These following steps will show you how to fix VMware installation problem (The MSI Failed).

Only older versions of VMware Workstation are affected, but even users willing to pay for an upgrade may face other compatibility issues.

It cannot be installed – somewhere during installation, near installation of network adapter driver, it will fail and rollback. Or it will say hcmon driver installation failed and rollback.

Step 1:

1) Go to ‘Temp’ directory, located under user (profile folder) who does the installation/uninstallation in his computer.

C:Users(username)AppDataLocalTemp

or just go to 'win+R' type %TEMP% ...

2) Make sure none of the VMware installation or uninstallation process is running. Select and Delete all vmware files and folders in this location.

3) Restart the computer: 'win+R' type shutdown -r -t 0.

Step 2:

Remove Vmware Workstation

After restarting the computer open command prompt and run the following commands.

  • 'win+R' type cmd.

  • Switch to admin: runas /user:(username) cmd enter password to run cmd as admin.

  • Change directory where you have VMware setup:
    cd d:vmware

  • Then lunch installation: VMware-workstation.exe /x /v EULAS_AGREED=1, you should add /v EULAS_AGREED=1 to enable licence agreement.

  • Wait for a while and click next then modify...

enjoy the installation

Sandboxed Graphics Processes

Vmware Workstation Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 32-bit

  • We’ve dramatically enhanced virtual machine security by using a special non-root “sandbox” process for rendering 3d hardware assisted graphics. This further isolates the Guest VM operations from the Host, significantly reducing the viability of privilege escalation to the host.

To get started with DX11, VMware Tools needs to be upgraded, and the Virtual Hardware Compatibility version must be set to v18. Existing VMs can be upgraded by adjusting the virtual hardware compatibility while the VM is powered off. After power-on, you can then upgrade VMware tools as you normally would. With new VMs you may need to manually set the virtual hardware version to v18 before installing, so double check.
