VMWare: File not Found, on Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite


I'm having trouble opening VMWare on my Mac pro OS 10.10. I didn't do anything, moving its files or anything. I just turned my Mac off before I went to bed last night, and then this morning, when I tried to open VMWare again on my Mac, it keeps giving me this waring:

File not found.

I'm very confused, I've important files storing on my Windows workspace and need to have it restored.

What I've tried:

  • I've uninstalled VMWare on my machine, and re-downloaded and reinstalled it back, but, no luck, still the same warning. VMWare doesn't open at all.
  • I've also restarted my machine, hoping that something magic can happen, but unexpectedly, no luck.

Solution

  • OK, question resolved after I went to the Tech Stop at my University. We just found that Windows 7 was somehow gone in my VMWare, then we opened Virtual Machine Library of VMWare, then re-installed Win7 into this VMWare, as this picture shows: http://postimg.org/image/blnk4x59z/ Now things are working fine.

    Some other people might run into the same issue in the future, I don't know why this happened and nobody really knows what's going on. I called VMWare tech support, but they don't provide any help since I downloaded it for free from our CS department website. But our department tech assistance has never met this issue. So nobody to turn to.

    But anyway, pretty simple to fix: Just re-install win7 in your VMWare, if you run into the same case as I did, by opening your Virtual Machine Library.
