VMware Installation Problems

I'm having a few issues installing VMware and wondering if anyone could help me with it.

I downloaded the latest player but when I opened the exe file, the installation window didn't initialize properly. All that was there was a grey box.

I thought downloading an older VMware player would be a solution but I got the same problem. I'm running on windows 7 if its necessary info.

I've attached a screenshot of what the installation window looks like. Any help would be appreciated.

Dlow,

Have you tried to run the exe file as administrator? Or maybe tried a different compatibility mode before running the .exe?

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I've run it both as administrator and a different compatability mode. The installation window stays grey.
