VNLCopyFileToSystemDir: Failed to copy file: 'C: Windows system32 drivers hcmon.sys'. (null) 32 VNLInstallHcmon: Failed to create service for hcmon driver. This looked like that there are not sufficient permissions to copy the hcmon.sys to the destination folder, although the installer told me that he is using elevated permissions. To manually remove the hcmon.sys driver from the server: Right-click My Computer and click Manage. Click Device Manager. Record video for mac. Click View Show hidden devices. Double-click Non-Plug and Play Drivers. Right-click VMware hcmon and click Uninstall. Rename the C:windowssystem32drivershcmon.sys file to hcmon.
