Hi, I have an issue on my hands. I've been using VMware since June 2018 with Workstation 14. Then I upgraded to Workstation 15. A few months after that, I upgraded from Windows 10 version 1803 to 1809 (April 2018 Update to October 2018 Update) I just recently factory-reset my computer due to issues with VMware speed and issues with my computer. It now runs nicely, but I tried to install Workstation Pro 15 on it. I wait a few minutes and I get an error that says "The Microsoft Runtime DLL has failed to install. Setup cannot continue" or something similar to that. Please help me I use VMware on a daily basis and I do not want to use VirtualBox (I used VirtualBox in the past and it was an awful experince) If someone can answer this soon that would be great. Thanks!
Welcome to the Community,
please check whether "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributale" is installed.
If so, go to Add and Remove Programs and run Repair.

Thank you, I got everything to work just fine, with Workstation 14, except for one other issue

Make sure your temp directory exists and has the correct permissions. Go to a command prompt and type:
Set t
Look for "TEMP=" and "TMP=" folder locations. Make sure they exist and that you have full access permissions to them.
