vmware workstation hyper-v unsupported

Installing Hyper-V Role in VMware Workstation; error Hyper-V cannot be installed: A hypervisor is already running





  1. Shut down the virtual machine.
  2. Open the VM’s .VDX configuration file from the VM’s working directory.
  3. Add the following three new entries to the .VDX configuration
  4. In the last line we will add this code and save it:
  5. After that edit the setting on VM from vmware workstation select Processors and check the 
              Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI.
              Virtualize CPU Performance counters.


hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”

This option tricks the Windows Server 2012 into “thinking” it is not running in a virtualized instance

mce.enable = “TRUE”

This option enables Machine Check Exception (MCE), which enable the Windows Server 2012 VM to report CPU hardware issues

vhv.enable = “TRUE”  This option enables nested virtualization.




Now the configurations is done, now Power on this virtual machine and install Hyper-V Role.
