It is killing me with VMware workstaion running on Vista. I have never had any problem running on XP. Here you go.....
First, I installed 5.5 on Vista and got me some error, i tried to uninstall it but never success. I gave up and bought the latest version 6.x and ran with command /c at the dos prompt to try to clean up the previous version. It went ok. I started new installation with 6.x but stop in the middle of installation saying something Process is running with ID: 3xxx. I had to skip it to continue but before its finish. Vista gave me BSOD. I had to restart the machine and VMware 6,x already installed and seems running fine. However, when I install or uninstall any applications (It did that Three times already), it uninstalled VMware 6.x sliently and return to version 5.5. I have started again from the very begining every single time. Anyone ever seemed that before and is anyway to fix it?
Thanks.
Anyone knows?
In fact, It just did it again this morning sliently. I installed Visio and launch VMware 6.0 after that. It roll back to previous verions of 5.5.

Sounds like you need to cleanup the hard way.
