Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection broken; macOS Catalina Fusion 11.5.1

[Pekd]

Hello

I get the above error when trying to create or start any VM.

Permissions in Preferences -> Security & Privacy seems good; VMware are allowed full disk access and screen recording, accessibility, and Input monitoring.

In the VMware Fusion Service.log I have the following error:

Waiting for vmci kext...

Warning: FusionServicesWaitForKext: CTLIOCGINFO failed: No such file or directory

I've tried a complete removal of VMware, reboot, and reinstallation.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

logs are attached.

I have exactly the same issue. I'm running macOS Catalina and Fusion 11.5.1

In addition to exactly the same errors you posted here in the logs I also have in /var/log/system.log :

Dec 28 18:29:51 i9 VMware Fusion[31494]: assertion failed: 19D49f: libxpc.dylib + 95826 [4EB65320-241F-39E3-8488-05B64C80F1A7]: 0x89

Looks like libxpc.dylib is the real problem here, but that's probably up to vmware to adjust to the changed library in catalina.
