When attempting to install VMWare Workstation 6 (as well as when I attempted to install an evaluation version of 9), the installer fails with an error simplay stating that '~\vmware workstation.msi failed'. This is in 64-bit Windows 7.

I found that stopping after the temp directory gets created and running 'vmware workstation.msi' directly instead of using the already-running installer allowed me to finish the installation. |

Do you have Avast! antivirus installed? That was the cause of my failed installation message. Deactivate it for some time doesn't work. I had to totally uninstall it and reinstall later. |
