what is a CTLite VM ?

are you sure your vmnets are working correctly ?
the vmware.log would be useful

[wayneicy]

CTLite vm is a cloud testing product of soasta.

vmware.log is in attached file named vmware-ui-baiwei-3576.log.

there is some error happend, but i don't know what means of it....

[continuum]

you attached the UI-log - please attach the vmware.log from inside the VMs directory

[wayneicy]

oh,sorry,i missunderstand....

i find no file named vmware.log in my workstation8.0.1's path. but i find a file in vm image's directory named vmware ，it is a txt file.

here is the vmware.log which i found.

[continuum · Accepted solution]

see this part of the log:

[msg.cpuid.noLongmodeQuestion] This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
This host is VT-capable, but VT is disabled.                                                                                                   
VT might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.           
(1) Verify that the BIOS settings enable VT and disable 'trusted execution.'                                                                   
(2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS settings have been changed.                                                                   
(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Workstation.                                                          
(4) Update the host's BIOS to the latest version.                                                                                              
For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.                                                                              
Continue without 64-bit support?
