Driver Studio 3.1 + VMWare Workstation 4.0?

Of course I had first made a search on this forum and I had allready read those post but my question was mostly about Visual SoftIce and not Softice...

I wanted to debug my driver on vmware and 'remotely' accessing it with visual softice, because it seemed like the best way to get a nice and confy interface and there seemed to be some nice added features.

Regards,

There is a vmware support article describing problems with running si in a vm:

Wait a minute Butter, you're not suggesting that perhaps zentis should have actually considered looking at the support pages for the programs he is trying to run, are you? That makes WAY too much sense.

Why next thing you know, someone might actually suggest he review the support pages on compuware's site also. NAH. Why try that or even a search engine when one can just ask someone else to do their research for them?

We are simply left to assume that zentis actually read the manual titled "Using Virtual Softice" available on the compuware site and that he actually read the "DriverStudio and SoftICE Driver Suite Installation Guide" and read everything on the VMWare site about using that product with SoftICE, because we have FAITH he wouldn't avoid that responsibility.

Well, thanks butter, but this is for this is for Softice and not Visual Softice,

Softice is a single machine debugger that can also work on two machines remotely while Visual Softice is a two machine only debugger that can only work remotely (like windbg).

The problem I had was trying to make driver Work bench (the host part of DriverStudio) connect to Visual Softice which was installed on my vmware machine but since I never could connect I abandonned.
Especially since there is no reference to Visual SoftIce in the support site of Vmware (only to softice) (nor where there any useful information on the Compuware support page).
And I did read all the parts about remote debugging in the different manuals provided with Driver Studio.

SoftIce on the other hand always ran fine (except that while I never had anyu prob to debug an app I can't get it to debug my driver but that's on another thread), it was just that I wanted to use Visual Softice to get a nice interface full of jumpy windows and not a dull text interface
