Hi all,
I've spent several hours with frustration on trying to get Vmware Pro installed with absolutely no luck. Hoping I can get some help in the community.
I originally installed (with success) Workstation Player 15.5. I then realized, it only supported one virtual machine, so I no longer need it. Instead, I require Workstation Pro 15.5.
I tried to uninstall Workstation Player, but I've had no luck in doing so. I also tried installing Workstation Pro, and it also wont install. Both the uninstallation or Player and installation of Pro give the same error messages:
Pop Up: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
The error in my windows 10 logs is:
Product: VMware Player -- Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action WixSchedFirewallExceptionsUninstall, entry: SchedFirewallExceptionsUninstall, library: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI4EB.tmp
I tried rebooting, disabling my fw, running as admin, I don't see any vm services running, I tried to run the /c clean installation of the package to uninstall, etc etc. I've searched and tried all of the methods read online with no luck thus far.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can uninstall player and install pro?
Thanks
