hello guys im in a serious trouble here
i had vm ware working and all my vm servers
but now this thingie refuses to install the network adapters.None of them work
im using windows 8.1 x64 with nvidia nforce 720 integrated ethernet

"Host-only support does not seem to be installed."

"Cannot change network to bridged:there are no un-bridged host network adapters"
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net start vmnetbridge
The service name is invalid.
i tried vnetlib64.exe -- install devices but after a few blinks it does nothing
tried reinstalling with antivirus off,uninstalled using revouninstaller and deleted all registry things and do a clean install but i have same trouble
the other services(vmwareNAT and vmwareDHCP) are running but none seems to work
so i cant acces my vms

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks


EDIT: fixed
procedure:
1)delete HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DeviceInstall\Parameters\DeviceInstallDisabled
1.a) disable any antivirus
2)elevated console,put net start DeviceInstall
3) reinstall VmWare workstation
4)open vmnetcfg.exe and click restore defaults

please close thread,if anyone has trouble ask mod to reopen it
