here is the screenshot when i delete the .lck extension folder from the vmware workstation folder and again starts the vmware workstation then there are again some errors those errors are showing below.
here is the screenshot of this error.. please suggest me what to do. Thanks I'm trying to start a virtual machine I created in VMware Player and it isn't starting. I get an error everytime that says: "Error while powering on. VMware Player cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files. Failed to connect pipe to virtual machine. The system cannot find the file specified." I've tried re-installing VMware, deleted and recreated the virtual machine, stopped and restarted all VMware services, ran sfc /scannow and DISM tools in a command prompt. All of which have not fixed the problem. I'm seeing a prompt during installation that says something about Windows Hypervisor Platform. I'm not sure what this is. Do I need it to make VMware work? Its not just VMware either, Hyper-V is doing it too. What do I do to fix this? It's getting very frustrating... No matter which iso files I download, regardless of the site I get it from, when I make an ISO file, I get this error:
Before that it gives me another error, telling me to collect support data. I do and it makes no difference. It didn't used to do this for Kali Linux, but it will do it for both my Windows VMs. Now it does it for Kali and even Ubuntu. Why is it doing this? How do I fix this? I am trying to install an OVA file VM through VMware Player - I keep getting the error " Error while powering on: VMware Player cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files. Failed to connect pipe to virtual machine: The system cannot find the file specified." I have tried uninstalling VMware Player, using VMware Workstation, stopping and starting the services, different OVA files and the same error comes up consistently,Virtualisation is enabled in BIOS of my host which is my laptop running Windows 7 SP1. Any help would be welcome as this is wasting a lot of time. Thanks John Posted by harjeet_matharu 2017-04-30T09:30:30Z Hello there, I am getting error - Failed to
connect pipe to virtual machine. The system cannot find the path specified, while powering on virtual machine. I have already tried restarting VMware Authorization service. Running VMware as Admin didn't help either. It was working all fine until yesterday and suddenly stopped working.I am using VMware Workstation 12 Pro on Windows 10 Pro machine with full local admin privileges. I would appreciate a quick fix on this issue. check
Best Answer Edit: I have multiple VMware machines and the error appears while running any of them so I believed that its not an issue with the VMware machines but the VMware Workstation and I was right. So I did a complete uninstall of VMware Workstation from Programs and then registry as well. Restarted the computer and reinstalled VMware Workstation. Added the machine to VMware again and all of them opened flawlessly. :) The issue is now RESOLVED. 0 of 1 found this helpful thumb_up thumb_down View Best Answer in replies below 40 Replies

Why does VMware say file not found?VMware Fusion displays a File Not Found error message, as it is unable to find the virtual machine registered in the Virtual Machine Library. To resolve the issue, remove the missing virtual machine entry from the Virtual Machine Library and re-open the virtual machine from the saved virtual machine directory.
Why is my VMware not connecting?Go to Network and Sharing Center > select Change adapter settings > right-click "VMware Network Adapter VMnet1" (you might see the red x on it) > select Diagnose > do the same for "VMware Network Adapter VMnet8". Some users also reported that disabling the network adapters and then running diagnose could fix the issue.
