Windows Failed To Install Driver VSphere 6.5 GA: VMware-VMRC.exe – Failed to install hcmon driver. November 30, 2016 December 1, 2016 rdronov Leave a comment After upgrading the vCenter Server Appliance to version 6.5, I needed to install a new version of VMware Remote Console 9.0 on my Windows 10 machine. Failed to install the hcmon driver. Now I've come across several simple things that should help me, but it didn't: remove vsphere client, install remote console and reinstall vsphere client; install with extra admin priviliges; Do a register workaround (enable HCmon, install, remove regkey). Nov 17, 2015 it did not worked for me on windows 10 build 1607 it may help someone else: my user is in administrator group and as a workaround i switched user (ctrl-alt del - switch user and choosed administrator) and then i ran the msi as administrator and it installed properly.

  Failed to install the HCmon driver
  Workaround: Go to Task Manager, Services tab, and stop the VMUSBArbService. Then, proceed with installation.
