Right-click VMware hcmon and click Uninstall. Rename the C: windows system32 drivers hcmon.sys file to hcmon.sys.old. But i can not find hcmon.sys in device manager!! I get the 'HCMON Driver Error' at the end of the installation, once the files are copied and the software is registered. If you press Accept on the pop-up that shows you the error, the installation process starts a roll back task, so the package is uninstalled. Hi, I can't install Vmware player on my laptop. I tried a lot of things but nothing worked. It was working fine but after reinstalling windows 10 I can't install any kind of Vmware product. It says 'failed to install hcmon' every time. I wasted 2 days on the internet to find a solution and tried a lot of things but nothing worked.
