VMware Workstation 15.5 Installation Failure - 'USB inf' and 'hcmon' installation failures Anyone know of a fix for this? Racking my brain trying fixes, and wondering if there's any way to get this to go through. These warnings appear to be caused by hcmon.sys which is used by VMware Player to detect USB ports becoming active. Sounds like you use USB 3 which is not supported on Windows hosts. Based on my search, you could go into services and disabled vmware usb arbitration service then you could test vmware to see if it still works. Install VMWare View Client. After the successful installation, Disable HCMON by deleting the EnableHCMON registry entry. Altogether Reboot the endpoint again, I hope this help.
