What are vnetstats.exe Error Messages?

vnetstats.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are VMWare Workstation Player errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when vnetstats.exe is attempted to be loaded either when VMWare Workstation Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using VMWare Workstation Player.

In most cases, vnetstats.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these vnetstats.exe error messages mean that VMWare Workstation Player was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, VMWare Workstation Player will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common vnetstats.exe errors include:

vnetstats.exe - Bad Image.
vnetstats.exe Application Error.
vnetstats.exe could not be found.
vnetstats.exe could not be installed.
vnetstats.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
vnetstats.exe could not be started.
vnetstats.exe failed to initialize properly.
vnetstats.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
vnetstats.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
vnetstats.exe is not running.
Cannot find vnetstats.exe.
Error starting program: vnetstats.exe.
Faulting Application Path: vnetstats.exe.
The file vnetstats.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - vnetstats.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because vnetstats.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the vnetstats.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting vnetstats.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using VMware Workstation. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of VMware, Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of vnetstats.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the vnetstats.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your vnetstats.exe File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate vnetstats.exe file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free vnetstats.exe files for every applicable version of VMWare Workstation Player.

Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\

Download vnetstats.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying vnetstats.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. VMware typically does not release VMWare Workstation Player EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing vnetstats.exe and all other EXE files for VMWare Workstation Player. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
