I came across the following error after I configured McAfee EPO access protection policies:
This needs to be disabled in your epo: Anti-virus Standard Protection:Prevent remote creation/modification of executable and configuration files
Also you need to give vmtools access to run on your temp folders explicitly.
Anti-spyware Maximum Protection:Prevent all programs from running files from the Temp folder
