Now get set for the temporary disappointment. That leaves Windows 98/ME holdouts in the lurch, which I suppose was to be expected. Try the virus tool, and you'll bump into a scanning wizard that's aimed at Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 platforms only. You can get the MSRT (Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool) either from the Microsoft download site or via AutoUpdate. That means hell has officially frozen over, and I have to rely entirely on Microsoft's new anti-virus tool. Thought I'd share and hope to see a future with less of a headache removing VMware from our computers.I'm smart enough to engineer a trip to Honolulu a couple of times a year - but somehow, with only a couple of weeks to go till I get to paradise, I wind up in Chelmsford, Mass., where the temperature drops to a posterior-clenching 15 degrees. Now I've installed VMware before on 64 and 86 bit systems and didn't have any problems uninstalling but for some reason ran into snags this time. VMware is too complex and integrates so closely to the home system the duplication becomes almost integrated which is ironic when it comes to removing it from your computer. dll and regular files without screwing over my integrated MSI installer. So my request is for the developement of a "complete" uninstall tool that will remove safetly all the VMware folders, duplicate.
Not sure which ones are "exactly" connected to VMware or others that are clones for another program. I found these in my System32 file after I thought I had deleted everything but couldn't get rid of any of my VMware servcies or PlugnPlay. This reminds me allot of when Symantec/Norton a few years back was such a behemothly bloated software to get off your system until they came out with their uninstaller tools. This has been completely frustrating and I appreciate all the links and threads to read lengthy "how to" get rid of VMware totally. I also did a search on my Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate and found several duplicate VMware.dll and VM type dll's. I also went into Device Manager (show hidden files) and attempted to uninstallĪgain with no luck after numerous tries and reboots.
I went into services and disabled VMware DHCP, VMware Nat Service, and VMware Arbitration Service because I couldn't get rid of them. I ran command prompts and went into the registry to try and manually clean everything. I then went to install VMware 8 and it tried to unistall the previous version of VMware first and then game me the "MSI failed". I uninstalled VMware 7 build 203739 this week and evidently didn't get everything cleaned out. I'm a long time user and first time caller, eeerrr I mean poster. Hello just signed up for the VMware community.
