Hi
I never had this problem before but i have not created a new VM in a very long time. Last time i created one was on Workstation 9 i think. Some time after upgrading to Workstation 10 or Windows 8.1 Update 1 this must of started.
In Workstation 10 running on Windows 8.1, i select File>New Virtual Machine, and the dialog comes up and in a few seconds VMware workstation crashes and closes.
So i checked Windows Event Logs and find
Warning "To function properly, VMware Workstation must be reinstalled after you upgrade Windows."
So i upgraded from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and it uninstalled and reinstalled but i still get this warning.

So i need some help to track this down as i am not sure what VMware log to look at to maybe find out what is going on.
Thanks
