Hello, I am a home user. I would like to use Quicken for Windows on my Mac. I recently purchased VMWare Fusion for $149. I did not see the option on the website for the free license for personal use. How do I get a refund of my $149 and use the free version? This company has been very hard to get a hold of. I was unable to initiate a virtual chat - no agents were available. I replied to the email address my order confirmation came from and have received no reply (except an automated acknowledgment). I spent over an hour making calls and navigating the vast automated menu options only to be repeatedly hung up on by the system, often after being placed on hold for 10 minutes to wait for an agent. Supposedly paying $149 gets you 30 days of support, but I sure wouldn't know it.

Okay everybody, after spending two hours trying unsuccessfully to contact someone at VMWare, I figured I might as well take the plunge and try the procedure outlined in that document. I installed all the packages, downloaded the script, and ran it. The script seems to have successfully downloaded all the components, but then it quit with this error: CAB -> ESD: Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-en-us-Package-arm64 Failed to extract Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-en-us-Package-arm64.cab I definitely installed the cab extracting package. Any idea what the problem might be?

Thank you. Reading through that, it looks waaay too complicated for a home user like me. I going to buy Parallels. I can't believe I paid over $100 dollars for Fusion only to be forced to do sysadmin... See more...

Hello all, I installed VMWare Fusion 13 on my M1 Mac (OS Ventura), and then downloaded a Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft. I created a new virtual machine using it, but when I ran it, Fusion said "This virtual machine cannot be powered on because it requires the X86 machine architecture, which is incompatible with this Arm machine architecture host." Did I download the wrong version of Windows? Where can I get the correct one?
