Hi, I habe to replace my old hardware.
When I try to install VMware Workstation 12 pro (Version 12.1.1) on Windows 10 64bit v1607 I'm not able install it.
Sometimes it freezes after the the beginning of the installation, sometimes (after a reboot) nothing happens.
On my old Computer Workstation 12 pro v12.1.1 works fine. This was an upgrade vom Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
Originally Workstation was installed under Windows 8.1.
What else can I do to get Workstation installed on my new computer?
Thanks for any reply.
Markus
Can you check event log to see if there are errors? Does your new machine meet the physical requirements?
I checked the physical requriements, there are ok.
Which log-files? I found nothing in the Microsoft eventlogs belonging to my installation problem.
I only found this vminst.log:
