Your supposed issue is a phantom one, as I’ve said several times all you need is the “workstation” version of VMware, not the “server” version since Vista is a workstation O/S. VMware Player is also compatible with Vista 64-bit. But if you’re hell bent on running an incompatible product in an unsupported mode, you can disable several Vista security features such as requiring signed drivers and internal integrity checks, and possibly get it working that way.

My business requirements are 64-bit Vista and VMware Server.
Not Workstation. Not Player. Not ESX. Not GSX.
VMware Server.
Get it through your head that sometimes we, as employees, actually have to follow the business requirements.
Now stay out of this since you obviously can't solve this issue.
