win7 seamless mode, teams, vmware

[Rasta Bude]

Hello,

I try to run Windows 7 in seamless mode at my Qubes. So far everything ist working great. I just have some problems with microsoft teams there. I only see a white screen and cannot login. If I install a normal Windows 7 HVM like in the description without Qubes Windows tools then it is running. Can u tell me what I can try to fix this? It will be good for my work, to run Teams in seamless mode, because then I don't need to copy the file between vm's and else. I even tried it with several Windows7 images, And I am only able to install a seamless Windows 7HVM via qvm-create-windows-qube.sh, because I don't find how to activate the seamless mode in a Winodws 7 HVM. The Quibes documentary is not up to date at this section and said u can do this in the Qubes Manager, but there I cannot find this option.

Maybe there is a working solution via terminal? That will be really great, then I can try to install a fresh win7 hvm with my own Iso, where all the updates are integrated...Maybe this will work.:)

Or ist it possible to run vmware on the qubes fedora or debian template? But I don't think so, because at Debian I always get an error GNU C compiler 6.4.1 not found and at Fedora it install vmware, but while installing it started uninstalling and cannot finish the installation. But if this is possible it will be a solution, too and I am very thankful to hear how to fix that problem.:)

Stay healthy, Best wishes and much thanks for ur support.

I would rather use native Teams client.

However, regarding Win7 seamless mode (to which I am yet to give a try), is there a chance we will ever get rid of that ugly double window decorations? :)

From looking at the create qube script and the batch file it calls, it
appears to do the following to enable seamless mode:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Invisible Things Lab\Qubes Tools\qga" /v
SeamlessMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
