Installing upgrade version of XP on VMware

eapro · 12-16-2006, 12:04 AM

I tried installing WinXP on VMware Workstation but it says it has to be a "full' version CD.

I have a valid upgrade version. Is there any way to get around this?

You will need a old version CD like 98 or ME for verification
