I followed this instruction but still having the broken pipe problem:
I had the the same problem, and tried the steps recommended by other users such as uninstalling and re-installing, going to System Preferences, ensuring Full Disk Access and Accessibility is allowed. None of that worked. I am running the latest update Mojave on a late 2013 27" iMac and VMWare Version 11.0.3 (12992109) What worked for me:
- First, uninstall VMWare completely.
- Check this directory in Terminal: /Library/StagedExtensions/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts
- If you see all the VMWare kexts there, then follow the steps below. You will not be able to delete these even with sudo
- Reboot to Recovery (CMD+R)
- Make sure your Macintosh HD (or main HD) is mounted (check in Disk Utiltiy). This will not be automatically mounted if you are using APFS with encryption.
- In the Utilities menu, open Terminal
- Enter this command:
cd /Library - Folowed by:
rm -rf ./StagedExtensions/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app
For #1, I uninstalled by deleting the VMWare app in the application folder.
For #2, when I put it in the Terminal it says "no such file or directory found".
