What processor?

What is your host OS?

What version of Workstation Player?

First, the CPU you’re using is a 2010 CPU https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_Dual-Core/Intel-Pentium%20Dual-Core%20E5800%20AT80571PG0882ML....

requirements to run ws pro 17 require 64 bit cpu 2011 or newer https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-BBD199AA-C346-4334...

you’ll need to install an older version of ws or get a pc with a newer cpu
