It did work, but not exactly the way you wrote:
- Started the installation, made choices like folder etc., but did not proceed when I got to the "Continue" button -> the same
- Navigated to the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp" folder, and copied the temp folder that was now present there (it is removed once you get the error message) to another folder (it is called
"vmware_XXXXXXXXXX", where the XXXXXXXXXX is a unique number each time it seems). -> the same - Clicked "Continue" and ... installation worked correctly
Very good, anyway
