Installing VMWare Workstation on Vista Ultimate Build 6002

[Ty1on]

Can't install VMWare Workstation version 7.1 on my Vista, Build 6002 desktop.

Receive the following message, Error 1935. An error occurred during the

installation of assembly component {9DA4DC8A-9731-3F03-8BD5-FC17CA6848AD}.

HRESULT: 0x80070002.

The installation process almost completes and soon as the status changes to Configuring Eclipse C/C++Plugin, the installation is aborted.

I've tried the solutions offered in other VMWare discussion threads, unfortunately I recieve the same outcome during installation.

Any and all help is appreciated.

do you need the Eclipse plugin ?

does it work if you disable it at the start of the setup ?

I may need the Eclipse plugin. You mentioned disable, I'm not sure what needs to be disabled? The installation process didn't allow for user interaction after a few NEXT selections.

Hmm - i usually disable that during setup

The installation did not include the Eclipse C/C++ however I recieved the same error message. See attached. This error 1935 is consistent and unforgiving. Wondering how I get this app installed. I contacted VMWare Support and they say that it's a Microsoft issue and that the resolution resides with Microsoft. I disagree given the fact I purchased this software from VMWare.

Once again, any assistance is appreciated.

please open regedit during the setup - does it list HKLM\COMPONENTS ?

If not it may help to load that hive manually before starting the setup.

You can find the hive in ...system32\config\COMPONENTS

Regedit does contain the HKLM\Components Hive. Still receive the error. I may need to open up a support call with VMware.
