If you have working VMWare images then you might (in the short term -
until you solve this problem) get the VMWare Player and use it to run
what you need right now.

I found that once I had set up a few Windows images I didn't need
Workstation anymore. True, it has some nice features, but I wasn't
using them.

I use the Pentoo overlay for my copy of the Player. I'm sure it's
available elsewhere.

Cheers,
