Hello,

Apple OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) Apple OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) Apple OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) Apple OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) Installation Notes for This Release. Read the following documentation for guidance about installing and using VMware Remote Console: VMware Remote Console for vSphere; VMware Remote Console for vRealize Automation; Known Issues. Failed to install the hcmon driver. Now I've come across several simple things that should help me, but it didn't: remove vsphere client, install remote console and reinstall vsphere client; install with extra admin priviliges; Do a register workaround (enable HCmon, install, remove regkey).

This seems to be my last resort in solving this problem, I hope someone has had this issue before and can provide a new direction into solving this.

Vsphere Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 Bootable

Scenario: had an upgrade from 6.7 U1 to 6.7 U3, so took the time to install the latest remote console software (worked fine).

I couldn’t establish a session to my VM’s anymore (due to an SSL issue).

In trying to understand and solve that issue, I uninstalled my vmware software (as far as I remember, only the remote console was installed).

Ever since, I’m unable to reinstall the software.

This is the error:

Vsphere Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 32-bit

VMInstallHcmon

Failed to install the hcmon driver

Vsphere Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 64-bit

Now I’ve come across several simple things that should help me, but it didn’t:

  • remove vsphere client, install remote console and reinstall vsphere client
  • install with extra admin priviliges
  • Do a register workaround (enable HCmon, install, remove regkey)
  • …

I was unfamiliar with the hcmon.sys file before this issue started. From what I learned, this should be provided by the OS under the System32 < drivers folder.

It seems this one is missing on my device, but I’m unsure if it should be there (I also read a hcmon.sys file is being installed through the remote console installation).

To be sure, I’ve cleaned up the registry (ccleaner) and ran a sfc /scannow, which succeeded without errors.

If anyone has any other recommendation, I’d be open to it.
