Thank you very much for the reply.
Well, i tried to try that before and again i couldn't find it, actually i found OPENSSL.EXE-04919655.pf in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch
(actually you meant to type in Run the openssl.exe? or in the prompt command? tried both didn't work. then searched. i may have got you wrong.
i believe worked for you, and i wanted to try everything.worse comes the last, i may format it. has to work here.)
also in the registry i found the openssl.exe as a value under the tree Current user - software - microsoft - search assistant - ACMru - 5603
so i tried to rename these files and nothing again, same error. Although the value in the registry don't think it matters.
I did try already to short the name like C:\VMware\Worksation but got the same error.
Also checked my time and date, they're up to date.
Any further help please, will be much appreciated. (really need it)
am i right in thinking that there's something here that won't let VMware to install? Because on my mate's PC beside me installed fine.
Is there any way i can work around this openssl.exe file?
Thank you once more.
