Cannot Manually Download Fusion Player - Button does nothing

I have the persona license, etc., but whether I use Firefox or Safari, the button to "manually download" does nothing.  My pop-up blockers are now disabled, same issue.

I was able to download with my Pixel 2 Android, but want  VMware ppl/staff/community to be aware of this issue and/or provide the fix.

FWIW, the direct link to the latest dmg will always be:

Yep... I reported that issue a couple of days ago.

Not to worry though.

That download is EXACTLY the same as the professional version that you can get from here:

https://www.vmware.com/go/tryfusion

The difference is the license, not the bits.

Does incognito/private browsing work?

(not saying that is acceptable, just trying to understand the conditions where that button doesn't work... I had it happen myself, but then I put the page on the 'allow' list for my ad blocker (Ghostery) and the link worked.)

It's a little surprising a huge company can't get a link that works, right?  Thanks for the solution!  :smileygrin:

I had the same issue but resolved it by disabling UBlock Origin which is an ad blocker plugin I was using in Chrome.

There's some new/modified tracker, and if you block it, it blocks functionality.  Not just here - having the issue on several sites.
