VMPlayer closes(crashes?) when loading any VM (Linux Mint)

[Xalten]

Fairly new install of Linux Mint, 19.1

Brand new install of VMware Workstation 15 Player

Install went off without any hitch, player loads fine, but I'm unable to load any VMs.  It appears to create the VM but the program closes out/crashes whenever I try to load a VM.  If I load from CLI I get initial error of:

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml"

When I try to open a VM I get the following string of warnings before it closes

Googling has really not brought up anything other than the issue where it doesn't save the previously open VMs.  At a loss as to where to go from here.  Any suggestions/assistance would be helpful.

Ehh never mind, I'm an idiot.  I didn't realize I had NEVER virtualized on this computer so my BIOS wasn't set.  Got it working.

I looked at the posting and this should not be an issue but I do not know if there is a solution.

I do get the GUI front page but when I select a device to play I get the following errors.
