* A caveat: Even after this process, I found there was still an odd permissions error on the host (from vmrun command) that sometimes occurred. I wasn't able to work around that yet, and it only seemed to relate to VMWare Player installations, even the current (at time of writing) version 16.
* The background "vmrun.exe" and linked "vix.dll" files still occasionally have problems with VMWare Player, this is not a fault of the Vimalin software but something that isn't working nicely in VMWare
* Again after many hours, the only solution (not really a solution) was to copy back a previous working version of the VM and it started working again. I really have no idea why the "vmrun" works for a while and then stops...
This only seems to apply to VMWare Player, so far all versions of VMWare Workstation tested worked correctly.
