Yesterday I purchased my Workstation Pro 17 / Fusion Pro 13 serial number, and set about installing the former on my WIndows 10 22H2 PC. Installation when smoothly, and after some some jiggery pokery with shared folders, I had my most important VMs up and running smoothly. Or so I thought.
In testing Windows 7 (32-bit), which I use as part of my workflow for legacy applications, and to pass files to/from my MS-DOS 8 VM, I decided to run my favourite pass-the-time game, Chess Titans.
OOPS! Bang, crash, I dialog popped up which I tried to capture with "Print Screen", but could not paste into my Windows 10 environment; the last items on the VMWARE,LOG file before a message about how to contact support, are shown below.
While Chess Titans isn't the be-all and end-all of my VM life, the total (and repeatable) collapse of this application left my VM in a bit of a mess (luckily, I had a recent backup), and in short, for now, I have reverted to Workstation Pro 16.
Who/which dept at VMware would be the best person to send the entire logfile to?
