VMWARE: For installing Visual Studio 2010 and connecting to it remotely?

Question

I am trying to find a solution for installing Visual Studio 2010 (VMWARE) and connecting to it remotely so that both i can use the pc and the receiver can monitor what i am doing.

There seems to be so many different solutions for VMWARE and i am little of which will work.

It would be ideal if it was free of charge, i notice the "VMWARE PLAYER" is - but i think is only to run virtual machines???

If anybody has had any success of running VMWARE with visual studio 2010 i would look to hear your comments or any advice

Thanks

EDIT

TO clarify, i am looking to run visual studio 2010 in VM.

Answer 1

In order to run VS2010 in VM you will need:

1. VMWare Server 2.0
2. Licenced operating system
3. VS2010

Follow those steps:

1. Install VMWare server on the physical host
2. Create a new virtual machine
3. Install operating system on your virtual machine
4. Install VS2010 + any other software you need for development
5. Connect your VM to internet so it can be connected to from internet (open necessary firewall ports)

On a side note: why do you want the receiver to have access to your development environment in the first place? Won't it suffice to give him access to your deliverables only? If you are developing a web site - publish it and give him access. For desktop apps give him the link to a site where you can dump your nightly builds...
