Host OS is XP Home SP2. Product is Sever 1.0.5.
Installation was done as Administrator and all defaults were accepted. so far i havent been able to open VMWare (the program itself, not the VMs) using Restricted User credentials. the program opens fine as Admin, but i like to avoid such thing. i believe -- and i can be wrong -- that it's safer to run both VMWare and its VMs in a restricted environment.... right? here is the error msg i get when launching VMWare Server as a Restricted User:
VMware Server unrecoverable error: (vmui)
Cannot get temporary directory for log file.
i'm not sure whether the use of XP Home as a Host OS is officially supported by VMWare Server. regardless, i'd like to know the experience of others with such permission problems and their possible solutions. this issue is, by no means, a huge annoyance, but i like use my Admin credentials as little as possible.
thanks in advance.
