Transport (VMDB) error -44: Message. The VMware Authorization Service is not running.

I’m trying to install Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on VMware workstation 9.0.1. I’m using to VMware unlock Mac OS X Guest 8x. When I try to power on the virtual machine this error pops up. please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Host OS: Windows 8

VMware Workstation 9

VM's: Win 7 Pro, Win 2008 server Enterprise

I had this issue and it kept returning, so i got fed up with it.

Each time i had the error, i tried restarting the service, it failed, so i checked the windows dependancy service and it was already started. My only solution was to uninstall Workstation 9 and reinstall. This is an annoyance more than anything. From what i see on a number of posts, there is no proper fix

I am now installing VirtualBox.

Has your issue returned?

Shutdown all your VMs, exit VMware Workstation. Right-click on the VMware Workstation icon and select Run as Administrator. Power ON your VM and check if you still get the same error.
