Install VMware Workstation Pro on Windows 11

Download VMware Workstation Pro for Windows 11

I started with the x86 version then the 圆4, with a reboot after each one. There you will see the x86 and 圆4 versions of the installer. To fix go to the latest download for the package - The latest supported Visual C++ downloads I was running Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable 8. The WorkaroundĪs it was a new release I wondered if I had the latest redistributable. Also it mentions needing Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable version 14.x which I had installed. Workstation 15.5 comes with Tools v11 as detailed by Johnson in this blog post. I checked that but that seems specific to Tools version 10.3. Rebooting brings it back and clicking No cancels the update. On restart I kicked off the installer again and got the same issue! It seemed to not be able to get past this prompt. No problem - the VC Redistributables often need a reboot so I did it. It starts to install and throws this prompt: When checking for a new version using Help.Software Updates it was correctly seeing v15.5 was available. The Issueīoth machines are Windows 10 (19 both fully patched for that version) running VMware Workstation 15.1.0. I very eagerly tried to update my work machine and personal machines and hit a strange error that seems related to Visual C++ Redistributable not being installed properly or up to date. VMware released Workstation 15.5 today ( here is the announcement). VMware Workstation 15.5 Installation Issue
