Installing on VMWare Workstation
First obtain the image from here (I went with Sonic1.img.gz)
Look up the version you need for your operating system
You will need to extract the image. On Windows I recommend using 7-zip
Windows: Download here Linux: Look up qemu-img in your distros package manager
.\qemu-img.exe convert -O vmdk sonic1.img sonic1.vmdk
This assumes there in the same directory
Open VMWare and press File then New Virtual Machine
Click Custom then press next you don't have to change hardware compatability.
Click I will install the operating system later. Then press next
Choose the Guest operating system as Windows 7. Press next then name it whatever you like.
For firmware keep it as BIOS, for processor set Number of processors to 1 and Number of cores to 2, set the memory to as much as you want, use NAT as network choose LSI Logic SAS, press next and set the virtual disk type to sata.
For select a disk press Use an Existing virtual disk then press next, click browse and search for your disk, press next then press finish.
Now you can start your VM.
Download this version
If you are in the Sonic account press VM then send ctrl-alt-delete then press logoff and login to the admin account.
once you are logged in insert the VMWare tools iso you downloaded and run setup (not setup64) then proceed with the vmware tools setup.
That's it you are now done with installing the Sonic Kiosk image on VMWare
