I can confirm this.
It works with vmware running on win xp sp3, but you have to have the
vm in focus when connecting the freerunner

 I've been developing for Maemo using VMWare successfully because I am
 stuck without a linux machine at present.  The Internet Tablets have a
 Windows flashing tool though, so I've never had to attempt to flash
 from a virtual machine.

 If this isn't an option I'll use a live CD.

 Thanks for any response and good luck to all the other developers out
 there getting ready for the arrival of your freerunners

 I don't have experience of VMWare with a Freerunner, but in my
 experience vmware (windows free version) usb devices can be problematic.
 It's been a while, but I think you need to have the vm in focus when you
 connect the device, and the device should be connect after the vm boots.
 Trivial to try, so please let us know what works.

VMWare Freerunner Flash

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has flashed their Freerunners using VMWare
Player on Windows and if that would even be possible?  Alternatively would
it be possible to use colinux or a similar tool?  I've been developing for

at present.  The Internet Tablets have a Windows flashing tool though, so

Using USB devices attached to the host cmputer usually works. As far as 
i know.

From all my testing on the qtopia sdk would indicate that dfu-util and vmware 
do not play well together.
