What's new in this version:

Download All Components Now button not working:
- When you navigate to Player > File > Player Preferences and click the Download All Components Now button, the button does not work as intended.
- Workaround: Update your installation of Player by selecting Check for software components as needed in the Player Preferences dialog. Workstation or Player on Windows freezes if another application is frozen:
- What's going on: Workstation or Player incorrectly attempts to communicate with the frozen application and is stuck waiting for it to respond. Virtual machine hangs while powering off:
- Rarely, virtual machines will cease functioning (hang) while powering off, particularly if the guest OS was in the middle of a BSOD or kernel panic.
- Workaround: If the virtual machine hangs while powering off, you may have to terminate the vmx process manually. Updating to Workstation 10.0.1 should resolve the issue. Easy Install does not recognize RTM builds of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 disc:
- In the new virtual machine wizard, when you select a disc or ISO of the RTM build of Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2, the image is not recognized. Easy Install does not work with the RTM builds of those operating systems.
