VM Workstation installation hangs at the "Installing virtual networks drivers"

Hello 

I am trying to install VMware Workstation 16

The installation hangs while "Installing virtual networks drivers"

After some minutes installation ends, but all Network funcionalities don't work

In Windows Device setting, 2 virtual cards are defined (VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1 and VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8)  but both in error (exclamative point !) ("This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31). The device is pending further configuration.)

I tried to come back to old versions of VM Workstation but problem is not solved

Could you help me ? 

Thank you
