My VmWare Fusion Image with MAC OS X High Sierra does not boot anymore

I installed an update and after that it won't boot again. There is no error message, the progress bar just stops and the screen goes back to the start screen. 

i tried rebooting with "debug" but still there is not much to see.

There is a log file in the package, I scanned for "Fail" this is the result:

Does not really makes sense to me.

Anybody who knows more?

Thanks

Please do not paste random snippets of the vmware.log - they dont help.

Attach the full vmware.log instead.
