Hello
We have been running Windows 7 on a Mac using Fusion 8.5.9 and it has started complaining of missing files, causing Windows to not boot.
We we click on the Fusion icon it puts up a message that only says there is a missing file (we are running Fusion in Japanese).
I checked the console, and found these lines, that seem to indicate that the
/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config
and
/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/settings
directories and/or files are missing.
I looked and cannot find these directories. There is a preferences file under
USER/Library/Preferences/VM Ware Fusion/
however.
Could these be the culprits, and how should we repair this? We include the errors displayed by the Console when we start the app.
Best
