Cannot Uninstall VMware Workstation 8.0

I am trying to update a computer to the latest windows 10 version. Apparently Windows has a problem with VMware Workstation being installed. To complete my update it asks me to uninstall it, so i try to since VMware Workstation isn't really used anymore. When i try to uninstall it, i get an error that says "MSI Failed" (Super informative). Anyone have any thoughts on how to remove this software? Let me know what logs to grab or anything i need to help figure this out.

I have tried removing any temp files related to vmware that i could find and also, this is risky, but i even went into the registry and searched for anything vmware related and started deleting things. but didn't help.

Thank you!
