I an trying to implement nested virtualization in a vSphere 5.x environment with 2 ESXi 5.0 nodes.
I created a Windows 8 VM, installed VMware Player inside the VM and attempted to run the VM, but I get the message "Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the outer virtual machine to be configured for running a VMware ESX guest operating system. You may not power on a virtual machine until the outer virtual machine is reconfigured.".
I think there is something missing from your description. You created a Windows 8 VM, powered it on, and installed VM player inside the VM. Presumably, you then configured a VM under VMware Player and attempted to run it. What was the VM you configured under VMware Player? ESX?
