vmware fusion 11 crash on application start

vmware fusion 11 on my macOS 10.14.6 does not start. It simply opens for a second before closing itself. 

I have tried reinstalling the software as well. Any help will be appreciated. i have attached the zip of log file at /Library/Logs/VMware

I have been having the same issue how ever I am still not able to get it to work even after leaving it in the state of not responding for a number of hours. I have had this happen multiple times - I have done a clean install and after a few days it will occur again. Any one have any thoughts?

11.5.3 or higher is required for Catalina.

I dont understand right. So you mean that for vmware fusion 11 to work properly I need to upgrade my macos to catalina?

i am using macos mojave (macos 10.14.6) and vmware fusion 11 crashes on startup.

Apologies, I got my versions crossed (thought .14 was catalina).  Fusion 11.0 is the Mojave version (though you should still upgrade to 11.5.7, which is free).

Have you tried a clean install?

 

- drag fusion to trash

- empty trash

- reboot

- empty trash

- reinstall
