I was able to install VMware Workstation 9, .net framework 4.5 plus all other sharepoint prerequisites, and sharepoint 2010 ent sp1. I am running Windows 7. When I try to install VS from within the Virtual application or from Windows Explorer, or Run (all as Admin) I get:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012
The specified program requires a newer version of Windows.
I checked the prereq and 7 is supposed to work. I also have VS installed locally and it runs there with Win 7. I have looked all over the place and cannot find instructions on how to properly implement VS Pro 2012 in my VMware workstation environment.
Any help would be appreciated.
