If there's a floppy disc or extra DVD drive with "autoinst" or the like on it, remove that drive. Make sure you have your ISO or disc selected in the VM options. (Player does not support custom settings, so you either need to get 15.x, which is what you need anyway, or Pro 16.x.) Step 3: Modification After that, customize the settings you want. If you have Pro 16.x, make sure compatibility is set to Workstation 15.x (in Custom settings).
If you have Pro or Player 15.x, do what you normally do. Note: Do not let VMware scan your ISO or disc, Easy Install may use the wrong version of Windows, whether a wrong edition or architecture. An old version of the VMware Tools ISO (10.3.5 to be precise), from here.
VMware Workstation (Pro or Player) 15.x, or Pro 16.x. This is an unsupported operating system, with unsupported drivers. However, you can use an older version of VMware Tools, which is here: And the same thing happens all over again.ĭoes anybody have a clue how to get it up and running because I've read so many threads about the same issue and just nothing works for me.As of, VMware no longer signs Tools for Windows Vista with SHA-1, so you need Windows 7 SP1 or later to use the latest version. I even installed update KB3033929 which some people claimed that solves the issue. Why the same 32-bit version wants to install and work on my 64-bit Windows 10 Professional from which I'm posting this thread right now, but fiercely refuses to install and work on 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine? Finally, I tried removing cache it created in Program Files in Common Files folder but again the same damn thing happens. It doesn't even want to repair the damn setup file. I tried from cmd to repair installation file but interestingly I can't. When clicked it rolls back the installation process and says that setup has ended up prematurely. It even places icon on the desktop and than prompts a window with exclamation mark and button OK. I tried rebooting, deleting vmkbd3 key from the registry, but always the same. I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation Pro 15.0 32-bit version on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 machine but it always rolls back setup.
