Unable to start "vmGuestLibrary"

Just did a bare-metal restore of a Server 2008R2 machine into VMware workstation and it's working but I notice a ton of event ID 257 and 259's. The exact error is "Unable to start "vmGuestLibrary". Error: "VMware Guest API is not enabled on the host" (3)." Any idea what the cause of this is? VMware tool is installed.
