Am I banging my head against a wall expecting Workstation 17.5.2 to install vmxnet3 drivers in XP Pro x64? I've tried installing multiple times through VMware Tools and manually and all I get is an Intel/Pro1000 NIC. Are vmxnet3 NICs just not supported in Windows Pro x64?

This is a Windows 11 forum. You're on XP Pro x64? Man, this feels like 2014! :p

@NormanF, nope, not on XP. I am building an XP x64 VM however and need to get a vmxnet3 NIC configured. I'm a 30-year IT nerd and like to tinker. :-)

you should be able to do that in VirtualBox as the VirtualBox extension pack will enable the network card drivers.
i have had WinXP 32bit running in VirtualBox some years ago on Ubuntu 22.04 ..
