Sebkinne Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry that I can't help you, but I had to post as I must have been laughing for a few minutes non stop :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPoF Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How bout installing an *NIX-like system? I also tried to install metasploit on win 7 couple of months ago and it was a real pain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'd strongly suggest getting a VM running Backtrack or some other flavour of Linux installed and running Metasploit in that. It may support windows but it isn't really native or happy there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingUnderTheHill Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Derp, dont know why I didnt think of that! Thanks once again digininja!

digininja Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just install from scratch from a fresh ISO, you don't need a special version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried to convert the VHDs to vmdks lately, but you might check here for Windows 7: http://usgcb.nist.gov/usgcb/microsoft/download_vhd.html Have used things like this in the past for some testing.
