Hello,

Where did you get the DMG file from? It sounds like it could be corrupt or incomplete.

Try ddownloading the file from VmWare site and see if it allows you to install it. If you still cannot install, then you can email their support team.

HTH and good luck.

Hello,

Yes, when you download the file and open it, it will decompress and provide you with an installer.

Are you logged in as admin? Did you install VMware trial version previously? Also, did you allow third party installers?

Those are things I would check. Iā€™m sure if someone else have other ideas, they will post.

HTH and good luck.
