Folk,
Hello.
Before reinstall VMware Player 12.5 or Workstation Pro 12.5 "Run As Administrator", simply right click on the install file "Run as Administrator" to install.
We need to uninstall both at first.
When I install Workstation Pro 12.5 into the computer, VMPlayer 12.5 is automatically uninstalled. I also delete its installed folder easily.
Now, the issue is that I cannot uninstall VMware Workstation Pro 12.5 in both ways as below:
First way: Log in Windows 10 as regular user MyName.
Control Panel > Programs and Features > VMware Workstation Pro 12.5, the program cannot "uninstall" and only can "Change".
Second way: Log in Windows 10 as Administrator. The result is the same:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > VMware Workstation Pro 12.5, the program cannot "uninstall" and only can "Change".
I have tired to delete its installed folder, both users MyName and Administrator come up the same error message:
"The Action cannot completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again."
I close all of programs and reboot the computer to delete its installed folder again but get the same error message as above.
My questions:
1) Why no "uninstall" in Control Panel for "VMware Workstation Pro 12.5" ?
2) How to solve the above issue to uninstall "VMware Workstation Pro 12.5" ?
Thanks in advance.
