Did you close out VMware before running it?

Yup

Oh, it's work, looks like the "stop service" things don't work LOL. I have to go with Process Hacker to stop all things

NaNonnI commented 3 years ago

Oh and xcopy don't work at all

mkitchingh commented 3 years ago

If those commands aren't working, sounds like something might be wrong with your PC.

Sorry, I didn't read the title. It looks like you have another VMware dependent service still attached. Have you try to restart and run again?

I see that vmware has a lot of other .exe running in the background (sorry for my english)

So I recommand you to replace the stop services by

echo. echo Stopping VMware services... net stop vmware-view-usbd > NUL 2>&1 net stop VMwareHostd > NUL 2>&1 net stop VMAuthdService > NUL 2>&1 net stop VMUSBArbService > NUL 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM vmware.exe > NUL 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM vmware-tray.exe > NUL 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM vmware-authd.exe > NUL 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM vmware-hostd.exe > NUL 2>&1 taskkill /F /IM vmware-usbarbitrator64.exe > NUL 2>&1

Did you already try theses commands? Normally after install VMware and before first time running, it's recommended to run unlocker.

Well my VMware was already installed and configured so.. x)

BDisp commented 3 years ago

If anyones else thinks it's better to add these commands, please give feedback. Thanks.

mkitchingh commented 3 years ago

I do not. I've probably run unlocker over 100 times with VMware already installed. I've never run into this and don't know anyone else who has either.

BDisp commented 3 years ago

I already faced these into this little issues, but nothing that a kill task don't fix :-)

martianatwork commented 3 years ago

@BDisp killing the services before starting the other process it a better idea, it will just save some time.

Looks like you are executing unlocker.exe instead of win-install.bat
