I don't know why... but in looking at the vmsetup.20120104134836.log within %TEMP% I noted:
20120104134909:INFO CPackageManager::GetFile: VMwareVmciSockets64.msi 20120104134909:INFO CMSIHelper::InitMsiParameters: MSI Parameters: 20120104134909:INFO CMSIHelper::InitMsiLogging: Successfully enabled logging to file C:\Users\dan\AppData\Local\Temp\vmsetup.20120104134836.vmwarevmcisockets64.msi.install.log, with mode 7967 20120104134909:INFO CInstallMSIOperation::Execute: Preparing to install VMwareVmciSockets64.msi, options: uninstall_on_rollback: 1, use_internal_ui: 0, parameters: 20120104134916:INFO CInstallMSIOperation::Execute: Finished installing msi [0] 20120104134916:INFO CBootstrapCmd::RunOperation: Operation 'InstallMSI' completed successfully with return code 65537There is no user "dan" on my machine, so the above path would not work. I do not know why Vmware was looking for Dan... as far as I know Dan has never used my machine, and there is no reference in the registry to a "Dan".
However, creating the directory where it was trying to create the file allowed the installation to finish without an issue.
Hopefully this ends up helping someone else out as well.
