I have recently upgraded to VMware® Workstation 17 Pro (17.5.2 build-23775571). The shell menu option to mount a virtual disk (vmdk) is missing.
I downloaded VMware-mount-5.5.0-18463.exe hoping to bring back disk mount functionality, but the installer failed with a cryptic error message, stating that installation was interrupted without giving any more information. Screenshot attached.
I am using Windows 10 Pro edition ver. 22H2 build 19045.4529.
@JohnZCzRequest you to share vminst and vmmsi logs from %temp% folder.
@JohnZCz I misunderstood the actual issue, the utility of mapping/mounting vmdk file is discontinued.
Let us know in case there is another issue specific to WS you are facing.
