I have Vista x32 running as a virtual server under Vmware Fusion. I had been useing it with WHS to back it up for months. Some update to WHS forced an update of the client, now I'm screwed. It uninstalled the old client and the new client won't install with the message, "This operation cannot be completed at this time" or I get the message that it can't find the WHS, even though I have half a dozen drives successfully mapped to the server!
I have tried all sorts of thinge, including running the software from a locanl copy, running it from the Software share, I even connected the notebook up directoy to the router off the cable modem. I have looked at dozens of posts conjured up with Google and Bing! searches - nothing works.
I think it was the Power Pack update that did the dirty deed as all of my backs started failing. The other PCs on my network were able to install the client, even my Vista x64 Home Premium.

Are you able to successfully ping your server from your VM machine, both by name and by IP address? Can you open a command prompt and run
ipconfig /all on the client that doesn't work, one that does work, and the server, then post the results here?
