I updated my Mac OS with Catalina.  Now my version of Fusion (6) did not work. I downloaded 11.15.1.  When I click on it, it will not allow me to open XP professionals windows, indicating it cannot find valid peer process to connect to.  I need to access XP windows because my quicken program is located there. I am requesting assistance. Thank you.

Try this...

  1. Open System Preferences by searching in Spotlight or clicking the gear icon in the dock.
  2. On the top row there is an icon for Security and Privacy - Click that icon
  3. Near the bottom of the screen you may see the following statement - If so, you need to change it to "Allow"

System software from developer "VMWare, Inc." was blocked from loading
