If you are running Windows Vista or above on a non-English host
operating system, and attempting to update Player fails after
granting UAC access, please try replacing vmUpdateLauncher.exe in
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Player with the attached
vmUpdateLauncher.exe.
The problem affects beta and RC and will not
be properly released until later.
You can tell if you have the
problem if the update does not work by checking Task Manager. If
vmUpdateLauncher.exe is eating 100% of your CPU, you are experiencing
this problem. If not, it may be something else.
Thank you for
trying out the beta!
