Qa/Testtool WinXP
This article is outdated. This page is intended to help the Windows users to use the Testtool. The info on this page is for Windows XP, but it's useful for most Windows versions. Please, change 'ja' for your ISO language code when needed. Also take into account this info is up to version 2.1.
How to obtain OS
You've to have an Windows license, a install disc and ensure the your license allows you to install it on a virtual machine.
Setup
As the releases tests takes about 15 hours and use the mouse, keyboard or an OpenOffice.org instance can't be used, most people would prefer an alternative way to running the tests in the main box. The common method for Windows is:
- Install the OS inside a virtual machine
Installation of OS inside the Vmware player
You can use the virtual machine you want, but Vmware player is free and is a lot faster than Qemu, so we recommend using Qemu to setup the virtual machine and Vmware player to running it.
The basic steps are:
- creation of HDD image
qemu-img create -f vmdk winXPja.vmdk 10G
- You should have qemu-img on your OS path or run this command in the directory where Qemu is installed.
- creation of winXPja.vmx
- Save the following section as the FC6.vmx file in the same folder in which the image file is located.
config.version = "8" virtualHW.version = "3" displayName = "Windows XP SP2 Japanese" guestOS = "winXPPro" memsize = "256" usb.present = "FALSE" floppy0.present = "FALSE" sound.present = "TRUE" sound.virtualdev = "es1371" ethernet0.present = "TRUE" ethernet0.addressType = "generated" ethernet0.generatedAddress = "" ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0" ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" ide0:0.present = "TRUE" ide0:0.fileName = "winXPja.vmdk" ide0:0.deviceType = "disk" ide0:0.startConnected = "TRUE" ide0:0.redo = "" ide1:0.present = "TRUE" ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect" ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw" ide1:1.present = "TRUE" ide1:1.fileName = "auto detect" ide1:1.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"
- follow instruction of p.37 of Guest OS installation guide
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/GuestOS_guide.pdf http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/player_pubs.html I allocated Y: for iso image mount drive at the host OS, thus this is 2nd CD/DVD-ROM drive. So, to boot Win XP Pro install program from CD-ROM image via daemon tool, I disconnected 1st CD-ROM at boot time when the vmware player started. Otherwise winXP Pro installation program doesn't boot.
- installation of vmware tools
Get windows.iso from vmware server, mount windows.iso via daemon tool, and install.
Update the OS
- Activation.
- via Windows update, updated to up to date Windows XP SP2.
Some miscellaneous settings
We should not move mouse during this test. Screensaver is also harmful, activate sleep mode is very harmful.
