VMWare: Memory release on suspend

I faced a similar issue outlined in this thread on the VMWare site.

It was talking more than 20 mins to release 12GB of memory after the suspend process completed and no programs were responding.

I updaed my config.ini file (C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation) with the following settings as per @continuum's reply on the thread.

mainMem.writeZeros = "TRUE"
mainmem.useNamedFile = "false"

This did the trick with memory released in a flash.

I faced the below error whilst installing SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2012, I did run pre-requisites tool before the installation.
















I cross checked the features under the Server Manager for .NET framework 4.5, which was installed.
