Can you try something? Go to %USERPROFILE%\VMware and reset all permissions (right click on the folder, select 'properties', go to 'security' tab, click on 'advanced, 'change permissions', and check both boxes - i.e. 'Include inheritable permissions...' and 'Replace all child ...') Check that your account has modify permissions.
Do the same with your temp folder. If it is a permission issue, this should work around it.
