@bibibi2020 

I assume you meant 15.5 and 16.1, otherwise you’re using very old versions.

You say Ubuntu 20.04 runs in Workstation 5.5 VM - really ???
I doubt that ....

Why do you think that disabling logging in the vmx-file by setting
logging = FALSE

could be a fix for an error "unable to proceed without log file" ???

Please explain ....
