Hi there,
I have been trying to get Vm Workstation to install but have been having some problems.
1st off i had installed Vm player on my PC (Windows 7 x86) V.3.0.1.11056
So i had deleted the VMware program file in c:/ProgramFiles/Vmware but that gave me this error when i tried to install
Vm Workstation
============
Error 1331. Source File not found: C;\Windows\Users\playerUI.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can acess it
==========
Retry/Cancel
==========
I went to an article on the support pages that took me through a complicated process
of weeding out all of the files that Vm Player installed and then restared with the same error.
I also tried to run the Installer as an administrator and with the command prompt with the \c command with no luck either
Note: Vm Player dosent show up in Uninstall\Change programs in the Control Panes so i think i had got most of it.
Any Advice/Help?
If you've deleted it and it's not showing in add/remove maybe try search your registry via regedit and delete any file relatign to it. Obviously only do this if you know what you're doing. i wouldn;t recommend registry cleaneres as these are normally ineffective and most are riddle with spyware/malware

I went through the Registry from the Regedit command and deleted all of the registry values
that relate to Vmware and no luck i get to a new error:
====================
Error 1316 A network error occoured while attempting to read from the file
C:\windows\Installer\vmware player.msi
=================
I investigated the directory and couldn't find thefile mentioned or the Installer folder.
Could this be a Windows Installer error or is it something i did wrong?
Thanks

Fixed used the Windows installer Cleanup and that removed the info that Vmplayer was ever installed
