am i missing something to make it display? the link to the guide im using is:

While you may possess a legal copy of OS X, the license agreement only permits you to virtualize it with an Apple-branded computer as the physical host and is running the same OS.
https://ssl.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX1011.pdf (page 2, emphasis mine) speaks to this if you got the OS through the App Store:
(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using OS X Server; or (d) personal, noncommercial
use
If you got the OS pre-installed on a Mac, you can't transfer that to a VM (see the section of the agreement above what I pasted) and it still requires that you run it on Apple-branded hardware.
Long story short, if you virtualize your legal copy of El Capitan on VMWare running on a Windows PC, you'll be in violation of the license agreement.

I'm running VMWare version 16 on Linux with a MacOS guest VM.
I can drag-and-drop from Linux to the MacOS guest VM finder. But when I'm trying the opposite, from the MacOS guest VM finder back to the Linux, it fails with the following Linux error:
Any idea what is wrong?

I need to shut down "Guest OS" of machines in powershell.
I dont have VMware Tools installed on the guest to use Shutdown-VMGuest.
My question is can this be done without installing VMWare tools on the guest. Is this even a possible ?
If NOT: Are there any other commands (like soft power operation, but i dont really understand this) OR any other ways to do this ?
If NOT: Is there any equivalent of "Shutdown guest OS" that can be done in powershell ?
It does look like i am posting 3 questions, but i want to just be able to shutdown guest os of vms bypassing installing VMWare tools using powershell.
PS: I am new to this, please be kind if this seems like a stupid question :)
The shutdown guest OS is a vmware tools option, and the benefit is that it is OS independent, as long as the vmware tools are installed it works.
PowerShell has the stop-computer command: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/stop-computer?view=powershell-7
You could use the -computername option for a remote machine.
-ComputerName
Specifies the computers to stop. The default is the local computer.
Type the NETBIOS name, IP address, or fully qualified domain name of one or more computers in a comma-separated list. To specify the local computer, type the computer name or localhost.
This parameter doesn't rely on PowerShell remoting. You can use the ComputerName parameter even if your computer isn't configured to run remote commands.
PS. I'm assuming a WIndows Based OS here, correct?
VMware player may have the option for shutdown/restart guest OS even no VMTools is installed in the guest? (to be confirmed though)

I can't find a clear answer on this question. I'm working on a study for a client who has Windows 8 Pro devices and needs a specific application. We've found which is flagged as a "Windows RT" app. How do I know if it can run on Windows 8 Pro ?
Windows store apps know what platforms they run on. Windows RT is the OS made to run on ARM processors, while x86 and x64 are your normal desktop and laptop computers. The app developer chooses which platforms are supported so its possible the app only works on ARM although I'd be a bit surprised.
If you are able to see an app in your systems app store that it means the system fulfills required criteria for the app. So the app will be install-able.

Currently running osx 10.8.2
Have an external network drive attached to my rt-n66u router running tomato
I'm trying to use tmutil to connect my external network drive, and am having a lot of trouble.
I mount the drives in Finder
Run sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/external, and get Incompatible file system type: smbfs (error 45)
Any ideas? :(
I can't answer your question specifically aside from telling you that timemachine backups on samba shares are not supported officially. As a consequence, even if you will be able to backup your data on a samba share (as far as I know lots of people have issues to do so), you will run into trouble during a restore procedure. If you would try to restore your data by booting an OS X livecd you couldn't because it doesn't have a samba client installed in order to connect to a samba share. The next step would be to try to connect the backup drive directly to your Mac to access your data. Chances are this would also fail because the harddrive was formatted with a linux filesystem which is not supported by OS X.
So the best thing you could do is to install netatalk (afpd) on that router box if it is possible at all.

I'm trying to run windows 7 on virtual pc. My host OS is windows XP. The vm is running fine but i could not set screen resolution in windows 7 to equal to host OS.
My windows XP is running on 1366*768
but
My windows 7 in virtual pc can only set to 1152*768 as a maximum resolution.
I'd like to know how to config virtual-pc to display the same resolution as host OS.
Please help.
Thank you.
Coordinate full-screen video resolution with the host operating system.
To coordinate full-screen video resolution with the host operating system
Open Virtual PC Console.
On the File menu, click Options.
Click Full-Screen Mode, and then select or clear the Adjust screen resolution so the host operating system is the same as the guest operating system check box.
Refer VPC Help for more details.
You need to install "Integration features" into Virtual OS (virtual pc window top: tools-> Enable Integration Features).
