My system info:
Dell Inspiron 1720
Windows Vista x64 (Ultimate)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
4 GB of RAM
Yesterday, I downloaded the new VMware Workstation 6.0.4, and as I have so many times in the past, I just executd the installer to upgrade my installation. As usual, it wanted to uninstall my previous version before installing the new one, which it proceeded to do.
During the new install, it got almost to the end. At the first step after installing the USB driver (I think it is something like "Preparing network component installation", but it disappeared quickly), it decided that it needed to roll back the installation. After this, I got a message that the install failed, my system has not been modified, and to try again later. Nothing more specific than that.
I rebooted and ran the installer again, same thing.
I tried to install 6.0.3, the version I was running before, same thing. (So, it doesn't seem to have to do with any changes in 6.0.4.)
I tried manually removing things that VMware left behind to run the installer as "clean" as possible, (), same thing.
So, now I'm stuck without VMware on my main machine, which is a drag.
Does anyone know what might cause this? (Or, at least where to look for a setup log or something, that I can't seem to find?)
Thanks,
