It's that simple. I'm clicking the shortcut and nothing happens.
I've reinstalled it several times but with no success.
OS: Windows 7
Player: VMware-player-5.0.2-1031769
It worked last year but then I didn't use it for some time and now it don't start.
My guess is it's a vcredist incompatibility issue. I remember that I uninstalled some of unused ones from my system, but I left the freshest ones. And it seems to me (maybe I'm wrong) that the ones shipped with Player don't get installed anymore, as there are more recent versions, but Player is incompatible with them.
I have the following vcredists now:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.4148 9.0.30729.4148
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable - 10.0.40219 10.0.40219
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable - 10.0.40219 10.0.40219
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable 8.0.59193
