VMware Fusion will not launch - Urgent

[mkj123]

I spent over 2 hours and extremely frustrated with this product.

I am a licensed user of vmware fusion 11.5 on mac mojave 10.14

My mac rebooted last night and started this error this morning with series of 4 message boxes below.

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.

Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

Failed to initialize monitor device.

Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken

These errors are nothing new. There are probably one million search results for this error and none of the solutions works.

This program is not blocked for me under security as that was first solution proposed.

So far I have tried to reboot, reinstall, change program permissions, some other hacks found on internet nothing works. I have some urgent work to do on it and I am completely hosed.

(This was working fine until mac was rebooted last night automatically)

I am unable to open a support ticket as this is a corporate license. I am unable to add an existing license key from the portal or open a ticket without it.

So...I finally got it working...here's the solution:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/155109/vmware-fusion-could-not-open-dev-vmmon-error

Run below on mac:

sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm

I have the exact same issue and I have been trying to resolve it for two weeks now.

I'm running OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and Fusion 11.1.1

The complete error message is attached in the screen shot.

I do not have any Security Privacy Issues

Tried the Terminal thing in Recovery mode. Entered: csrutil disable and Terminal responded:

-bash: csrutil: command not found

-bash-3.2#

I've tried this command too: sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm

Any other ideas?
