I have installed VMware Workstation Pro 15.6.6 on a CentOs 7.8 server and when I go to open it up there is clearly a font package missing. Any help woul be appreciated. Install VMware VIX 1.17.0; Add the following lines to C: Program Files (x86) VMware VMware VIX vixwrapper-config.txt for compatibility with VMware Player 15.5 # Player 15.5 player 19 vmdb 15.5.0 Workstation-14.0.0; Launch Setup Wizard within GNS3, enabling GNS3 VM running in VMware Player 15.5; Notice that GNS3 VM fails to get launched by GNS3.
Which Virtualization Software? VirtualBox or VMware?#

The VIX API is a library for writing scripts and programs to manipulate virtual machines. The VIX API allows you to automate.
In this document we will explain the import of the GNS3 VM for VMware, but instructions for VirtualBox are similar (instructions for using the new Hyper-V and KVM versions of the GNS3 VM will be discussed in a separate post).
VMware is a better option because it’s faster and supports nested virtualization (the VMs inside the VM are accelerated by your CPU). The speed difference is important and some VMs will be too slow on VirtualBox* (see note below).
For GNS3 1.3 please read this documentation.
Users running the GNS3 VM in Workstation Player should look at Note 3 at the end of the article, for a fix with WS Player 15.x versions and VIX 1.17
Downloading the VM#
You can obtain the GNS3-VM in several ways. You can download it via https://gns3.com/software/download-vm. Select either the Virtualbox, VMware Workstation/Fusion, or VMware ESXi versions.
These will be .zip archives, so make sure you choose “Save as…” when downloading them, and then extract them for import into your hypervisor of choice.
The second option is to browse to the GNS3 release page on github, where you can download the GNS3 application, the various versions of the GNS3 VM, and the source code from the same section:
Running the VirtualBox version on VMware or the VMware version on VirtualBox will not work
VMware Workstation and VMware ESXi require different GNS3 VM files
VMware Fusion is the marketing name for VMware Workstation on Mac OSX
A third option is to download it via a provided link in the GNS3 Setup Wizard:
When you click that embedded link, it will automatically start downloading the GNS3-VM .zip file from the GNS3 github release page.
In order to see this particular option, you’ll need to choose the “Run modern IOS (IOSv or IOU), ASA, and appliances from non-Cisco manufacturers” option in the Setup Wizard, as shown below, since this indicates that you will want to use the GNS3-VM (the other two indicate either local or remote server use only):
The GNS3 VM has a built in upgrade mechanism so you will not need to download again for every release.

Vmware Vix 1.17
Nested hardware virtualization functionality, and nested paging, were added to Virtualbox starting in version 6.0, but with a caveat: It is currently only available to users with desktops/laptops that have AMD CPUs (such as their recent Ryzen processors). Support for this feature with Intel CPUs has been stated to be forthcoming.
This means that with supported CPUs, it is viable to run the GNS3 VM in Virtualbox 6.x (Virtualbox 6.0.12 was the latest tested, as of this writing). Questions about when Intel CPU h/w virt will be available for Virtualbox should be directed to the Virtualbox support forums only, not the GNS3 forums!

Use of Virtualbox to run the GNS3 VM will be covered in a separate article
Users running the GNS3 VM in WS Player have been reporting issues with the available versions of VIX and Player 15.x. A workaround for the problem is located in this forum thread.
After installing newest VMware Workstation 14, it turned out that the automation API stopped working with the following error
It seems that the newest version does not install two important COM DLL files (and consequently does not register them):
VIXCOM.dll
and VIXCOM64.dll
. The solution is to copy them over from older installation and register them (as administrator):Things start working after this little trick. Alternatively, a full VIX API 1.15 has to be installed (it is available as a separate download from VMware support pages).
The problem has been tackled by our support and is described here
