立即卸载此应用，因为它与 Windows 不兼容

VMware Workstation Pro无法在Windows 11/10

如果您遇到此问题，您只需卸载VMware Workstation Pro，然后重试升级过程。但是通过Windows 10控制面板^{(Control Panel)}中的程序和功能小程序卸载软件并^{(uninstalling the software via the Programs and Features applet)}不能解决问题；正如一些用户报告的那样，卸载按钮是灰色的，或者即使在他们能够卸载软件之后，他们仍然遇到问题。之所以如此，是因为Windows 1o^{(Windows 1o)} PC上剩余的软件中仍有残留文件。因此，我们将引导您了解如何完全删除VMware Workstation Pro及其所有依赖项的侵入性方法。

1. 使用软件安装程序卸载VMware Workstation Pro
2. 使用第三方卸载^{(Uninstaller)}程序软件卸载VMware Workstation Pro
3. 通过命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}卸载VMware Workstation Pro

让我们看看这两种方法的描述。

1]使用软件安装程序卸载VMware Workstation Pro^{(Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro)}

如果您没有安装程序的副本，您可以从VMware网站或任何其他托管安装程序文件的站点下载。^(download)

请执行下列操作：

• ^(Log)以管理员^{(Administrator)}用户或作为本地管理员^{(Administrators)}组成员的用户身份登录到Windows主机系统。

如果登录域，域帐户也必须是本地管理员。

• 双击 VMware-workstation-abcd -abcdabc .exe 文件，其中 abcd -abcdabc是版本号和内部版本号。
•  在欢迎^(Welcome)屏幕上单击 下一步^(Next)，然后单击 删除^(Remove)。

• 单击 下一步^(Next)开始卸载VMware Workstation Pro。

2]使用第三方卸载^{(Uninstaller)}软件卸载VMware Workstation Pro^{(Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro)}

虽然Windows带有“添加^(Add)或删除程序”选项，但您经常会看到一条消息，告诉您某些组件无法删除，或者卸载失败。此外^(Add)，它通常会保留现有文件、文件夹和快捷方式，这意味着您必须手动删除它们。它也没有正确更新注册表。第三方软件卸载^{(Third-party software uninstallers)}程序可以做得更彻底。

3]通过命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}卸载VMware Workstation Pro^{(Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro)}

如果您要卸载Workstation 5.x或更高版本，请使用Workstation卸载程序。您需要将适当的安装程序下载到 PC 上的硬盘驱动器。

请执行下列操作：

• 在命令提示符窗口中，键入以下命令并按 Enter。

VMware-workstation-5.0.0-13124.exe /c

带有开关的此命令/c将自动从您的 Windows 10 PC中删除VMware Workstation的^{(VMware Workstation)}MSI注册信息。

如果您使用的是Workstation 12.x、11.x、10.x、9.x、8.x 或 7.x，请 /clean在提升的CMD提示符下使用开关运行安装程序。您的命令应如下所示：

VMware-workstation-full-7.1.2-301548.exe /clean

就是这样！完全卸载VMware Workstation后，您可以继续进行Windows 10升级 - 该过程应完成且不会出现任何错误。

VMware Workstation Pro can't run on Windows computer

Some PC users whеn upgrading from Windows 7/8.1 or earlier versions of Windows 10, to Windows 11/10 newer versions might encounter a VMware Workstation Pro error message. This post is intended to help affected users resolve this issue. In this post, we will provide an adequate solution you can try to successfully resolve this issue.

Uninstall this app now because it isn’t compatible with Windows

VMware Workstation Pro can’t run on Windows 11/10

If you’re faced with this issue, you can simply uninstall VMware Workstation Pro and then retry the upgrade process. But uninstalling the software via the Programs and Features applet in Control Panel on Windows 10 won’t cut it; as some users reported that either the button to uninstall is greyed out or that even after they were able to uninstall the software, they still had the issue. This is so because there are still residual files from the software that’s leftover on the Windows 1o PC. So, we will walk you through the invasive method on how you can completely remove VMware Workstation Pro and all its dependencies.

1. Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro using the software installer
2. Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro using third-party Uninstaller software
3. Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro via Command Prompt

Let’s see the description of both methods.

1] Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro using the software installer

If you do not have a copy of the installer, you can download from the VMware website or any other site hosting the installer file.

Do the following:

• Log in to the Windows host system as the Administrator user or as a user who is a member of the local Administrators group.

If you log in to the domain, the domain account must also be a local administrator.

• Double-click the VMware-workstation-abcd-abcdabc.exe file, where abcd-abcdabc is the version and build numbers.
• Click Next on the Welcome screen and then click Remove.

To save product license and Workstation Pro configuration information, select the appropriate checkboxes.

• Click Next to begin uninstalling VMware Workstation Pro.

2] Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro using third-party Uninstaller software

While Windows comes with an “Add or remove programs’ option, all too often you’ll be presented with a message telling you that some components couldn’t be removed, or the uninstall has failed. Additionally, it will often leave existing files, folders, and shortcuts in place meaning you have to delete these manually. It doesn’t also properly updated the registry, either. Third-party software uninstallers can do a more thorough job.

3] Uninstall VMware Workstation Pro via Command Prompt

If you are uninstalling Workstation 5.x or later versions, use the Workstation uninstaller. You’ll need to download the appropriate installer to your hard drive on your PC.

Do the following:

• Press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.
• In the Run dialog box, type cmd and then press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to open Command Prompt in admin/elevated mode.
• In the command prompt window, type the command below and hit Enter.

VMware-workstation-5.0.0-13124.exe /c

This command with the /c switch will automatically remove the MSI registration information for VMware Workstation from your Windows 10 PC.

If you are using Workstation 12.x, 11.x, 10.x, 9.x, 8.x, or 7.x, run the installer program with the /clean switch in elevated CMD prompt. Your command should look something like this:

VMware-workstation-full-7.1.2-301548.exe /clean

That’s it! Once you have completely uninstalled VMware Workstation, you can proceed with the Windows 10 upgrade – the process should complete without any errors.
