I’ve installed the following on a VMWare Player virtual machine:

  • Windows 8 Consumer Preview (x86)
  • Visual Studio 11 Beta Professional (from ISO image), from MSDN

I haven’t installed anything else on the VM. The account I’ve logged in is a Windows Live account.

After starting Visual Studio, I get the following error (not immediately after startup, but soon after):

After that, when I try to create a new project I get the following error message:

enter image description here

Note that I’ve tried to make it as clean install as possible.
I have checked the SHA-1 checksums of the ISO-files. They match.
There is enough memory and HDD space.

UPDATE: It is worth to mention that both the Windows 8 and Visual Studio setups ran fine without any errors.

    I could not solve this problem. Instead I installed the same setup on actual PC and everything works pretty much ok. Conclusion: the configuration is not compatible with VMWare Player.
