I was having an issue with MACOS Sierra with VMWARE tools 7.1.3 and I know it is unsupported so I did the trial to the newest fusion. However, the machine is still booting the guest OS (Windows 10 Pro) into a black screen. We see the Windows log and then a black screen. I can get into safe mode no problem. I disabled the VMware video drivers and I can now get into windows guest os. However, I went to install the VMware tools hoping this will solve the issue, and I can't complete the install. I am getting Service 'VMware CAF Management Agent Service' (VMwareCAFManagementAgentHost) failed to start. Error 1053, failed to start in a timely manner. I have tried switching the user the service uses to startup the service to no availability. I can't get the tools installed without it, which will most likely fix my issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Bob
