Stack Overflow for Teams is a private, secure spot for you and your coworkers to find and share information. See full list on docs.vmware.com. There is also an issue in VMware Player on Build 10130. The problem revolves around installing the network services, there are issues installing the network services to the Ethernet adapter for not only VMware Bridge Protocol which gives the error: Could not add the requested feature. The error: is: Class not registered.
UPDATE FOR UNIVERSAL C RUNTIME IN WINDOWS KB2999226
If GNS3 ask you for Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows KB2999226 you need to install it. In theory this is distributed via Windows Update but you can force manual installation:
On Window 7 you need service pack 1.
If you can’t install it you need to investigate why Windows Update is no longer working on your system it could be a virus blocking all updates including security updates.
API-MS-WIN-CRT-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL IS MISSING
Make sure all the Windows update are installed and your computer as reboot. On Window 7 you need service pack 1. If not working download:http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/5/e/85edb843-93af-4daa-ad1e-c33dfa95b2ea/vc_redist.x64.exe

This error mean VMware has failed due to an internal error. But the VMware tools don’t provide informations when something is wrong on his side.
This could be :
*The VM is corrupted
*Your VMware installation as expired
*VMware ask you something in the GUI
*Permissions issue with your VMware installation
It’s very important to run GNS3 and VMware under the same user.
How to troubleshoot:
*Start the faulty VM in the GUI
*If VM is not working reimport it
*If the VM doesn’t work try to import a different VM
*If this VM doesn’t work reinstall GNS3vmrun timeout#
This issue is often related to a problem with your antivirus / firewall.
See the official answer from VMware:I can’t find VMWare virtual machines in GNS3#
The player version of VMware have limitation and if your VM are not in the default directory sometimes GNS3 could not found the VM.
This problem doesn’t occur with the paid version of VMware because a central database is available to third parties applications.VirtualBox#Invalid VBoxManage executable name VirtualBox.exe#
In the GNS3 settings the path for your VBoxManage is incorrect. VirtualBox.exe is the VirtualBox executable, VBoxManage is the application from VirtualBox for controlling VirtualBox it’s two different executables.Cannot start VM because hardware virtualization (VT-x/AMD-V) is already used by another software like VMware or KVM#
Another virtualization software (VMware, Qemu with KVM, Hyper-V...) is already running on your computer and use your CPU hardware virtualization. Only one program can benefits of the hardware acceleration. You need to stop the other program if you want to start VirtualBox.The following physical network interfaces were not found: vboxnet0#
The default VirtualBox interface network interface are not installed on your system. You can fix that in VirtualBox preference or by reinstalling VirtualBox.QEMU#ASA#

This mean the remote server where you try to run Qemu doesn’t support KVM (hardware acceleration for Qemu). Read this documentation to enable it if possible: KVM support available: false

The virtualisation software where the GNS3 VM is running doesn’t support nested virtualization. Many possible reason:
*VirtualBox doesn’t support it; you can’t enable it
*Your CPU doesn’t support virtualization
*The virtualization instructions are not enabled in your BIOS
*The hardware virtualization is not enabled for this VM in VMware
*For ESXi it’s require manual operation (see below)I can’t use KVM on ESXi#
In order to use KVM (hardware acceleration for Qemu VMS) you need to enable the nested virtualization on the GNS3 VM in ESXi. Depending on how you administrate the ESXi it could be a checkbox in your interface or a configuration file to change.Could not find the default VM directory with VMware player#
A limitation of the free version of VMware player doesn’t allow you to change the default VM directory for third parties applications.
You can fix it by:Editing the file %Appdata%VMwarepreferences.iniAnd add a line like this:prefvmx.defaultvmpath = ’F:My DocumentsVirtual Machines’KVM is not working on VirtualBox#
It’s a limitation of VirtualBox. If you want to use KVM in a VM you need VMware.Error while executing VMware command#
If you see a dialog like that:
This mean GNS3 try to send a command to VMware but it’s doesn’t work due to an issue with your VMware installation.
*First try to run the command in a terminal to see if VMware don’t ask you something in a message dialog (when launched from GNS3 VMware will fail but will not display dialog)
*Make sure GNS3 and VMware run under the same user. If you use “Run as administrator” it will start GNS3 under a different user than you standard user and VMware will not know how to connect.

