Group,
I have been working with our IT team and I was able to download the new VMWare; I think that we have a good handle on getting everyone running with VMWare. Use the following link VMWare Download.

Hi Professor,
I couldn’t find the link for VMWare download on this page. Could you please show me the place? Thank you so much.
Andrew Szajlai says
Here are the two links on the Week 1 Update:
To download Windows : Temple Download site

It is towards the bottom of the page.

Got it, thank you!

These aren’t showing up as hyperlinks to me (ust plain text). Can you please confirm that we should be installing Windows 10 on VMWare Workstation 12 or VMWare Workstation 14?
I saw in the other thread that we are not going to be using Windows 7. Do the same instructions apply for windows, update Cygwin, Windows_LinkedPS_Scripts, and PowerShell? Or should we just be installing Windows 10 at this point and we’ll discuss the rest in class?
Andrew Szajlai says
All please send me an e-mail if you can not download. I’ll send it to the person that can fix it for those that are still having issues downloading any of the software.
For the version of Windows, please use Windows 8 or 10. If you would like everything to work as is for the videos, powershell etc. Windows 8.1 version works as all the videos are recorded, just a bit of a different interface. If you would like the challenge as I have always seen, working to get things from documentation to functional. You will get a bigger challenge with Windows 10. I know I have so far. You will not get docked points for the first assignment, it will be where the desktop software is moving.

I have the same problems and I couldn’t download and install anything yet.
