Error: This product can only be installed on 64-bit Windows 7 or newer operating systems.

Hello community,

How are you all? I hope you're well

I tried to install VMWare Player 7 and therefore uninstalled the old version. Now I have the problem, the above error appears and the newspapers to read as follow:

"

I'm on Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate with SP1 installed.

Someone knows how to fix this?

Note: I had to do a complete repair of my operating system with the installation disc of Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate SP1 a few weeks ago. This should not have such an effect.

Also, when I try to install 6.0.3 I get this message:

PS: Already uninstalled my AV well as disabled to Defender. No other AV or similar tool is running. No change in behavior. VMware Player 5.5 installs ok, but cannot be updated. VMWare Workstation has this issue too and forced installation gives the uninstall error "MSI" failed. " No suggestion works here. Removed all the entries from the registry and the file system. It seems no more, I missed something, or there is a flag somewhere unrelated to "VMware" something in the system hidden.

PPS: I am full administrator.

No worries.

I checked again the LUA file and noticed that it says version 5.0.0 to version VMware Player. I guess that there is a big mess in my system. I finally managed to install version 7 with a little force. Here my steps:

1. open the cmd command prompt (to be on the safe side as administrator * lol *).

2 extract the installation package:

\VMware-Player-7.0.0-2305329.exe/e \VMwarePlayer7

3. go to the folder<>

4 run the command (if the installation is not allowed)

VMwarePlayer.msi EULAS_AGREED = 1

I hope this helps others as well

Best regards
