Has anyone been able install Windows 8 on vmware esxi 5? When I create a new virtual machine I set the settings for a Windows 7 PC. But when I boot from the dvd or iso image it disconnects and shuts down the virtual machine after it loads the installation files. (right after it boots from the dvd)

Use Windows 7, windows 8 doesn't support WPDM at the moment
Ok, thanks, but i still like using windows 8
So windows 8.1 has rolled out, I read from windows page that once we upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, all windows apps have to be re-install. So does this mean those apps have to be re-download? Or windows 8 leaves those .appx somewhere and it can be install without having to download again? I have a couple of apps which is over 1GB on my laptop and to re-download all those files is a pain... Thanks for your reply.
I know its only for y place!
But i have no way,because this place very familiar to me.
I wanted to started sgy developing.
But at my windows 8 based laptop ,i faced some problem!

When I Buy laptop In windows Store always show Windows 8.1 update avalivable.
for this i need to some update in driver or other thing like 1.5 gb
bt when i complete all update ,from windows store windows 8.1 update vanish.
I searched about this problem,bt now windows say it has nt edition they dnt sure automatic update!
So,now i how to update automatically.
and why they show me update 1st time.
If you had Windows 8, is there a update in Store "Windows 8.1" I have 1, 2 GB ( x32) and 1,5 (X64) its normal OS update. What error you got ? And what Windows 8 version do you use ?

What windows r u using now ? I use windows 8 but there's no auto update
to upgrade windows 8 to 8.1 you will need to first download all updates for windows 8 - This could be up to 3gb worth of updates which can be downloaded from the windows update and recovery section in pc settings
once all updates have been installed and the computer restarted to finish installation process you can then update windows 8.1 from the windows store
if it does not show either you havent installed the required updates or theres some other problem
Please note the following windows 8 do NOT support upgrade
Windows 8 Pro, if installed by an organisation or a program that uses Volume Licensing. Talk to your system admin, or the administrator of the program that was used to install Windows 8. If you’re the administrator, you can find more info and links to Windows 8.1 ISOs in the Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation.
Windows 8 Pro, if installed using an MSDN or TechNet ISO, and activated using Multiple Activation Keys. You might be able to download a Windows 8.1 ISO from MSDN or TechNet.

When i bought my laptop it did have Windows 7 on it. But i did have a option to bye Windows 8 cheap with a promotioncode. Sow i buyed Windows 8. But only this year i found out its a upgrade disk... Bummer. Well never likked Windows 8 much after trying testversion and seeing the final product. It made me think of Viste. (Not finnist) Never mind... I did not like the sow called Metro menu at that time. I dont like the way the settings work. Its not like i used to.
But i wanted to do somthing with this useless Windows 8 update disk. Windows 8.1 is a free update to Windows 8 users/byers. Sow i looked into some options to get Windows 8.1 with updates.. But no option i really liked. (Dont like putting in a ligit code after install. Ore running updates) What i did not want is install the Windows 8 upgrade on my Windows 7 laptop. Windows 7 works just fine. I could have made some image *.wim from the finall install.
Sow let me finally tell now what to do with the upgrade disk image. Dont use it. Its that simple! Get a Windows 8.1 with update from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media The image will take a Windows 8 key. Thats what i wanted!!! Normally you would have to install Windows 8.1 with some default key form MS and put in the bought key after install (When using the key from the Windows 8 upgrade disk). That suck.
Well happy installing Windows 8.1 with update1 using you're Windows 8 key. That's my point haha.
Well thats not all for me. I wanted to install Windows 8.1 for a usb stick and with out to many clicks. Sow i did look into some programs like Nlite (XP) Vlite and sow on. Than i found https://www.ntlite.com/ from the same maker of Nlite and Vlite! The program Ntlite works great. Not like Nlite but still great. The build image can be tested with a program like wm player.
Sow in the and i put my Windows 8.1 on my minipc. (Conected to the tv) Windows 8.1 is just great for playing some music and movies. (I hope i can reinstall sometime with some Windows 8 driverpack by the way)
