I am required to export a VM from a .vmx file to an OVF/OVA file for distribution to our customer.  The VM is configured with two sockets and two cores per CPU, for a total of four logical cores (2x2).  When the customer then re-imports from an OVA to a VMX, the configuration changes to four sockets with one core per CPU (4x1).  The guest OS is Windows 10 x86_64 Pro, which does not support four sockets. How can I ensure that the two socket, two core setting survives the translation to and from OVF?

Second follow-up: I found the installer we used for the previous version, called `VMware-workstation-full-15.1.0-13591040.exe`.  I uninstalled 15.5, disabling the options to remove license and configuration information, and then re-installed using the old installer.  The VIX API is now working again.

Follow-up: I installed a trial of VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5 on a clean Windows 10 Professional machine (i.e. never had any vmware products installed).  The same exact problem happens there.
