Check this thread for help Error installing VMware Remote Console plug-in: "failed to install hcmon driver."

From your link:

Starting the MSI from an elevated (Administrative) Powershell window worked for me.  (Per the last post on the other thread you linked to) - on Windows 10.  (I've already installed the vSphere 5.5 thick client & Client Integration Plugin)  I had gotten the UAC popup running it normally, but didn't work.  Elevated launch did.

Hi,

I had the same problem, solved with "Run as" and elevate as admin.

Do you have VMware Workstation already installed on the same client machine? If yes, then you may want to try uninstalling it first and then install VMRC. I know it's not a good solution, but it might be good work around that may unblock you.

"Run as" elevate as Admin is the correct solution

I was also able to get this to work by using a standard command prompt that had been elevated to run as admin.

I fixed it by running the Troubleshooting Compatibility option.  It set it to "Skip Version Check" and it installed correctly on Windows 10.

Thanks. This worked for me.

Stop the "VMware USB Arbitration Service" and "VMware Serial Com Redirection Client Service" before installing then just restart them. No need to reboot (tested on Windows 10 latest build, but shouldn't make any difference). Be sure to have Administrative priviledges.

Hi,

1. Please open powershell console as Administrator

2. Goto your download location

3. Execute .\VMware-VMRC-8.0.1-3747990.msi (in my case)

Good luck,
