After doing that Workstation installer worked like a charm and had no more issues. After that I just went ahead and downloaded vc_redist.圆4.exe via Microsoft’s support site and installed it manually. Well did that the first time the installer asked me to press “Yes” and reboot, after that the message still came up, tried it one more time and then it still persisted. When running the installer it always prompted me that “In order to finish installing VC redist”, I need to reboot my computer. That didn’t go as smooth as I would have expected.Īs it turns out the installer for VMware Workstation 15 Pro(VMware-workstation-full-15.5.0-14665864.exe) in my case had a small issue where it wouldn’t install. So I went ahead and got the upgrade license and went on to update it. Although there are many workaround hints available, I for one do not want to mess about with uninstalling and blocking some windows update packages. VMware hasn’t released a patch for it and the Windows updater points to and seems to be promoting upgrading to version 15. After that, customize the settings you want. Press CTRL+ALT to release control from the virtual environment and from the top toolbar choose the arrow next to the Pause button and choose the option Restart Guest. If you have Pro 16.x, make sure compatibility is set to Workstation 15.x (in Custom settings). You may hear a beep to confirm that this process has been completed and a message asking you to reboot your system. If you have Pro or Player 15.x, do what you normally do. It is a known issue since the release of 1903. 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. After updating my Windows 10 to 1903 VMware Workstation 14 stopped working.
