VMware WS 15.5.0: "VMware Workstation failed to start the VMware Authorization Service"

hello,

my host machine is Win10 V1909. After this Win-Update around 7 days ago my VM with Win10 32bit doesn't start anymore

2019-11-25_Pic010-VMware WS-Startfehler.jpg

Manually starting doesn't help:

2019-11-25_Pic011-VMware WS-Startfehler NOCH nach manuellem Start des Dienstes VMware Authorizations Service.jpg

Even with this error code 6000009 I find no solution. In community-support I found a suggestion to repeat the VMware installation.

VMware Install-file is: VMware-workstation-full-15.5.0-14665864.exe

2019-11-25_Pic012-VMware WS-Setup gestartet um Repair auszuführen.jpg

click OK then:

und

2019-11-25_Pic014-transport (VMDB) error -14 Pipe connection has been broken.jpg

und

2019-11-25_Pic014-Version mismatch with vmx86 driver expecting 385.0 got 308.0.jpg

So the repair crashs. I also found a hint for the file vmx86.sys

There are a couple of this file, maybe because I updated a while ago from VMware Workstation 12:

2019-11-25_Pic016-vmx86.sys mehrere Dateien vorhanden_V02.jpg

I think the Win10-update 1909 is responsible for the issues but I found no solution

Anyone with same problem solved?

thx

First, you need uninstall your workstation.

Then,launch cmd as administrator, go to the folder where the workstation installer package located, and run VMware-workstation-full-15.5.0-14665864.exe -r

Later, a pop-up dialogue will prompt you to reboot the host.

After rebooting, you can install workstation by double click the VMware-workstation-full-15.5.0-14665864.exe .

Could you help a try and update the result here ?
