Hello,
(double-check if you are logged-on with account which has the local admin rights... )
Next I suggest to perform clean boot to eliminate every 3rd-party software which could cause this:

as others mentioned above try to disable UAC see:

Check your permissions in registry
- Open the registry (Start-Run -> regedit);
- Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application
- Right-click on the Application key and select Permissions
- On Security tab verify that SYSTEM, Administrators has Full Control rights
if its correct continue:
- Click on the Advanced button
- Check the Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object
- Open the Owner tab, and verify that Current Owner is set to Administrators group
if not:
- Select Administrators, check Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and press OK
If nothing above works try to cleanup your computer form previous VMware Workstation releases if its applicable see:
