Recently I tried to run a VMWare image inside a Windows VM which is running on a Parallels in a Macbook Pro.
I accessed the Windows VM from mac using Parallels. Then I tried to access a VMWare image from the Windows using a VMWare Player. When I tried to run the VMWare Image, I got the below error:
Fix:
Open the .vmx file in a text editor and add the below line at the end.

I know this is an old post but any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. I tried adding vmx.allowNested = "TRUE" to the .vmx file but i stil cannot get the VM to open. Where exactly do i paste that line?

Paste it on any line in the .vmx file. It worked for me
