I want to install a Mac OS X virtual machine is said that the new support for Mac OS X vmware workstation 9.0, so I quickly uninstalled 4.0 installed 9.0 to try.
me from http:// www.crsky.com/soft/1863.html download the zip package, unzip VMware-workstation-full-9.0.1-894247.exe. This is the setup, I suspected that the name is too long, it was renamed vmware.exe.
and then double-click the installation, told me that the setup has detected the vmware software running on this machine. Will not let me install!
then I run in the command line vmware.exe /? parameter list. Found by “VMware.exe / d / v / f2 D:. Log” so open debug log.
rerun found after browsing log,

So, it would be wrong in that I should not have to rename the installer. Exactly the name is the same as the name of a service process installed, so it mistaken vmware is already installed and running. In fact, it is detected that the process is the installation program itself.
