When I reinstalled vmware workstation pro 17 because it did not work, I could not install it just by agreeing to the contract during installation.
What you may do, is to either completely uninstall the installed version, then reboot the host, and install it again, or to run the installation from an elevated command line.
See e.g. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-F3F1A8B9-D298-4461...
