"Installing VMWare Tools" "system cannot find the drive" (upgrader.exe)

Hi!

I am trying to create a Windows 10 Pro virtual machine on an Ubuntu 20.04 Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. It was originally bought with Windows 10 Pro and according to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-L-R-and-SL-series-Laptops/Corrupt-OS-on-IdeaFlex-5/m-p/5094994... the Windows Product Key is encoded in the motherboard.

The VM is created and boots Windows 10, Then after some time I get the error "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\.....\upgrader.exe'.

Behind that pop-up window I can see a Terminal window with the following message:

"Installing VMWare Tools ... Please wait a few seconds.

The system cannot find the drive specified.."

So what do I do?
