[系统运维]service ‘vmware authorization service‘ (vmauthdservice) could not be installed

service ‘vmware authorization service’ (vmauthdservice) could not be installed

我在装Windows11前备份了软件到一块独立磁盘中，然而在装完系统后无法启动VMware的虚拟机，提示一个Auth服务无法启动，当我手动启动时提示文件不存在，按照官方解答是MSI database损坏，所以需要卸载掉原来的VMware，然后使在你的安装包目录下以管理员用户打开shell，执行 .\VMware-workstation-full-15.5.5-16285975.exe.exe -r （vmware安装包 -r），一直确认，然后按照提示重启电脑再次按照即可运行。

Have you had trying to uninstall the Workstation by some other 3-party tools? Looks like the Windows MSI database is destroyed. I would suggest you clear up the Workstation installer database and retry the installation.

Following is the step to reset the Workstation MSI database

\1. Uninstall Workstation if you can see the “VMware Workstation” in the control panel->uninstall or change a program.

\2. open a cmd console with administrator priviledge.

\3. run this command:

C:\Users\username\Desktop\Downloads\VMware-workstation-full-15.5.5-16285975.exe -r

(I assume you downloaded the installer here, and use 15.5.5 version, you should change it to your filename.)

\4. After this command, you will be prompt to reboot the host.

\5. Reboot the host and retry the installation.

You should never use 3-party tools to uninstall Workstation.
