Default Re: vmware workstation settings
just so I understand correctly:

You have an ESXi 5.0 Host.
you have installed a 2008R2 Guest.
Within that 2008R2 Guest, you have installed VMware Workstation
Within Vmware workstation, you're trying to install Xen Server

?

Has the first google result for your error message told you anything?

Well it sounds like it using ESXi where a windows guest is installed. Within that windows guest she installed vmware workstation and within a vmware workstation a XenServer environment.

Exactly.

The link i provided should help the OP achieve this. Why they want to do this though is another matter.
