Upgrade to fusion 10 from version 7

[Christinatrembl]

Hi, I tried to upgrade to Fusion 10 but when I launch the virtual machine, I have a message who indicate something like "unable to find a valid process to connect" (the message is in french, that'a why I cannot give the exact message).

Is there someone who had experienced something like that? Thanks

Hi, Christinatremblay

Sorry for such thing happened.

It seems that your Fusion was blocked by macOS gatekeeper.

Could you try the following steps please?

1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Choose the Allow apps downloaded from: as App Store and identified developers

2. Remove /Applications/VMware Fusion.app and the dmg file VMware-Fusion-10.0.1-xxxxxx.dmg

3. Re-download the dmg file again from vmware.com

4. Re-install VMware Fusion

Hi,

macOS added extra security enhancements around the system extensions in High Sierra, as a result, a lot of people are bumping into this issue.

So far the steps in the article below appear to have helped most people to get around this.

Thank you very much! I tried this and it works.

Now, I have another problem: once my Windows session is open, programs like Chrome, Excel, Word, ... doesn't works. I receive a message who indicates that  .DLL is in error. I will probably have to reinstall all :>(.

Hi, Christina

Are you using the windows 10 VM please?

Did an error occur with a title of "This app can't open" ?

Best Regards

Hi Zhaokai,

I use Windows 8.1 pro on my VM and the message I have when I open a program like Word for example is related to the DLL COMCTL32.dll.

Do you think I will have to migrate to Windows 10?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi, Christina

I think there maybe is something wrong with your virtual machine, the windows system itself actually.

There are some cases such as missing comctl32.dll by using the keywords windows comctl32.dll at Google.

Upgrading the VM into windows 10 may help but I am not sure about this.

Could you try another windows virtual machine please?

Will it have the same COMCTL32 error please?

Hi,

I've created a new VM and reinstalled Windows. For now, it's seems to work properly but I will have to reinstall all my programs (Office, Chrome, etc.). The error on the other VM happen when I try to open a program. I hope it will be ok with the other VM...

Thanks again.
