I downloaded the vmware workstation 15 pro trial and updated at vmware 14 vm.
Attempting to connect, I get
""VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files. Failed to connect pipe to virtual machine: The system cannot find the file specified."
I tried running as admin and reinstalling workstation 15 from scratch but still get the error.
I downgraded the vm to version 14 and installed workstation 14 and was able to load the vm (thankfully).
Any ideas?
Thanks
I was able to resolve the problem by repairing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable
in control panel - uninstall a program.
Please attach the ui log (you can get ui log location from Help > About VMware Workstation 15 Pro > UI log file).
Hi, dm3000:
Based on your log, it show the vmx process can not be launched. Would you mind collect support data for us to continue diagnostic?
Please select the "Windows 10 Demo 2" virtual machine as the "collected data" when the UI ask for.
Thanks your support.
