All that was needed was to run the comand that was posted by MadarMS. I didn't reinstall anything...just add to add backslashes to the command.

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/boot.sh --restart

I got the log info below, then quit and reloaded VMware and it worked fine.

Multiple VMware Fusion Versions are Installed

It is possible you may have 2 copies of VMware Fusion installed. I was trying to launch a newly created VM and running into the same problems as you all have been experiencing. I had 1.1.3 installed and then installed the 2.x upgrade for free and didn't realize that the old app launcher for 1.x was referenced by my doc and where I'd saved a copy under Utilities.

If you've installed 2.x as well check under the menu bar VMware Fusion > About VMware Fusion. If it shows any older version you'll need to close that app instance and find the newly installed app.

Another quick tell for version is by the Library's GUI. The the new one for 2.x has the VMs listed down the left side with a preview pane on the right. The OLD 1.x interface just has a window with list of VMs.

Once I started using the correct launcher everything is running fine.


Alternate Permission Repair (built-in OS & no need to boot from Mac Install DVD)

If you are unsure about permission on your disk you can even run the repair with out rebooting from the Mac OS. Simply launch the Disk Utility, select the HDD that you wish to check, ensure the "First Aid" tab is selected (Tab bar reads the following selectors: First Aid | Erase | RAID | Restore) and then click the button "verify disk permission" . Once that is finished you can choose the "Repair Disk Permissions" button if there were any issues found that might be the problem. (Note: you do not have to verify first and can skip straight to the repair as the button is not Grayed out.)

I hope either of these help. Good luck.

Hello

I have solved this issue this way.

create a new machine.

just enter credentials without installation

open the paket and locate the *.vmx file

open your *.vmx file and take a look at the Hardwareversion third line (remember the number)

take a look at the same place in your own vm-session-file

replace the number in the *.vmx file withe that one generated in the first test file.

That resolved my problem

greetings
