Complete and utter removal of all vmware files, and then re-installation solved the problem. I didn't realize how much data was not removed when uninstalling. Thank you so much for your suggestion.  I didn't think a .1 upgrade would require so much intervention.

Starting VMware Workstation Server manually results in: Windows could not start the VMware Workstation Server on Local Computer.  [blah blah] service-specifc error code -1. The event log simply states: The VMware Workstation Server service entered the running state. The VMware Workstation Server service entered the stopped state. The VMware Workstation Server service terminated with service-specific error %%-1.

Everything was fine until I made the mistake of upgrading to 12.1.1 build-3770994 from 12.0(?) For some reason sharing became disabled after the upgrade. I can't enable sharing, I get "Failed to configure the Workstation Server" Seems everytime I upgrade VMWare Workstation something breaks :smileycry: I had to moce the shared VMs to "normal" VMs so I could run them. I've repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still have the same failure. :smileyangry:
