Cannot install VMware workstation 11 on Windows 10 Pro x64

[GeezerAl]

Workstation 11 hangs during install onto windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 9926.

The install of the VMware network install library is what does not respond. It cannot be shut down with the Task Manager.

Also, the Virtual Network Edit hangs.

Requires logout to kill the process.

Waited a long time to see if it would revive, but it did not.

anything known about this?

I couldn't install windows 8.1 on earlier versions of VMware. Once I installed VMware 11 windows 8.1 installed no problem, haven't tried windows 10 but if there isn't an option for it when you create the vm my guess is you will have trouble. Maybe load windows 8 and try to upgrade to 10?

I have the same problem in Windos 8.1 when trying to update Player Vsn 7.1 from Vsn 7.0.
The Player Setup freezed and task manager reported "VMware network install library executable (64-bit version(" is not responding.

The task could not be ended from Task Manager, I had to shut down and restart the machine.

I manually cleaned out anything regarding the Player on the disk and in the registry.

The I tried to install Vsn 7.1 again, but came to the same point with a frozen VMware Palyer Setup.

Any hint anyone?

Same problem here.

I tried to install WS 11.1.2 on Windows-10-pro-x64(10240) vm, I can install successfully.

But during the installation, the prograss bar didn't change at all.

I will try on a Win10-pro host when I have time.

Can you upgrade your win10-pro to 10240 and try again.

not working.any one have solution for vmware player.i have reinstalled many time even with compatible mode but still not working

[wila]

Hi,

You're not really mentioning what version of VMware Player you are installing, but do make sure you have the very latest.

In your case I would probably install the tech preview:

VMware Workstation Technology Preview 2015

can you roll back to win7 and uninstall Vmware workstation, then upgrade to win10, -->install VMware workstation again?

I have the same problem, too.

The reason was the antivirus (in my installation  Kaspersky Total Security).

Once I've removed the antivirus, I've tried to reinstall VMWare workstation, and the vnetlib (in my installation vnetlib64) hasn't hung, and the virtual network adapters have installed fine.

Then I've tried to install Kaspersky Total Security, and I've assigned Virtual Network Editor as application reliable on Kaspersky Configuration,  and then all worked as it would.
