Failed to upgrade Technology Preview July 2014 at work stations 11 ' error: this product cannot be installed on 64-bit Windows 7 or newer operating systems.»

I am using 8.1 Windows 64 bit, with all the latest patches from Windows Update.

Anyone else see this problem?

Found a solution?

It does not reach that same message (pictured above) when I

  1. Run the Wizard "Software Updates" in the overview of the technology
  2. Run it VMware-workstation-full - 11.0.0 - 2305329.exe download, as it begins the installation routine, he first will uninstall the beta code
  3. Run the VMware-workstation-full - 11.0.0 - 2305329.exe in compatibility mode of Windows 7 or Windows 8
  4. Run the VMware-workstation-full - 11.0.0 - 2305329.exe as an administrator (even if it is connected to the administrator account)
  5. Rename (to re-enable debugging)
    C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-vmx-debug.exe-ORIGINAL
    Return to the
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware - vmx - debug.exe
    as described here TinkerTry IT @ home |  How to turn off debug mode in VMware Workstation Technology Preview 2014 for a speed of serious boos...
  6. When you try to use the "programs and features" Uninstall/change

If there is an uninstall program to run from

C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation

I would run it, but there isn't.

Any ideas?

Interesting that the built-in Windows 8.1 Troubleshooting Wizard has this to say

2014-12-02_15-15-09.png

I fixed it, here's how:

(1) re - download the technology preview July 2014:
VMware-workstation-full - e.x.p - 1946049.exe

from there:

https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/get-download?downloadGroup=Wkst-TP-July-2014

2) ran the exe above, Installer, when prompted (as pictured below), I chose "Delete", and it worked this time without error

(3) then, without even needing to restart, I was able to proceed with the upgrade, by simply launching

VMware-workstation-full - 11.0.0 - 2305329.exe

and I am now on VMware Workstation 11, edition of GA.

Glad it worked, hoping that this post will help other beta testers that may encounter the same problem.

I'll go ahead and mark this question as answered present.

  • When I upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 2015 CC Photoshop why was a 30 day trial installed instead of an update of the app?

    I have an Adobe CC account and my apps have always updated successfully in the pop-up window of CC. However, when I upgraded my CC Photoshop 2014 2015 CC Photoshop a 30 day trial has been installed instead of an update of the app. After the trial period my Photoshop app will still be available?  I don't want more than update my apps by fear of falling on this same problem.

  • I upgraded my computer, the new operating system on a new hard drive. Want to get my favorites on Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

    I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?

    You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:

    1. First display the hidden files and folders:

    2. Then go to:
      • < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
    3. Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
    4. Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
    5. Then restore from them:

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

    The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.

    I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
    Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

    Hi Hal K,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

  • I hate Vista. I am interested in upgrading to Windows 7. I can't afford a new operating system, since I'm 71 years old and this computer is probably my last.

    When I bought this computer, it came with Vista installed.  I don't have to use the computer for a while due to illness, and when I did, Microsoft told me it was too late to change or upgrade my computer to Windows 7.  I want to do this!  Why Vista cannot be changed for a better operating system?

    If your computer is capable of Windows 7, you can certainly put in Windows 7. But isn't. For. Free. Your age has nothing to do with the reality of life.

    I wonder if the converter is not able to work on the GPT partitions?  (I think I saw some discussion of the community on this problem using v.5.1, but using 5.5 should be resolved?)

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you

    Your problem is with VSS, it is probably the lack of space, to seek solutions and similar problems.

    Errors that you see are expected, we need a full newspaper bundle for investigation and don't warry on GPT disks, they are supported with converter 5 +.
