Where do we put config.ini for Vmware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows 7

64-bitvmware-workstationwindows 7

I am almost certain that even the VMware knowledge base omits denoting exactly where the config.ini is supposed to be for Vmware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows 7 host. Several references to kb.vmware.com are provided by Toan Tran. What am I missing? By the way, I am trying to get rid of the "VMware Workstation has measured your CPU speed to be xxx MHz but Windows reports that it is xxx" message.

@rasx,

I ran across your question while looking for the same thing. I hope you've found the answer otherwise but here is the solution if not. This is for VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7 Pro x64.

1) Close Workstation.

2) Use a command prompt to change directory into: "c:\users\all users\vmware\vmware workstation\" 3) Enter "notepad config.ini"

4) Enter the following 3 lines (cpukHz is true Mhz x1000)
host.cpukHz = "3599000"
host.noTSC = "TRUE"
ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE"

5) Save and exit. Then restart the VMWare Authorization Service.

You shouldn't see the error any more and the guest OS clock should be accurate.
