Installing VMware ESXi 5.1 Update 1 in VMware Workstation 9.0.2

Installing VMware ESXi 5.1 Update 1 in VMware Workstation 9.0.2

Video Tutorials, vSphere
VMware Wosktation allows to run ESXi as virtual machine (virtual environment as virtual machine). It can be very useful to evaluate, experiment and learn vSphere at home.  I will show how easy is to install ESXi 5.1 as virtual machine on VMware Workstation 9. When you run ESXi 5.1 in a VMware Workstation 9 virtual machine you can run virtual machines in that virtualized ESXi-host if your CPU has virtualization support. (You might need to enable it in the BIOS) You will always be able to run 32 bit vm's in the virtual ESXi-host. But running 64 bit virtual machine requires the EPT feature in your Intel-processor (for AMD it's called RVI).

How to Uninstall Windows Internal Database

How to Uninstall Windows Internal Database

Microsoft
It is not usually necessary to uninstall Windows Internal Database, but sometimes you may need to uninstall or remove Windows Internal Database. It is not possible to remove this application with Add or Remove Programs, and it will not be uninstalled. Because multiple applications and services use the same instance of Windows Internal Database, removing these applications and services does not remove the data store. Important: Uninstalling Windows Internal Database is not recommended, because it may affect other applications that may be using the same database instance. To uninstall Windows Internal Database Open a command shell. On 32-bit platforms: msiexec /x {CEB5780F-1A70-44A9-850F-DE6C4F6AA8FB} callerid=ocsetup.exe On 64-bit platforms: msiexec /x {BDD79957-5801-4A2D-B09E-852E7FA64D01} callerid=ocsetup.exe
