Hello everyone,
I uninstalled vmwareplayer some days ago. Last week, I tried to install vmwareplayer 5.0.2 but the installation failed with this message:
"The MSI C:\users\A\Appdata\local\temp\vmwareplayer_x64.msi failed".
I tried to install an older version of vmware player and workstation but the problem still the same.
I runed as a local administrator and have deleted the %TEMP% directory and CCleaner before each test.
My MSIEXEC version is 5.0.7601.17514
In the vmsetup.20130603204822.log I can see:
"

It looks like the .msi has a problem.
Can someone help me to solve this problem ?
