"Unable to connect to the MKS: Internal error." with a shared virtual machine.

Hi.

VMware Workstation 10.0.1 build-1379776

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1

Trying to power on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit virtual machine produces the following error:

Unable to connect to the MKS: Internal error.

Attached vmware.log.

If I manually change the CD\DVD to use Local (Single Session) and point it to the full path of the ISO file (instead of "[standard] win7x64.iso") then I do not get this error and the virtual machine is able to power on.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi

Welcome to the communities.

Is port 903 and 902  is not open, If yes then run below command.

vmauthd.server.alwaysProxy = "TRUE"

Hi,

Are you accessing the cd/dvd of the remote server or the client from where you are accessing the virtual machine?

For me it worked when using the remote server drive.
