Hi! 1. You extracted all the FSL_vm5_32* files in a Windows folder, right? 2. You run VMWare Player, and opened a Machine, right? 3. You chose the file FSL_vm5_32.vmx as your machine (not a new one! But the allready existing one)? ...and after all that this message came? If this is all the case, it seems to be a problem of extraction. Could this be?
