Problem statement : VMware-player-4.0.3-703057 .exe always stops and give MSI error through pop up window
C:\Users\kukhan\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_1374955748\vmwarevmcisockets64.msi failed
I had installed Vmware Player VMware-player-4.0.3-703057 and it was working fine . I had installed some VMware tools on the top of it and it has not given any problem ,
A week before i tried to uninstall it as i was thinking to install the latest version , but from add/remove programs it gave me an error "The MSI Failed"
I tried all possible solutions for cleaning my system ( as per VM KB articles.) and to get away with this error but failed to do so. I tried to upgrade with version but failed to do so .
i am at the point right now that VMware-player-4.0.3-703057 is not there as i cleaned that from registry but still it is sitting in add remove programs.
I am attaching few files which i got from %temp% and need an expert advise how to uninstall VMware-player-4.0.3-703057 and install VMware-player-5.0.2-1031769.
