I used the default user “Mark” for the “Easy” VMware installs of Win7-x86 and Win7-64. On the install that worked this led to extra steps: Creating “Admin” as an Administrator and converting “Mark” to a Standard User.
In the future use user name “Admin” for the Easy Install. Don’t use “Administrator” because it may conflict with the built-in Administrator account, if that still exists in Win7.

Installed fine, and the Downloads box never did anything.

… just one issue. Apparently after the VMware “Easy Install” is still trying to log on to account Mark every boot. After creating Admin and User accounts, and giving user Mark a password, this shows up on boot.
After the Admin logon “Log off” shows the expected screen. Going to ignore this for now.

This never did anything… Killing it. (ESET didn’t block it.)
Drat.
Can’t find anything in vmware kb or communities.
