Hi all,
I'm at loss with this one - any help appreciated.
Host is Win7. Recently, vmrc just stopped launching. When I click the executable (or my various shortcuts, or right click from a vm->console ), nothing happens.
When I run vmrc.exe from the command line, nothing happens. No dialog, no program launch, nothing.
Looked for any log under the log location folder - nothing at all (i.e. last logs are from when it last worked well).
Tried to: (a) "repair" from program install panel. (b) upgrade to 11.1 (was at 10.x). (c) remove the program completely and install latest again. (d) multiple reboots.
Nothing helps: vmrc.exe just silently exits when launched.
I'd be grateful for any clue that can help me resolve this!

So I have a new clue into this weird problem. I tried to run vmrc.exe with "Run as Administrator".
Lo and behold, it does run (after the inevitable UAC prompt etc.).
So the good news is, I can use it (can even mark the binary as "run as admin", live with the UAC prompt etc.).
BUT this is still as weird as it can be: This definitely worked until recently, without elevated rights (and without the annoying UAC prompt). I can't think of anything relevant that's changed in the local host (well something must have, but I have no idea what that might be).
Any thoughts, anyone?!
