VMware Fusion: Reinstalling Windows in Bootcamp

My Windows 7 RC installation has expired, sadly. I had it installed in a Boot Camp partition and was using it in VMware Fusion as well. After reinstalling my licensed version of Vista (sad face), I discovered that VMware Fusion no longer works. Not surprising really, but how to fix? The answer, as it turns out, is pretty straightforward:

  • Make sure VMware Fusion is shut down.
  • In Finder, navigate to /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/
  • Delete the Boot Camp and Helper folders

The next time you start up VMware Fusion, you’ll be able to set up your Boot Camp partition again. Easy!
