    Kali 19.1 issues when installing as virtual on VMware Workstation 15

    Hi,

    I tried to search for this issue for existing treads, but I couldn't find, so let me place my issues what I am experiencing here.

    I have a Dell laptop 5370 and already have installed 18.4 without any issues.

    Since 19.1 is out, I started a clean install, with the pre-OS Debian 9x 64. When installing 19.1 on VMware Workstation Pro 15.0.2 build-10952284, during installation the mouse doesn't work and in the middle of the installation, no NIC can be found. This is crazy since VMware offers a virtual NIC.

    To make sure that 19.1 is fine, I downloaded 19.1 again and it still shows me these two issues. I also have VirtualBox 5.2.24 r128163 (Qt5.6.2), so installing 19.1 runs smoothly, so the issue is related with VMware.

    I installed both 32x and 64x Installation in VMware, both are having issues.

    To make sure that VMware is fine, I installed 18.4 again, and that runs smoothly. And yes, my laptop already had a cold restart.

    I also experienced with the amount of RAM, CPU and disk, and also placed an external mouse; that external mouse even didn't work with 19.1 in VMware.

    Could the issue be related to specific Dell hardware in combination with VMware Workstation?

    Many thanks, and let me know what more information is needed to analyse further.


    ==== Update 1 ===
    I download the pre-installed VMware 19.1 x64 version, that worked. I figured out that this was built with VMware version 8.x, so I upgraded the asset to VMware 15.x. That also worked.

    ==== Update 2 ===
    Installing the 19.1 ISO in VMware version 8x and 9x works well; installing 10x till 15x are having issues.
