Not familiar enough with VMWare yet to know where/what this config file is, but I'll give it a whirl. Sounds like it worked for 5.2.1 and 5.3 (which I couldn't get to work either) >=20 > It seems that only 4.x can be run on ESX and they aren't going > to support any newver versions. >=20 :( Maybe if we all complained/offered help to debug issue to VMWare about this they would fix it. They only officially support 4.9 as a guest running on ESX.
