I am trying to install NIS 2009 on a Virtual Machine (running Vista Business 64-bit under VMware Workstation 6) but every time I have tried to install NIS 2009, which has now happened on 3 absolutely new and updated OS installs, none of the Norton services start and Error: 8506,430 is returned. I have gone through this incident with Symantec’s tech support folks, 5 of them to be exact, and none of them could resolve the problem. One of the techs even tried installing NIS 2008 and then NIS 2007 on the VM but these wouldn’t work either. I know this isn’t a problem with Vista since the host computer is successfully running NIS 2008 on it under Vista Ultimate 64-bit, so this has something to do with Virtual Machines. I have also successfully installed NIS 2008 and 2009 on XP Pro VMs (not 64-bit) without issue so the problem has also to do with the 64-bit environment. With more and more people and businesses running VMs and desiring to do so in a 64-bit environment, I hope someone out there figures out what is going on here (maybe Symantec… hint, hint) so NIS can be installed in 64-bit VM environments.
