Hi everybody, I was triyng to installa VMware Workstation 6.5 on a
Virtual Machine installed on VMware ESX 3.5. When I run the setup it
appears: sorry this product cannot be installed inside a virtual
machine.
How can install it anyway?
Thanks a lot.

Because I want to run two WMware ESX for test and my laptop doesn't
have enough ram. So I wat thinking about run two Worstations with one
ESX each one...

If you want to test two instances of ESX each with its own set of VMs I'm
afraid you need two servers to run them on. You can't nest virtualisation
technologies.

even if you could it would be slow as sh1t.

what you want is your base box to be xp, with vmware workstation.
and have to virtual esx test boxes.
