We currently recommend installing VcXsrv - this will install an application called XLaunch. On Windows 10, you need to install a separate application in order to use the FSL user interfaces. Sudo apt-get install dc python mesa-utils gedit pulseaudio libquadmath0 libgtk2.0-0 firefox libgomp1Ģ. Copy+paste these commands into the Ubuntu shell to install a few FSL dependencies: Now follow these steps to install FSL into your Ubuntu machine:ġ. Set up a username and password for Ubuntu (only necessary the first time you launch it) Start the "Ubuntu" app to open an Ubuntu shell.Ĥ. Enable WSL by opening PowerShell as administrator. Minimum 10GB, up to 75GB, of free disk spaceįollow these steps to install Ubuntu into the Windows Subsystem for Linux:ġ.If you are using an older version of Windows and cannot upgrade, refer to this page for installation instructions. The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) can be installed by following these instructions. You can find out your Windows version / build by opening the Settings app, and navigating to System > About. You need to have Windows 10 version 2004 (Build 19041) or higher. We have created an installation video which gives an overview of the installation procedure for the Windows Subsystem for Linux using Windows 10. This is the recommended option for using FSL on a Windows computer.

However FSL can be used on Windows via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, Windows 10 and newer, recommended option) or by running the Linux version of FSL inside a virtual machine (VM). Windows Vista will then re-evaluate your virtual PC performace and you should get around 5.We recommend using Linux or macOS for using FSL. Now, in rebooted Vista: click on Start -> type "System" -> your graphical score determined by Windows is stuck on 1.0 points, so click on "Change settings". Open File Explorer on your virtualized Vista and look at the files on the VMware Tools ISO (don’t start it through Windows autorun menu, this can cause an error)Ĭlick on setup64 on that ISO and let it install, then reboot the virtual machine Right click on your virtual machine->Removable devices-> then put ISO with VMware Tools into virtual CD/DVD mechanics (there is also an "Install tools" option in the menu, but don’t use this in our situation!) Install Windows Vista 64bit (you can use "easy install" from VMware, doesn’t matter)ĭownload VMware Tools 11.0.6 (this is the last version which officially supports Vista) Launch VMware Workstation (I used the Pro version, but it should work on Player too)Ĭreate new virtual machine in VMware 10.x compatibility modeĮnable option "accelerate 3D graphics" in the virtual machine settings After some tinkering with VMware Workstation Pro, I found out the way to make Windows Vista + Aero work (even with WSL2 on the host enabled!):
