Can't start VM - vmx file contain log data?!

Hello,

I can't start my VM. When I check the .vmx config file I see this:

Looks like a log for me. Why is it in the vmx file? Make no sense for me. And I am pretty sure this is why my vm do not start. What can I do? Problem is also that the vm was encrypted and normally the vmx file contain data for the encryption.

First, your thread needs to be moved to the area of the Communities for Workstation, the {code} area is for SDKs.

I see you couldn’t wait so created a duplicate anyway, so I have now reported this thread for a second time.

In case you didn’t realise, the moderators are volunteers helping in their own time.
