Is is possible to automate the installation of an OS using VMware or any other virtualization product?

Hi, Just to ask if there are any non-proprietary virtual image clients available, i.e. an application capable of running .vhd and/or .vmdk based virtual images? I have searched online, but have not been able to find any. Note, I am actually looking to avoid using the bloated VMware Server 2.0, with its web interface and resource hun...
For testing our product's installer, I maintain a tree of virtual machine snapshots with different previous versions installed. It is a tedious task to do Windows Update, re-snapshot, delete parent snapshot on each VM. Is there an automated solution for keeping a group of VMs up-to-date? I use VirtualBox but have access to VMware Workst...
My development machine is on the corporate network, and I log on to it using my domain account. I have VMware workstation installed, but my virtual machines are not and cannot be a part of the corporate domain. The problem is that I would like to use the VMware remote debugging option and debug from Visual Studio on the development mac...

I've started developing with Delphi on the Mac and thought I would share my observations and see if anyone else had any advice or tips for Mac development with Delphi. A while back I had some comment discussion about Delphi development on a Mac. It was in the comments of an answer to another question. With the passing of some months, ...
I seem to end up evaluating a lot of software. This requires me to constantly install all kinds of things on my system. It creates a huge clutter and I spend a lot of time during the install process, and if I don't like it, then removing everything I've done. Much of my evaluation tends away from the features of the software being eva...
May I burn in flames if this has been answered. At work I use a Windows XP Pro machine for my development and at home I use a Macbook Pro. I am thinking of shifting my development environment over to virtual machines using VMWare Fusion (on the mac). My question is, can I open a virtual machine image created on my Mac with my windows co...

Hi all, My primary development platform is Windows, however I sometimes need access to Linux for porting and testing my apps. To do so I use a preconfigured general purpose VMware image.

Hi, I'm playing around with Django on a guest Ubuntu minimalist VM (no window manager). What's the best workflow for this? I think it would be best to be able to edit my files directly in my Windows IDE without having to SFTP or git between editing OS and server. Is it even possible to map my home directory in the Ubuntu VM to a wind...
I just installed WMware Workstation for the first time, and noticed that it included some new toolbars in Visual Studio for me to be able to debug applications on a virtual machine. Has anyone used this feature? How do you use it, and what do you debug with it? What are some of the benefits of debugging under a virtual machine as oppos...

When I use GIT on my local disk (Mac) everything is working perfectly but when I try to use git on volumes I have problems. For example /Volumes/vm1/webfolder is my local .git repository. If I create clone like $git@myserver:byrepo.git then I check for c...
I have a VM on my Win 7 machine running Server 2008. My website can't run properly unless it's running on the server due to COM+, other website integration and environment variables. Currently, I have VS2008 installed on the Windows Server 2008 and I develop there (which is dumb, I know) instead on in my Win 7 workstation. I hate this...
