Does NeXpose run on VMware?
NeXpose will run, and is supported, when installed on a properly configured VMware environment. Rapid7 does not support the installation or configuration of the VMware environment. This is due to the complicated setup process of VMware itself and actually establishing a optimum operating conditions. In VMware, we have seen the first run of NeXpose (which includes downloading updates and compiling databases) take up to an hour depending on how VMware is set up. If you are not experienced with VMware, we highly recommend installing on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, or Linux.
