VMware refuses to install

[goriathFX]

Hi everyone,

I downloaded VMware 5.0.2.1031769. After I press enter on the installing package all I get is the setup stuck at this window:

And nothing else.
Tried many times with no luck.

I tried even with 4.0.5.89893925 but with the same issue. Every time I have to invoke task manager and terminate the setup.

Host machine is equipped with an AMD64 3000+ @2GHz, 1GB RAM DDR400 under WindowsXP Professional SP3 (x86).

What's wrong?

Welcome to the Community,

please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1027986 to see whether this solves the issue. This is often caused by a wrong registry entry for the Internet Zones.

Nice hint André.

I tried to register again the dlls but everytime is needed something goes wrong and I can't success.

I tried to follow the others suggestions instead; in particular I had to delete a folder with a special character in the name, after that the setup has installed VMware Player flawlessly.

Thank you for your kind support.
