Download VMWare Workstation 11.1.4 Build 3848939

While version 12 has been available for almost a year, VMware has released an update to version 11.1 of its virtualization software Workstation, a bugfix release. With this program it is possible to create one or more virtual computers on which a large number of different operating systems can be installed. That way they can be used side by side, as opposed to a dual boot setup, which requires a choice of one or the other. VMware Workstation is available for Windows and Linux, and a license costs just under 200 euros. More information about the possibilities of this package can be found on this page are being found. Since version 11.1.2, the following issues have been fixed:

The following issues were resolved in version 11.1.4 of VMware Workstation.

• XWayland-based Gnome desktop sessions do not display text in the terminal window
  For an XWayland-based Gnome desktop session, if XWayland is built to use Glamor acceleration, then the XWayland clients do not render fonts. For example, the terminal window does not display text.
• The Windows 2016 guest operating system fails to start when Hyper V is enabled on an AMD system
• DNS names are not resolved in a Windows virtual machine running on an Ubuntu 16.04 host
  When you select a Network Address Translation (NAT) network for a Windows virtual machine running on an Ubuntu 16.04 host, Domain Name System (DNS) names are not properly resolved.

The following issues were resolved in version 11.1.3 of VMware Workstation.

• Installing VMware Tools in a Windows XP SP2 guest causes the guest to crash
  After you install VMware Tools in a Windows XP SP2 guest operating system, the guest crashes with a fatal error message, which might include the error c000021a, due to a memory corruption.
• Starting the ADB daemon in an Ubuntu or Debian guest might cause the Workstation window to become unresponsive
  When you start the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) daemon, such as by executing the adb start-server command, in an Ubuntu or Debian guest operating system and leave the virtual machine running for an hour or more, the Workstation window stops responding.
• After you install VMware Tools on specific Linux virtual machines, attempting to compile the Host-Guest File System (HGFS) module either fails or the compiled module causes a Linux kernel crash
  These issues can occur after you install VMware Tools on a virtual machine under GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 5.x with a Linux kernel 4.x (for example Ubuntu 15.10 and Fedora 22).
  Either of the following issues might occur if you attempt to compile the HGFS module:
  • The process fails and a compilation error appears.
  • The process succeeds, but the compiled vmhgfs module causes a Linux kernel crash.
• When you connect a USB 3.0 device to a 3.0 port of the host, the device might not appear in the removable-devices list
  You encounter this issue after you connect a USB 3.0 device to certain 3.0 ports on the host and then power on the virtual machine. When you select VM > Removable Devices, the device does not appear in the device list.
• On a remote virtual machine, you cannot select certain USB devices from the USB & Bluetooth Settings
  The USB & Bluetooth Settings for a remote virtual machine do not allow you to select USB devices that are not mass-storage devices. The check box for such devices, such as a smart-card device, is grayed out. The result is that you cannot connect USB devices to a remote virtual machine unless they are mass-storage devices.
