Background items added loop bug on Fusion 13

VMware Fusion 13 keeps on adding these launch agents / daemons files on every start and deleting them on every exist

Please fix this bug it's really annoying and it seems like it happened before with older versions

I agree with you that VMware should not be constantly adding and removing these. It’s lazy coding - otherwise they’d have to write a proper uninstaller to remove these as opposed to just dragging the app to the trash. VMware should have installed those items once and left them there, updating them only when needed by upgrades. It’s also not like those services are started  by the system automatically  they are started on demand by Fusion  

I believe Apple is on the path of stopping the system wide Library folders from being modified by applications.

Whats annoying is that VMware knew about this long before Fusion 13.5 was released. I personally had an exchange with their staff during the Tech Preview stage. They decided not to do anything about this despite knowing about it for months.
