have you followed this guide here

usually vmrun start c:\My Virtual Machines\myvirtualmachine.vmx does it.

have you tried putting in quotations

e.g. vmrun start "c:\My Virtual Machines\myvirtualmachine.vmx"

Starting a virtual machine with Workstation on a Windows host
vmrun -T ws start "c:\my VMs\myVM.vmx"

change into the directory and try vmrun start myvirtualmachine.vmx
