    I am trying to run vmware Workstation 10 inside Parallels 9 for Mac.
    I am running into an issue where my vm won't start. The error message Workstation is given me is:
    "You are running VMware Workstation through an incompatible hypervisor. You cannot power on a virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled."

    Anyone has a workaround to suggest?

    Thank you,

    I've been trying it too. not looking to good. Seems VMWARE doesn't support nested VM's from Parallels. Still trying though....

    To fix this, edit your .vmx file and add

    vmx.allowNested = TRUE
