No Application directory

[#1]

I found that I was not getting regular snapshots, not understanding why I inspected the log files. I noted that there were numerous entries stating the /application/ files did not exist. I checked the bundle and found that there is no Application Directory? Can you explain why and how I load an application directory.No Application directory

You must state which VMware product this relates to.

Hi, sorry foolish of me. I am running VMware- fusion 8.1.0 on a MacBook pro High Sierra  with a virtual copy of Win XP. This is just for a legacy genealogy program. The MacBook had been off for some time and when I attempted to load the VMware I received "dev/wmmon" missing? In attempting to resolve this I checked the various logs, there were numerous lines stating that items could not be loaded because files required were in the application folder and it did not exist, checking for the applications folder I was unable to find one.

Update as I have been unable to resolve the missing dev/wmmon I have wiped the MacBook hard drive reinstalled High Sierra and reinstalled VMware and rebuilt the Win XP. I am at present unwilling to fiddle with the VMware files as I need to complete a genealogy project I am working on. I would however appreciate any information as to why I should lose "dev/vmmon"  in the first place and why I would have no Applications folder when VMware seems to need it?
