Windows Whistler 2296 VMware Tools Setup.exe error

Post by WindowsCollector2000 »

Hey BetaArchive,

I'm having a problem with Whistler, (NOT A BSOD) I get this setup error

Code: Select all

D:\setup.exe

Windows was not able to process the application binding
information.
Please refer to your System Event Log for further information.
Please Help!

Pre-Whistler 2428 builds are underrated tbh

if I remember correctly, that's to do with the lack of, or presence of, a manifest.

If that's that, then how am I supposed to raise the display settings to 1920 x 1080?

Well, if I was you, then I would just stick with the highest display settings I can use, that is below 1920 x 1080

I once tried to do 800 x 600, but immediately switched to 640 x 480.
I did highest, but still 2 options: 640 x 480 & 800 x 640.

I am not sure then, I never really ran in to this issue with the build, if i can remember

EDIT: I use VPC 2007 for Whistler, 2000, NT4, Longhorn, etc. as usual (QEMU Manager if a build wont work)

I ran into this with Longhorn(VBox Only) and Whistler (2296).
I use VMware Workstation 12 Player (Like usual)
