I keep getting the following error message when trying to install vmwre-workstation-full-8.0.0-471780.exe:
Error 1920. Service VMware Authorization Service (VMAuthdService) failed to start.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- I'm running Windows 7 (X64) with SP1, 8 Intel Xeon E5620 cores, 12 GB of memory.
- Rebooted and tried multiple times (4)
- Ran installation as administrator each time.
- The MD5 sum of the download matches the website.
- No other programs are running.
- VMware workstation 7 was uninstalled first.
- I've searched forums and google but only came across similar problems for different product. None of the workarounds work here.
