The installation of the VMware Remote Console (VMRC) fails. You see the error: VMInstallHcmon - Failed to install hcmon driver. Solution 3: Remove the hcmon.sys driver. The HCMON driver might be installed. One possible solution is to remove the hcmon.sys driver. Follow these steps: 1) Go to Device Manager. 2) Click View Show hidden devices. 3) Double-click Non-Plug and Play Drivers. 4) Right-click hcmon and click Uninstall. 6) Delete the C: Windows system32 drivers.

I kept getting this error when I was installing the VMWare Remote Console:
Failed to install the hcmon driver
and then the installer would exit.
To get around this, I launched an elevated command prompt and executed the installer through the shell.

Run as administrator. Accept the UAC prompt and change to the directory that has your VMRC installer.
