It works until it tries installing vmx driver, that step instantly fails and the installer rolls back all the progress. msi, which I backed up, and removed the check for Windows 7 using Orca. So that Workstation 11/12 method should work. Mind you, it's quite difficult to trick VMware installers (unless you can get the OS to effectively become NT 6.2, which may cause web browsers to freeze). Probably just people taking W7 EOS too seriously, even though Windows 8 as a client OS had its EOS in 2016.

The Whatsapp desktop application says that it needs Windows 8 but runs on 7. Vegas Pro 17 says in its system requirements that it needs Windows 10 but the installer says that it requires Windows 7/8. And the same thing happens all over again.ĭoes anybody have a clue how to get it up and running because I've read so many threads about the same issue and just nothing works for me.Is there any non-UWP/DX12 software that really cannot run on W7? The only missing win32 API function that I've seen called is user32!SetCoalescableTimer by the Office 2019 installer and it should be trivial to add. I even installed update KB3033929 which some people claimed that solves the issue. Why the same 32-bit version wants to install and work on my 64-bit Windows 10 Professional from which I'm posting this thread right now, but fiercely refuses to install and work on 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine? Finally, I tried removing cache it created in Program Files in Common Files folder but again the same damn thing happens. It doesn't even want to repair the damn setup file. I tried from cmd to repair installation file but interestingly I can't. When clicked it rolls back the installation process and says that setup has ended up prematurely. It even places icon on the desktop and than prompts a window with exclamation mark and button OK. I tried rebooting, deleting vmkbd3 key from the registry, but always the same. I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation Pro 15.0 32-bit version on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 machine but it always rolls back setup.
