Fusion 8.1 cannot start some software

Hi, I use Fusion 8.1.0(3272237) and OSX 10.11.2 on my Mac Pro 5,1


I can boot  Window 10 from physical BootCamp partition, and some software can run perfectly.

But whenever I try running some software(Autodesk Dynamo Studio, Autodesk Maya etc.), I get some errors.

You do not have write access to a partition

I click Allow All, and then get the following Bad file descriptor error

P.S. I have already disabling SIP.


Anyone know a workaround? Thanks.

Hello,

This is an issue with El Capitan and boot camp VMs made by earlier versions of Fusion (Fusion 8.0 here already being an earlier version)

In order to resolve it you have to delete the boot camp VM and recreate it from the bootcamp partition.

Note that this will not delete any data.
