Host: Ubuntu 13.10 kernel 3.9.0-6-generic
Attempted guest: Windows 8 N
The program (VMware e.x.p) installed without errors according to the installer (this needs to be fixed since in fact the installation was not successful).
Serial number was insted via CLI
Upon starting the VM
------------------------------------------------------
Failed to open device "/dev/vmci": No such file or directory
Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmci' is loaded.
Module DevicePowerOn power on failed.
Failed to start the VM
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is correct - there is no such device vmci.
From the installer log:
Virtual machine monitor done
Virtual machine communication interface failed
VM communication interface socket family failed
Blocking file system done

Complete log is attached if it helps/
