Internal Error in VMware player

Encountered error opening up the VMs in VMware player 6.0.x with "Error while powering on: Internal error"

It turns out that the "VMware Authorization Service" service must be enabled. You may need administrator rights if you are running as a normal user. This problem will happen even if the service is already set as "automatic".

Once the service is started up, the error will go away.
