What's new in this version:

When you use 64-bit VIX API to control virtual machines, the API breaks:
- The 32-bit components of the VIX API are packaged in the 64-bit directory, which causes a break when you use 64-bit VIX API. This issue is resolved.
- When you use Easy Install to install CentOS 7.0, the installation might stop at "WELCOME TO CENTOS 7" page. This issue is resolved.
- When you use the Easy Install option with the Windows Server 2016 guest operating system, the virtual machine displays a black screen. This issue is resolved.
- After installing VMware Tools version 10.0.0 on a FreeBSD 10.x virtual machine, the guest might not shut down properly when performed from the VMware Workstation Pro interface. When you install VMware Tools version 10.0.0 on a FreeBSD 10.x virtual machine, the VMware Tools service, vmtoolsd, might not launch. The VMware Tools service runs in the background and is responsible for a variety of operations. A symptom you might encounter is that the guest operating system does not shout down as intended when performed from the VMware Workstation Pro interface. For example, the first attempt to shutdown the guest from the interface might fail while the second attempt from the interface is converted into a virtual machine power off operation instead of a graceful shutdown. This issue is resolved.

Virtual machines fail to start on a host with an Intel Skylake processor:
- A compatibility issue might prevent a virtual machine from starting on a host with an Intel Skylake processor when the Gather Debugging Information option in the virtual machine's advanced settings is set to Full. The error message displayed includes ASSERT vmcore/vmm/cpu/fpu.c:347. This issue is resolved.
