Workstation 10 fails installation

Getting the following error when trying to install Workstation 10:

Failed to open file: C:\ProgramData\VMWare\VMWare Workstation\Uninstaller\uninstall.exe, error 1224

I did a full uninstall of Workstation 9 before installing 10.

I went back and cleared all VMWare folders.

Reinstalled 9 Workstation then ran the installer with the /clean switch to be sure it was fully uninstalled.

I have run it by right clicking and selecting Run as Administrator. I have logged in as a local machine admin account. I have also run it as a domain admin.

I have attached the installer log as I have not been able to glean anything from the errors in the log.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nvm it was the antivirus that was stopping it.

In case anyone else gets this error.
