VMX version of OpenEMM for VMware

Post by **maschoff** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 11:36 am

For those of you looking for the VMX version of OpenEMM 5.3.2:

We tried to upload the big file (about 450 MByte) to SourceForge many, many times (and days) but SourceForge either dropped the connection before the upload was completed or "lost" the file afterwards.

Therefore, we decided to split the big file into serveral smaller files, upload those and explain in this forum thread, how to assemble the split files into the final VMX file again. Stay tuned!

...and the xmlback file in that VMX install is broken.

Does it work when you replace it with the version from the tarball?

That's what I did - working fine now, so obviously the VM is bad.

This problem is fixed with the new RPM file OpenEMM-5.3.2-3.i386.rpm (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=168937). A new VMX version will follow soon.

These might be easier instructions for Windows users:
1)Create a Folder on your drive. If you create in on the root of the C: drive(Say OpenEMM), then copy all of the downloaded files to it, this will make the next steps easier.
2)Open a command prompt (Click Start, Click Run, type "cmd" (type all commands without the quotes), and press enter
3)Type "cd \"
4)Type "cd OpenEMM"
5)Now enter this command: "type OpenEMM-5.3.2-VMX.part* >> OpenEMM-5.3.2-VMX.zip" (The syntax is incorrect in the previous posts. The - and the . are in the wrong places)
6)You should see the files now process .part1 through .part5 and you will have OpenEMM-5.3.2-VMX.zip.
7)Extract the files and run them with the VMWare player as normal.
I haven't gotten to replacing the xmlback file yet, but will be doing that next. If it is still needed, maybe someone could update the instructions. If not, they could still updated the instructions to let people know they can skip downloading the tarball and extracting it.

Thanks, we changed the names of the file names in our description of how to assemble the final zip file.
