参考: Windows Vista RC1 をインストールしたい(vmware player)
まずはこちらから「Windows 7 beta」をダウンロード
$ cd ~ $ mkdir -p vmware/win7beta $ cd vmware/win7beta $ qemu-img create -f vmdk image.vmdk 20G $ vi config.vmx -- #!/usr/bin/vmware config.version = "8" guestOS = "winxppro" memsize = "512" displayName = "Windows 7 beta" svga.maxWidth = "800" svga.maxHeight = "600" floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE" ide0:0.present = "true" ide0:0.fileName = "image.vmdk" ide1:0.present = "true" # CD-ROM #ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect" #ide1:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom" # ISO-IMAGE ide1:0.fileName = "/path/to/7000.0.081212-1400_client_ja-jp_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_JA_DVD.iso" ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image" # Ethernet ethernet0.present = "true" ethernet0.connectionType = "nat" # Sound sound.startConnected = "TRUE" sound.present = "TRUE" sound.virtualDev = "es1371" sound.fileName = "-1" sound.autodetect = "TRUE" -- $ vmplayer config.vmx
後はインストーラの指示に従う。
