After upgrading to VMware workstation 17.5, one of my VMs is hitting this error when I start it.
Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken

The VM is a Windows 2019 server. Other VMs running Windows 10 and Linux don't seem to have this issue.

Looks like it's creating a dump when it fails.

Attaching the log.

@radamstw Unable to reproduce this issue. Please share the OS of the Host machine and share the link from where you got the Windows Server 2019 ISO.

Raised a ticket internally, relevant team will look into it.

@radamstw As we are unable to reproduce this internally, it will be helpful that for the VM where you are seeing this issue, please upload "D:\Virtual Machines\RDASRVR2019\vmware-vmx.dmp" in this thread.
