Remove VMware completely when the installer fails - HOW?

I had VMware Workstation 8 works fine on a 64-Bit machine of Windows 7.

I bought 9 Workstation and tried to install it, and he says that he should uninstall version 8.

Well, it failed.  Now, I can not install ANY version, version 7, 8 or 9, all versions.

The installer is apparently unable to deal with an error to uninstall an earlier version. Why?

[at this point, Monday, December 17, 2012, it is all fixed with VMware technical phone support. It involves several

steps and a key was to use the utility Fixit from microsoft from here: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2438651/en-us

and 1308 VMware knowledge base article http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1308 .

Microsoft fixit scanner not found VMware, but she showed 'unknown' (or other?) and VMware

technical support took the key to the article above of 1308

{0D94F75A-0EA6-4951-B3AF-B145FA9E05C6} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Paste in the registry key when asked by the fixit utility

{0D94F75A-0EA6-4951-B3AF-B145FA9E05C6}

Who noted a mistake and fixed it.

My options are:

1 reinstall the Windows operating system and start from scratch (which will take a few days to catch up with installed programs).

NOTE: DON'T DO THIS WITH THE SUPPORT OF VMWARE

2. remove all vestiges of the previous installations of VMware so I can install without being told that the installer has found another version.

NOTE: THIS WAS DONE BY THE TECHNOLOGY WITH THE HELP OF THEIR CONTROL PROGRAM REMOTE

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They have the option "/ clean" on the installer, which does not work, but it must do what he pretended to do so, remove all previous keys and elements.

What a VMware solution that fixed what well Setup obviously cannot fix. It should prepare my computer so it will NOT report versions of VMware if I can install two versions 7, 8, or 9.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the help of VMware support, they were able to completely remove VMware and install VMware 9. I'm going to

to try to writeup that they did, but the solution took about 30 minutes and many find and remove the

Directories of VMware.

I now have version 9 installed and it works fine.

This feature was introduced in WS 7.
Since then WS installers often think that older versions is present - and this happens even on systems that has never ever been before WS.

On the issue of the port... This is normal. Most of the time it does not configure the port correctly during a first installation.
You have installed Skype? -Make sure that remove you it temporarily.
Then stop vmware - pass manually - change the
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd\proxy.xml
-use an equivalent path for win7 of course - so that it uses the port you want.

445

Then restart vmware - pass and it works hopefully

    I'd start first with the chkdsk/r.

    Don't forget - if you have a factory installed recovery Partition, fixmbr will scan it as the Master Boot Record that written XP will equal not the MBR installed by the factory, so first run chkdsk /r (did I say that already)?

    Here are some instructions:

    Where people have no XP bootable media, here are my instructions:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
