  1. Hi, I have exactly the same problem, but running the installation program after changing the compatibility as explained above, does not help me. I still get the same error. I’m on Windows 8.1 Pro, and the executable is: VMware-viclient-all-4.1.0-258902.exe
    Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
