I kept getting this error when I was installing the VMWare Remote Console:

Vmware Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 Pro

Failed to install the hcmon driver

Vmware Client Failed To Install Hcmon Driver Windows 10 32-bit

and then the installer would exit.

To get around this, I launched an elevated command prompt and executed the installer through the shell.

Search for cmd in your start menu and right click it.

Run as administrator. Accept the UAC prompt and change to the directory that has your VMRC installer.
