Received notice to update my VMware Workstation 8 setup to 8.0.3 build 703057.
I downloaded and installed the update. It didn't require a reboot in the middle as it used to do with 7.x (which is nice).
When finished, I launched it. None of my "Favorites" were shown. I had to re-open all of my stored VM's one by one.
Each one I opened said it couldn't open the VMX because it was in use by another process, even though no virtual machines were powered up (before or after the update).
I rebooted.
Went to open one of my VM's and it said the VMX was not a "valid configuration file" and refused to open it.
I was able to open several other VM's. Each one prompted to update VMware Tools.
I updated VMware Tools in each one, did a VM restart on each, and saved new Base Snapshots for each one.
Total time consumed: 1 hour.
