This error pops up every time (both VMware Player and Workstation) and never is able to install at all. I stopped installation after the temp file is created and ran the MSI file directly. It now fails on 'hcmon driver unable to install'. I posted this on the VMware forum, no help for 3 days now, I am stuck.
I extracted the setup and ran the msi, hcmon fails to install. I am on Windows 8 and user account is Administrator. I tried every solution there is with no progress at all. Some things I tried are
I use the latest VMware player 5.1 and tried the previous ones.
On the other hand Virtualbox installed fine and no problem with it at all. Maybe is this conflicting? Unfortunately the Blackberry 10 simulator is a VMX file. No support for virtualbox. Any help?
Error log for the setup.exe, here's an excerpt:

I had the same problem, turns out that it was the
hcmon driver. It was already installed, I tried to remove it and then it all worked like a charm.
Manually remove the hcmon.sys driver:

Installing 6.0.1 failed on my system. Even unpacking the .exe wouldn't work. The 6.0.0 installer had the same problem, the installer seemed corrupt. Downloading it from a different location solved it.
