Vmware Remote Console Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10

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.

Search for cmd in your start menu and right click it.

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