You have an old Open SSL installation on your system. This installation take the priority on GNS3 bundled version. You need to upgrade your Open SSL or uinstall it.
VMware vSphere also affected by multiple vulnerabilities since its uses Intel/AMD platforms. VMware vSphere has multiple layers of virtualization and sadly, you should apply/update the patches for all the components which includes Operating systems, virtual machines, virtual appliances, hypervisors, server firmware, and CPU microcode. Operating system patches can reduce the risk with help of hypervisor patches without updating the server firmware (CPU microcode update) but it would be more secure if you update the hardware firmware as along with Hypervisor update and VM guest patching (Linux/Windows).Here is the list of three discovered Meltdown and Spectre variants:
*Variant 1: bounds check bypass (CVE-2017-5753) – a.k.a. Spectre
*Variant 2: branch target injection (CVE-2017-5715) – a.k.a. Spectre
*Variant 3: rogue data cache load (CVE-2017-5754) – a.k.a. MeltdownVMware classifies the mitigation in the below listed category.
*Hypervisor-Specific Mitigation
*Hypervisor-Assisted Guest Mitigation
*Operating System-Specific Mitigations
You must know about all the three different type mitigation before applying the patches since it could lead to performance issues.
Hypervisor-Specific Mitigation:
VMware Hypervisor is affected by Spectre – variant 1 & Variant 2. Meltdown doesn’t affect VMware vShpere hypervisor but guest require patches for both Spectre & Meltdown Vulnerabilities.
Hypervisor-Assisted Guest MitigationVmware Workstation Player Could Not Find Component On Update Server
It virtualizes the new speculative-execution control mechanism for guest VMs so that a Guest OS can mitigate leakage between processes within the VM. This mitigation requires that specific microcode patches that provide the mechanism are already applied to a system’s processor(s) either by ESXi or by a firmware/BIOS update from the system vendor.
Operating System-Specific Mitigation:
Mitigation for Operating Systems are provided by respective OS Vendors. If you have virtual appliances, virtual appliance vendor will need to integrate these into their appliances and provide an updated appliance.VMware Products which are affected by Spectre:
*VMware vSphere ESXi (ESXi)

To remediate CVE-2017-5715 in the Guest OS, the following VMware and third-party requirements must be met:
VMware Requirements
*Deploy the updated version of vCenter Server listed in the table (if vCenter Server is used).
*Deploy the ESXi patches and/or the new versions for Workstation or Fusion listed in the table.
*Ensure that your VMs are using Hardware Version 9 or higher. For best performance, Hardware Version 11 or higher is recommended. VMware Knowledge Base article 1010675 discusses Hardware Versions.
Third party Requirements
*Deploy the Guest OS patches for CVE-2017-5715. These patches are to be obtained from your OS vendor.
*Update the CPU microcode. Additional microcode is needed for your CPU to be able to expose the new MSRs that are used by the patched Guest OS. This microcode should be available from your hardware platform vendor.VMware is providing several versions of the required microcode from Intel and AMD through ESXi patches listed in the table.

“Intel has notified VMware of recent sightings that may affect some of the initial microcode patches that provide the speculative execution control mechanism for a number of Intel Haswell and Broadwell processors. The issue can occur when the speculative execution control is actually used within a virtual machine by a patched OS. At this point, it has been recommended that VMware remove exposure of the speculative-execution mechanism to virtual machines on ESXi hosts using the affected Intel processors until Intel provides new microcode at a later date.”Affected VMware Virtual Appliances : (VMware KB)
