I'm wondering if it will be possible to install vmware server on a hyper-v image?

Currently I get an error when trying to install.

Setup cannot continue becuase microsofts hyper-v is being used. Please disable it, reboot and start the VMWare Server installation again.

    Why? (this is almost universally a bad idea...) – voretaq7 Mar 25 '10 at 20:10
  • "Image" is a bit unclear. I'm guessing youre asking: I'm wondering if it will be possible to install vmware server on a windows computer that has the Hyper-V role installed?" – Trondh Aug 21 '13 at 20:16

You can try doing it using this workaround. I've never tried it myself.

Newer versions of VMware Workstation and Server check wether Hyper-V is enabled on the computer you're installing on. Simply remove the Hyper-V feature before installing VMware. The reason they do this is that only one hypervisor is allowed "at a time" (which is not a Microsoft or VMware problem, it's just the way the arcitecture is).
