With VMware Fusion closed then in a Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/) run the following command and then open VMware Fusion see if you can run a Virtual Machine without getting the error.

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/boot.sh --start

Hint: You can copy and paste the command without having to type it.

I had same exact issue.

Tried the terminal command, got all this back, started VM ware, and it fired up as normal! Thanks.
