First, check whether you have installed the old version. If so, go down to 1. If you have installed the server version. The most likely reason is to install gsx server 3.2.0. VMware is easy to operate, but the uninstallation is not clean, especially in recent versions. Maybe you have an idea, you can reinstall it, but you will find that the re-installation cannot be completed, and a prompt that the 57799c. MSI file cannot be found. Solution: Decompress the installation package with WinRAR, which contains a file named "VMware gsx server. msi, rename it as "57799c. msi, copy it to the C: \ WINDOWS \ Installer folder, and double-click 57799c. if you want to install vmware workstation 7.0.1 without uninstalling the original version, double-click vmware workstation 7.0.1. 2. If you have installed workstation, download vmware workstation 5.5.9 and install it. Do not uninstall it after installation. You can find that vmware workstation 7.0.1 can be installed.
