I just installed vmware after erasing my bootcamp drive, hoping to make it larger. Bootcamp assistant couldn't create a new larger partition, so I opted to run vmware virtually.
Everything went ok, including the installl of 4.5.0.93 for my Curve 8320. But the 4.5 installshieldwizard is frozen on the vmware xp. I can't cancel, if I suspend vmware it comes back, and I can't restart or shut down Windows. I can't shut down the Mac because vmware won't quit, and I just came back from the dentist and my face is numb.
A little help would be appreciated.

edit: I did a (not recommended) shutdown by holding the power button on my iMac. Even force quit wouldn't work. Vmware seems very nice though. So long bootcamp.

Try to reboot your VM.

Always remember that VMware is emulating a whole PC. So if you are in your VM everything acts like a normal PC. This also applies to Windows which wants to be restarted from time to time

I had the same issue last night on my iMac with VMWare when I was updating my Bold OS and I ended up powering off the iMac and no issues since.
