The MSI failed: Service 'VMware Workstation Server' (VMwareHostd) could not be installed

Hi all,

I'm having trouble upgrading to Workstation 10. I'm getting the error: The MSI 'C:\users\blabla\vmwareworkstation_64.msi' failed: Service 'VMware Workstation Server' (VMwareHostd) could not be installed. See:

I am using Administrator account so unsufficient prvileges is not the issue.

How can I solve this issue?

Thank you very much Smiley Happy

Ok, I managed to install Workstation 10 correctly.

Now I have the next problem. I have installed windows 8, but it is horrendously slow sometimes. Also Windows 8 froze down completely during installing of windows updates. It also slowed down my host OS.

Now i've restarted both host and guest OS, and I get these errors every time:

What is going on?? This version of Workstation seems bugged as hell to me.

Edit: I guess my guest OS is completely dead now?
