So one day I decided to try out Windows 95 in VMware Workstation (I'm using 11.1.0). I install VMware Tools, however there is an error:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
I am able to install VMware Tools by running the VMware Tools.msi
file on the drive, however there is (yet) another error.
Setup failed to install the SVGA driver automatically. This driver will have to be installed manually. Instructions for how to do this will appear at the end of the installation.
After I finish the installation, nothing shows up, except a prompt to reboot.
I tried using the Hardware Installation Wizard to install the driver at C:\PROGRA~1\VMWARE\VMWARE~1\DRIVERS\VIDEO
. It didn't work. Any other ideas?
