I think thats because the original installation process was interrupted.
If that happens - the install is borked.

The best thing at this point is to uninstall, delete C:\Program Files\Untangle, reinstall

edit: btw, it was probably us who interrupted it that time you got the blue screen...
especially if that was a new install.

I installed using "myadmin" account. It is a local admin account. The account is in the Administrator Group.

BTW, I now see the vmware-vmx.exe running as a process with mem usage 567,688K, which I never saw it ran before.

Thanks

Can you try tbelote's above proceedure.
Basically that runs it as the SYSTEM user in the foreground.

See if it asks to agree the license and make you manually enable shared folders...

I'll reinstall and see.

I tried tbelote's suggestion and now see the vmware-vmx.exe in the processes tab running wheras never saw it before. It never prompted me for a license. The shared folder is currently set for "Always enabled". The host path is "C:\Program Files\Untangle\shared" and it's atrtributes is set to "enabled"

I'm rebooting the laptop now and will let it run without interrupting by launching the vmware console and will report back.

before you launch the console - let it start and see if it starts as a service first...

It's been 20min without interruption and the vmware-vmx.exe is not showing up in the task manager processes. When you refer to running as a service, what is the name of the service? The only service related to untangle I see in the services are:

Untangle Started Automatic Local System
VMware Authorization Service Started Automatic Local System
VMware DHCP Service Started Automatic Local System
VMware NAT Service Started Automatic Local System
VMware Virtual Mount Mgr Ext. Started Automatic Local System

The Untangle is still saying "Starting"
