Workstation Player V15 trying to open existing VM on new install of Mint 19.1 Nothing happens?

Hi,

I recently discovered my Windows 10 VM running in WS Player 15 on my Linux Mint box was needing more disk space. As I was thinking of doing a clean install of my Mint 19.1 box and adding some new disks I backed up the VMWare folder in my home directory which contained the Windows 10 VM along with all my other stuff and then added my new disks and recreated my Mint 19.1 install.

 

Because on the new machine I had dedicated a 1TB SSD for VM (it was previously using about 300GB on my old set up) I moved the VMWare folder with the VM files in it to the new SSD.  I then installed WS Player 15 and opened it and according to the help information all I had to do was navigate to the Windows 10 .vmx file and open it and this would add it to my library.  So I did this and when I clicked to open the file nothing happens, the dialog closes and nothing else appears??

 

Can anyone point me to a log file or something that might explain why the open is failing?

 

I get no error messages or anything just nothing happens?
