AnywhereUSB Installation on a VMWare ESX Server Problem The AnywhereUSB drivers do not install on a VMWare ESX Server Cause VMware ESX does not support USB. The USB drivers are not copied to the VMware system by default. The AnywhereUSB device is dependent on the USB core files to properly install. Solution Copy over the usbd.sys file from the original operating system disk into Windows (or winnt) \system32\drivers directory. Reboot your machine. You can then continue with the AWUSB installation as normal.
