Why doesn't VMware Workstation support bin/cue audio CD Images, when DOSBox, VirtualBox, 86Box, PCem, QEMU, and other similar platforms do? These are all free virtualizers or emulators. VMware costs $200 for proprietary software that only supports ISO images, not bin/cue CDRWIN images. Why is it that in November 2023, only ISO images are mountable in VMware? I tried using Daemon tools, WinCDEmu, PowerISO Virtual Drive, etc. I CAN mount the bin/cue Images but can't play the audio tracks. Remember. VMware Workstation Pro is a $200 proprietary software. You cannot mount bin/cue images but VirtualBox can. I don't want to switch to VirtualBox, but I have to use a freeware virtualizer to mount bin/cue files, which is unacceptable. Why doesn't VMware Workstation Pro support bin/cue CD images like other virtualizers? Even though it costs $200, it only supports ISO, not the Red Book Format also called bin/cue CDRWIN images. I have tried other software like Daemon Tools, WinCDEmu, and PowerISO Virtual Drive, but none of them worked for playing the audio tracks. I am forced to use a freeware virtualizer to mount bin/cue images, which is very frustrating. Could you please add support for bin/cue files?

Hello, You're right, mine was just a curiosity at the time. Then, if we want to see it in slightly more practical terms, reading the various comments expressed, I doubt you will find an effective remedy to the problem exposed here, other than trying to go back to the immediately previous version.

My browser cannot access that site. Let me rephrase my question: What is the actual download content, is it an application which installs on Linux, an application which installs on Windows, or a pre-configured VM which already contains an OS and the application? Do you have some installation instructions that you have been asked to follow?

It's still 4 for me. But that's not really important, still trying to figure out what is causing this behaviour.

Thanks! I had to use a slightly different PS command to get it re-installed: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Microsoft.Windows.Notepad.System~~~~0.0.1.0 PS says, that it was successfully installed.   But in the end, it didn't change anything. Notepad still can not be started. This is weird...All other Apps are running normally.

Where do you download FSL from, and in what format is the downloaded content?

Hi, fsl is a library of analysis tops for FMRi, MRI and diffusion brain imaging data. It was initially thought for linux but it can now be used also in windows using a virtual machine.

I was able to fix this error You can’t open the application “VMware Fusion Tech Preview” because it may be damaged or incomplete. I copied the app to application folder and installed it from there

Its sort of the same behavior for me. The only thing tgat stops working is input from the mouse/ keyboard. But, the one handled by vmware. If I manually connect the usb mouse to the guest, I can use ot inside the guest. Of course this is a poor workaround... Also, when the vm is dormant, so I dont use any inputs on it, the bug wont appear. So it seems it happens while inputs are activelly used.

I am also seeing this behaviour but I do not have the enhanced keyboard driver installed. It appears to be related to the arrow keys and holding one pressed down for too long after a certain amount of time. The button will remain pressed inside the VM and the VM refuses all other keyboard / mouse input but is not actually locked up. In my case I could ssh into my vm and reboot it, I'm assuming RDP also works on windows VM's.   This behaviour started immediately after the last 17.5.0 update.
