This give multiple choices:Ī) Some 3rd Party security software is preventing VMware licensing to write (perhaps to registry or somewhere else).

wording suggests that the computer has stayed the same. This can easily be the case on a corporate PC - this is already asked but not answered Administrator rights are not real Windows rights. The immediate choices would be like the following: Since the same problem was with an older version of VMware and because this also indicates an older version of Windows 10 being used, this is something typical for this particular system or the user case.

I leave out the trivial choices that would also solve the case (like Windows 10 Upgrade or errors when installing or old 16.x version) - some of these have already been discussed in this thread, but not answered. Further info might also solve the case immediately. This is of course speculative, but this explains why my questions. The analysis of this problem, providing that all is correct that has been said before, would be something like this. There isn't much point in messing with those who try to solve your case. The idea here is also that if somebody cannot give you an answer, you wait if somebody else has a better idea. If you find a solution somewhere that works, without doing further analysis of your system, let us know - that is the idea on this discussion Forum. But there is no point in analysing further, if nothing is answered. I could easily add many more reasons, like 3rd Party security software of many kinds. Those are the tools of the trade to get hang on the problem. Event log and "temp logs" was already mentioned above. I already asked about a few very obvious candidates for this - twice, but no anwers. This kind of "wrong" can happen because of VERY many reasons. This is just normal English, nothing personal, nothing sinister.Īs a personal OPINION, when software installation on a Windows system is not working correctly, there is something very wrong, somewhere. I'm using CLEAN Windows 10 systems to test these and I can very well see the abnormality in a correctly working system compared to your system which doesn't work correctly - thus it is working wrong. What I meant was that your Windows system behavior is not what happens by default in Windows. Understand very well what your problem is.
