Cannot start ISE 13.4 under VMware

Hello,

 

I have installed ISE Webpack 13.4 under VMware (4 times by now). After installation is finished

I start ISE and then try to create a "New Project". But I always get:

 

"Failed to create a temporary project"

 

and after "OK":

 

"A Xilinx Application has encountered an unexpected error ..."

 

I tried this in VMware under Windows XP and Windows 7 - same result.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi

 

on the basis your using vmware,

   are you on linux, 

 

then you install windows, and then install ISE web pack 

 

or have I missed something,

Re: Cannot start ISE 13.4 under VMware

Hi,

 

the OS of my "real" PC is Windows 7.

 

On that "real" PC runs vmware. Inside of vmware I tried boths: Windows XP and Windows7 as OS.

Based on that I installed ISE. In both cases (Windows XP and Windows 7 as OS in vmware)

I cannot properly start ISE but get the error mentioned above.

 

Thanks.

Re: Cannot start ISE 13.4 under VMware

ok

 

two steps

step 1

 

  you have administration privelages et all in your vm,

       check you can install and run something else that needs admin privilages

 

step 2

 

why VMware. ISE can never run as fast in Vm as it does on the native computer.

             if you don't need vm, then don't use it,

 

 

I can see use of Vm, where you don't have admin rights to install ISE on iwndows 7, 

    but if you have 7, install it natevely.
