- Vmware Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 32-bit
- Vmware Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 64-bit
Vsphere client 5.5 fails to install the hcmon driver (.SOLVED.). Home/VMware/ VIX Library Failed with gethosthandle. Windows 10 Application Installed.
When installing the latest vSphere Client 6.0 on my Windows 10 computer, I got the following error “VMInstallHcmon – Failed to install hcmon driver”
- When your installing the your VMware product of choice, HCMON is installed as a hardware driver, which is the problem. Windows interprets this as a user adding hardware to the PC and in many environments that is something your operating system security or administrator may not automatically allow.
- But I don’t see Non-Plug and Play Drivers and VMware hcmon on my Windows 10 computer; Try renaming the C: Windows System32 drivers hcmon.sys file. Still get the same error; Solution. On my laptop, vSphere Client 5.5 and 6.0 (older build), and their respective Update Manager plug-in are installed; Remove these older clients and plug-ins.
