Workstation Pro doesn't work on Windows 10 N Editions

Hi,

Workstation Pro doesn't work on Windows 10 N Editions. I'm getting strange errors about:

"Error vmware-vmx.exe ResampleDmo.DLL"

and then

"VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files."

Looks like a missing media file not included in the N version by default. Adding that should fix the first at least and we can hope that it gets VMWare Workstation rolling as intended for you.

Yes! Installing media feature pack fixed the issue! 

Can the next version of the installer check and install this via Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature ?
