Hi Kevin,
My hat off to you for your experiments and getting Vimalin to work with older versions of VMware Player.
The problem with getting VIX to install and work properly under VMware Player versions before version 16.0 is the main reason that it was not viable to support older VMware Player versions "out of the box".
Basically because it is too hard to get VIX/vmrun to play nice.
Starting with VMware Player 16.x this part tends to work well and as such it was much easier for me to add support for VMware Player as well.
I'm not sure what is happening with the "caveat" part, in theory.. once the VIX part works, Vimalin should work too.
Is this the same issue as the --reload issue you talked about in your other thread or is it something else?
If you can reproduce it I can take a look at it, email me the support bundle (create from the help menu) to support@vimalin.com and maybe we can figure it out together.
At the very least I can take a look to see if something stands out to me.
