Greetings,
We are running 64-bit Windows 10 Enterprise workstations. We have installed the 64-bit version of VMware Workstaion 12 Pro (File Version 12.1.0.2487) as a trial. It has failed at the first hurdle.
When we start VMware Workstation, open the Task Manager, and we see that VMware Workstation (32 bit) is listed in the Apps Processes. Very Strange! Further investigation shows that VMware Workstation is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\. Now, that's a very strange place for a 64-bit application to be installed - it should install into C:\Program Files\.
So, this leads to two questions:
1) Why does VMware install its 64-bit application into the Windows 32-bit installation folder?
2) Is VMware cheating us by claiming that their product is 64-bit while it is, in fact, only 32-bit?
Regards
Joe.
