Cannot Start, Remove or Upgrade Vmware workstation player after attempting to upgrade to 12.5.8 - error 1336 in logs (Windows)

$

Hi All,

Before I begin, I am running VMware workstation player on Windows 10 64bit

I am using VMware workstation player 12.5.7 for studies running several different types of virtualized OS's.

Today I loaded the hypervisor which requested to update to the latest version 12.5.8 from 12.5.7 which I attempted to do.

towards the end of the installation I received 2 notifications; 1 from Windows defender and 1 from the VMware install window.

 

Windows defender prompts the following: Unauthorized changes blocked, Controlled folder Access blocked C:\Windows\...\msiexec.exe from making changes to the folder %common_desktop%\

VMware install window prompts the error: There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation.

 

This error occurs whenever I try to upgrade, reinstall or remove VMware workstation player.

I have tried to disable Windows defender in which I no longer get notified by Windows defender of a block however I still get the prompt in the VMware install window.

I also run these as administrator which makes no diference.

I have searched the interweb for any issues but havent found a specifically similar issue.

 

An excerpt from the error log:

MSI (s) (5C:68) [16:52:16:507]: Note: 1: 1336 2: 2 3: C:\Users\Public\Desktop\

Error 1336. There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation.  Folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop\. System error code: 2

MSI (s) (5C:68) [16:52:18:885]: Product: VMware Player -- Error 1336. There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation.  Folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop\. System error code: 2

 

At present I cannot even load my existing VMware instance as I get the following error when attempting to load a guest OS:

Error while powering on: VMware Player cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files.

 

The following error occurred when starting VMware Player.

 

W32AuthConnectionLaunch: Reply error "Process creation failed".

 

When I try to run the hyporvisor as an administrator I get the following error:

Error while powering on: VMware Player cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files.

 

The VMX process exited prematurely.

 

At present I cannot use VMware at all, so eagerly awaiting assistance if it can be provided.

 

Regards

We need the ESXi host logs and SRM logs for the site the detach is failing.

The SRM report will in-detail tell you which host the detach has failed from.,

How big is the delta flat file.?

 

can you run the below for redo log file for which the clone is failing

 

vmkfstools -q snapshot_ xxxxxx#.vmdk -v10 | less

 

One of the causes for redo corruption as per the KB is datastore space.. please check the same.

Also check if you can kill the Vm-world if the disk cloning fails even after VM power off.

 

VMware Knowledge Base

 

If the redo log file is not large, you can think of discarding the same. point the vm back to the base disk and power on.

Is there a way to use vmw_ahci for "Patsburg 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit"?

 

I dont think you can do that.

 

however, can you put the Intel Patsburg SAS Storage Control in the vmware HCL and check if the driver version you are running can be upgraded.

 

you can check that from below command

 

vmkload_mod -l

 

get the rste module name from this list

 

vmkload_mod -s xxxxx

 

this should give you the version.

 

I found below in vmware HCL.. none of the cards seem to be using rste driver

Thanks I'll do some testing with this.  Hopefully I'll get the results I'm hoping for!


Fail a vRA Deployment when VMPSMasterWorkflow32.Requested lifecycle state workflow errors out

I've tried following the documentation and examples to fail out the request at the VMPSMasterWorkflow32.Requested lifecycle state.  All the examples I see are during the buildingMachine state and I want to fail out well before that.  Documentation says that you can but its not working for me.  Can anyone share their configuration where this is working.  I have a subscription setup correctly for the "PRE" event and its blocking.  I am setting an output for virtualMachineEvent from the workflow.  I tried "BuildFailure" and tried some other strings like "ProvisionFailure", "RequestFailure" just so see if those would work.  In the documentation the only events that I see or the OnBuildFailure and OnBuildSuccess. 

Re: NSX Edge - ECMP

I would go forward with your first approach.

 

Is the below steps correct.

Step 1. Disable ECMP - Not sure doing this will have any impact

Step 2 : Change OSPF cost from 1 to 100 in both NSX side & R2 side for VL:AN 101

 

There should be no interruption during Step 1. I suppose you have configured the OSPF Hello/Dead timers for 1/3 thus the routing change should be very fast.

No, sorry. It does not solve the problems. I unregistered the VMs and have removed the drives, no success.

Re: License Failure and DVUplink False Positive Error

Both code snippets seem to be working for me.

 

1) Since you add the ESXi node, perhaps it would be better to wait (in a loop) till the ESXi node is marked as "connected" before taking any further actions on it?

 

2) I can only simulate that behaviour when I use the incorrect uplinkname, and that is also what the error message seems to suggest.

As a test, you check if the uplinkname you are using is present in the list of uplinkportnames.

 

$vdsName='MyVds'

Get-VDSwitch-Name$vdsName|Get-VDPortgroup|where{$_.IsUplink} |Get-VDPort|selectName

Hi, I am running Workstation Player V12.5.8 on a Windows 10. I am running a Windows XP guest and cannot get on to the internet with Internet Explorer. I have set up the network using both Bridged and NAT and both show that I am connected to the network. When I open a command window, I am able to ping both google and 8.8.8.8. Has anyone experienced this or know a fix?

Awesome. Let me try this workflow.

 

Please do let me know how to make sure the IP address(es) used this way is marked ALLOCATED after. This way the VRA will not allocate the same IP addr to other VMs.

Thanks

This hot-add option should of course be available but just..

could you shutdown the machine for once and put this advanced configuration of the vm.

Hello,

I was compacting VM's disk in Vmware Fusion on Mac computer, which crashed. As I result, my .vmdk has been corrupted.

I tried  sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vdiskmanager -R

It finished saying The virtual disk, '/Users/Yuri 1/Documents/Virtual Machines/Trial Windows 8.1 x64.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk.vmdk', is corrupted and cannot be repaired.

I have a one month old backup copy of this VM.

Is there any way to recover the data from the most recent copy of this corrupted VM?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
