VMWare Question

[SoheilTasharrofi]

Does Anyone can tell me how to freeze the time on VMWare?
I need this, to make renault truck EPC work alongside with other EPCs. Because, you know that Renault requires taking back time.

Thank you all. I would really appreciate this help.

Add in .vmx file this line:
tools.syncTime = "FALSE"

If you are using Microsort Virtual Machine 2007
I know how to stop time sync with the Host PC.
you can set to any date and time will only advance while the VM macine is running. I use it for all my catalogues.

good question - good hint ))) perfect answer!

some notes
FALSE should be written as "FALSE"

and
'time.synchronize.tools.startup' is not a valid integer value

but anyway it works freesing time really

I run these programs using cmd script.
For example,


set date=%date%
set day=%datum:~0,2%
set daynew=26
set mon=%datum:~3,2%
set monnew=05
set year=%datum:~6,4%
set /a yearnew=2008
date %daynew%.%monnew%.%yearnew%
start "OK" /wait "C:\PwrView\PwrView.EXE" /M:001NHFH
REM pause 5 sek.
ping /n 10 localhost >nul
date %day%.%mon%.%year%

Script does the following
Saves current date.
Change date.
Starts program.
After the end of the program is back old date.

By the way friends!

We have discussed time freezing points.
But! I think it is more reasonable to discuss freezing state points.

There are a lot of programs like New Holland Industrial EPC, Ford ECAT, Citroen Service Documentation Backup+Sedre and so on ... that very sensitive to the current system state and time and if something shifts the catalogues stop running ... so one of the way out is to make clean installation, then start catalogue and check it workability and then it would be great to freeze the current state ...

So what you say? Any ideas?

Hello.
tools.remindInstall = "FALSE"
tools.upgrade.policy = "manual"
isolation.tools.hgfs.disable = "TRUE"
logging = "FALSE"
gui.exitOnCLIHLT = "TRUE"
I think that calculate the actual date and stop this time.
Another line whith this data?
It?s very important.
Regards.
