I have no experience with VMWare on Windows.

But on my Mac using Parallels to run Windows (which is comparable to your situation), I made the experience, that running Sikuli inside the VM does not work especially with capture, so the IDE was not usable. But the normal find and click operations seamed to work.

So pls. give more information about the crash.

So you should not minimize the window ;-)

I guess in this case, the "virtual screen" for Sikuli is switched off.

I'm using Sikuli with windows xp on VWware.
It works perfect.
If you want script to continue running when window is minimized try to choose PCoIP connection protocol.

Do you refer to VMware Player or VMware View? I use VWware View with PCoIP protocol to access remote virtual machines (XP and Win7, 32bit and 64 bit) and have no problems at all. Also what is the version of your vmware?

Can you help with this problem?
