Unable to start VM using the Workstation in Windows 10

Hello  happy people,

I have installed Windows 10 the other day and installed the VMware Workstation Player downloaded from: https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/12_0

But I cannot open/start my virtual machines, that use to work just fine on Windows 8.1 that I use before. I have this message in the log file (attached):

2016-02-01T10:59:01.078+01:00| vthread-4| I120: FILE: FileCreateDirectoryRetry: Non-retriable error encountered (C:\ProgramData\VMware): Cannot create a file when that file already exists (183)

2016-02-01T10:59:01.078+01:00| vthread-4| I120: FILE: FileCreateDirectoryRetry: Non-retriable error encountered (C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation): Cannot create a file when that file already exists (183)

I also try to install VMware Workstation 11 but without any success, I got the same message in the log file.


Can somebody please help me out here?

The log messages you posted are harmless.
The ovf-log is not useful - send a vmware.log
