After downloading the VMware-workstation-6.0.2-59824[1] file, I tried to launch the installer from the run window but got an error that Windows cannot open this file type. My system is Windows XP (32-bit) on a Dell Vostro 1500 with 4GB RAM.
How do I get Windows to recognize the file and begin the install?
Check its MD5 checksum. Instructions were provided on download page.
The output matches after running MD5 checksum.
Is this a Windows XP issue?
I simply went back, downloaded, and chose 'run' rather than 'save to file' in the prompt window.
