Have Workstation 7.1.5-491717 and works fine.\u00a0 I then uninstall and install 8.0.0-471780 or 8.0.2-591240<\/p>\n
And now when trying to run VMWare Workstation I get<\/p>\n
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error (vmui)
\nException 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occurred.<\/p>\n
I’m on Windows 7 Pro 64Bit.\u00a0 If I uninstall 8 and go back to 7, it’s fine.\u00a0 Workstation 8 works fine on my laptop though.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
FIX –<\/p>\n
\n\nI have Win7 x64, running Workastation 7. I attempted to upgrade to Workstation 8 (30 day trial) and ran into the same problem.<\/p>\n
For me it turned out to be related to my “Favorites”. I finally got it working by moving the file “C:\\Users\\johna\\AppData\\Roaming\\VMware\\favorites.vmls” out of the folder it was in (temporarily) and then started VMWare; this time it started. Once started, it genearted a new file called “inventory.vmls”, I then dropped my file back into the folder, just in case I need to revert back to Workstation7.<\/p>\n
I assume you might be able to accomplish the same thing by removing all your favorites, but I don’t know.<\/p>\n
Hope this helps anyone with this problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
