Error 1324 during VMware installation. The path my Documents contains a invalid character cause and resolution _vmware

Finally found the answer I want, top, Roar ~

When I install VMware Workstation today, I am always prompted for error 1324. The path my Documents contains a invalid character. I found the reason on the internet, all said is the file name error. This error may also occur when installing additional software. I picked it up from the Internet.

Behavior: The following prompts appear when installing software: Error 1324.The path My Documents contains a invalid character.

Reason: My Documents path has illegal characters (either Chinese or irregular characters) or the My Documents environment variable path is not approved by the installer

Resolve: Restore My Documents path to system defaults
Open Registry Editor regedit, find [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders], In the right-hand window, the E:\My documents for the personal item are changed to C:\Documents and Settings\ the current user \my documents, which can be installed normally.

In fact, the above solution is only part of the answer, some people through this method can be solved, but I believe most people can not solve. The real solution is (I can't solve it through the above method, here's My solution):

Follow the above method to find personal, which is in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders], In the right window, you look at its value (this value is probably different for everyone), its path should be you do not have the path (my is D:\My Documents, in fact, my computer does not have D disk, only C and E disk), to change it to their own path (I changed to C:\My Documents, you can also consider change to C:\Documents and Settings\ current user \my Documents, see how they want to change it. After this change, in fact, still not. You're going to have to search the registry. Because there are other places did not change, I was in the registry search D:\My documents, and then the D disk path to C-disk, became the C:\My documents. That's OK.
