista 64-bit, VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 is running Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
Installed Software on the VM:
Visual C# 2010 Express
Microsoft Server Speech Platform Runtime
Microsoft Server Speech Recognition Language - Kinect
Microsoft Speech Platform SDK
Kinect for Windows SDK Beta
I plug in the Kinect, the device is recognized by the VM, then I run the Sample Shape Game and it doesn't recognize the device. It says "Plug in the Kinect and try again" which turns out to be error 0x80080014, which leads to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/kinectsdknuiapi/thread/4da8c75e-9aad-4dc3-bd83-d77ab4cd2f82/
which gives me two things to look at:
is it plugged in with the special cable? yes
are all 4 entries in the Device Manager? no
In the Device Manager, I see a "Microsoft Kinect" group containing Microsoft Kinect Audio Control, Microsoft Kinect Camera and Microsoft Kinect Device, but there is nothing under "Sound, video and game controllers" other than VMware VMaudio. "Kinect USB Audio" should be there.
I'm guessing that there is some further twiddling I have to do with the VMWare USB / hardware options (whatever that tray with the USB / CD / HD / floppy etc icons is called) or some deft combination of rebooting and (un)plugging, but I'm almost out of enthusiasm.
Any ideas? TIA
EDIT: I realized that I had some lingering drivers on my host (Vista) system from OpenKinect. After removing them, I can no longer see the Kinect at all in the VM. Hmm.
There is this on read.me
Virtual machines: You must run applications built with the Kinect for Windows SDK Beta in a native Windows environment. Kinect for Windows applications cannot run in a virtual machine, because the Microsoft Kinect drivers and this SDK Beta must be installed on the computer where the application is running.
just to share that (not really understood how) VM Workstation 8 running in a host win 7 x64 with guest OS Ubuntu 10.04 sucessfully detected and installed Kinect drivers.
I was able to test it with libfreenect (OpenKinect Project) http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Manual_Build_on_Linux
best regards,
I'm late to the party, but we've been running and developing for the Kinect with Windows 7 running under VMWare under Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
I'm not a Computer Scientist, but I thought Turing showed that a universal Touring Machine was basically the same as physical hardware. I've had Distributed COM+ running on 3 or 4 VM's on the same physical hardware, but somehow the Kinect device is different? I don't buy that at all.
The most recent version of Microsoft Kinect for Windows (v1.6, possibly slightly earlier versions) in combination with the "Kinect for Windows" hardware does work inside a virtual machine. I run this setup on a MacBook Pro, Parallels 7 and Windows 7.
Note that a Kinect for Xbox does not work inside a virtual machine.
This page from Microsoft says that the "Kinect for Windows" device should work in a VM, but that the "Kinect for XBOX" does NOT work.
First of all you just need two Things to be installed:
libfreenect
libusb
after that you should set three flags to 0x02 at the line
typedef enum {FREENECT_DEVICE_MOTOR = 0x02,FREENECT_DEVICE_CAMERA = 0x02,FREENECT_DEVICE_AUDIO = 0x02,} freenect_device_flags;
Inside the headerfile located at /usr/local/include/libfreenect libfreenect.h but you will lose the ability to control the movement and the the microphone usage will be disabled so don't even try to access them or your device might get damaged after that you should also set
#define PKTS_PER_XFER 32
#define NUM_XFERS 6
inside your libfreenect/src/usb_libusb10.h file at the linux Line
After that rebuild your libfreenect by
mkdir build
cd build cmake ..
make make install.
Than Restart your virtual System and plug and connect only the Kinect Camera Device and no other Kinect device during start of the VM. When System is up you could test your device is properly working by switching to your previously created libfreenect build directory and go to bin there you run ./freenect-camtest you should get no or only a small number of package losses if a lot of losses occur try restart your vm with the camera device pluged in and already connected to your vm. You might need to active disconnect and connect the Webcam from the VM during startup to receive images this should be done during first seconds of VM Boottime!
Works with Ubuntu 14.04 and Workstation 10 and 11 and 11.1
HOST OS Windows 7 and Kinect SDK installed and Kinectdevice for Windows
Also it seems to be quite unstable you often have to restart your virtual system if you can't receive images from your Kinect. But if you once received images don't unplug device or you won't get data until you reboot virtual system with Kinect Camera connected to it.
=> This actually solved the problem otherwise to much frames get lost and its not possible to display proper image!
