VMWare Workstation Install Fails on Windows 7
Are you having problems installing VMWare Workstation on a Windows 7 Host? If so, I found a very simple solution. I was getting the folloing error message during the installation process, ”The MSI fails … vmware-workstation.exe … “.
- 1) Double click on the installer, it will begin to copy some files to a directory called
vmware_******. Stop there, and don’t install or click on anything. - 2) Go to the directory located at:
C:\Users\mylogin\AppData\Local\Temp\. - 3) Make a duplicate or copy of the directory.
- 4) Cancel the instaler.
- 5) Return to the directory metioned in #2 and double click on “vmware workstation”.
- 6) Wait for the installation to complete.
