Just one of those thoughts,
Instead of making VMWare images, that need prpietry software. Why not make Virtualbox images that is open source and free?
Thanks
Vistualbox can use vmware's appliances.

Hi
This type of software has its advantages
Fully installed software does not need a key, crack or patch!
Failed to install the software by the user is excluded!
(see the many postings to ask why it does not work)
If on other PC's run without change
and so on .......
The advantages of "VM", clearly outweigh the disadvantages!
Why do you need the "install disk", except to install the software?
regards
Just one example i can think of. Why do you need a seperate VM ware for Lindos, Truck expert, truck doctor, pathfinder etc. Why not have all 4 software on one VMware image.
You can make one virtual machine and install all the Linde programs on it. All you need to make sure is you assign enough virtual disc space to accommodate the os and the application programs. I've built 6 machines on one laptop for Jungheinrich, Linde, Steds, Rocla, Hyster and Mitsubishi. The Mitsubishi program, uptime was installed on the host as it doesn't run properly on a VM. I have used both VM and Oracles VB. Both work equally well. As you probably know the issue of license expiry dates can be avoided using VMs. I plan to add another VM for Truckcom if I ever manage to get hold of the keygen for it.
