Title: VMWare 5
Post by Archie on May 31st, 2005, 2:50am
I cannot seem to get it work with VMWare 5. When I try to add a serial to my Virtual Machine, there's only my *real* com port under the configuration screen.

Is it not possible to use VSPK with VMWare 5?

At least there is not any problem with VMWare 4.5.1. Of course we will try new VM version and inform you.

I found that VMWare 5.0 use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial\Enum key to detect available console ports.

You can add FABULATECH's ports manually as [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial\Enum]
"2"="FABULATECH\\VSPK\\FABULATECHDEVICE03" ; COM3
"Count"=dword:0000003 ;inc
LocalSystem rights required

Or just edit manually virtual machine configuration file.
