If you click on "Install this driver software anyway", the installation will continue, but the installation wizard will then revert the changes made. This error is due to the fact that the SHA-2 algorithm is not supported by default by Windows 7 and therefore Windows is not able to verify the digital signature of the drivers to be installed. You should only install driver software from publishers you trust. The driver software you're attempting to install does not have a valid digital signature that verifies who published it, and could potentially be malicious software. If you click on "See details" you will also see this : When you install the version 15.5.5 or 15.5.6 of VMware Workstation, a "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software" error is displayed in red. Install VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.5 on Windows 7.Indeed, VMware Workstation Pro 16 requires at least Windows 8. The " VMware-workstation-full-15.5.6-16341506.exe" installation file is still available on the official VMware server.
Important : the version 15.5.6 is the latest version available for Windows 7. Indeed, since version 15.5.5 of VMware Workstation, VMware signs its drivers with the SHA-2 algorithm.īut this algorithm is not supported by default on Windows 7. If you are still on Windows 7 and Windows is not up to date, you have probably encountered a problem installing VMware Workstation 15.5.5 or 15.5.6.
