Testing and Deployment

[ryanluis]

When launching the PlayBook simulator in VMWare (I have windows vista home premium) I get the following:

QNX v1.2b Boot Loader: vmware.ifs

Unable to access /dev/hd0

Unable to access /dev/nvram (2)

open(/dev/nvram) failed: No such file or directory

Mount: Can't mount /base (type qnx6)

Mount: possible reason: Invalid argument

sh: /base/scripts/startup.sh: No such file or directory

No files have been quarantined, nor does restart/reinstall fix the issue. If you have seen this before, please help!

Sorry for taking so long to answer, ryanluis. Are you still seeing this? If not, you are very welcome to share your experience!

Which version of the simulator are you running?  Does the simulator end up stop at "Loading Screen"?  Also, what version of VMWare are you running.

Thanks,

Daryl

I have the same problem.  The simulator stops at "sh: /base/scripts/startup.sh: No such file or directory".  

I am using:

VMware-player-4.0.2-591240.exe

BlackBerryPlayBookSimulator-Installer-2.0.0-7109-Win-201201041944.exe

Note:  First time I booted I didn't have this problem and I didn't change any settings.  I tried closing and reopening vmware.

To all,

I did resolve this issue by downloading a prior version of VMware Player. However, my simulator still does not respond when I try to do deploy my application for testing. It gives me the "Target refused" IP address connection error. I receive a series of "request timed out" when I try to ping the simulator as well, so I think it's an IP address issue but the suggested solutions have not worked for me. Any thoughts there?
