missing VMWare VM after installing VM Workstation 12.5.1
I've been using VM Workstation for over a year under a guru-licensing plan. Given that the program management of that program has been outsourced and is totally unresponsive, I downloaded 12.5 on a trial mode and was going good, but that 30 license passed and still no useful info from guru-licensing so I bit the bullet and purchased 12.5.1.
Upon completion of that installation, one of the Virtual Machines that I've been using under the guru-licensing and the unlicensed download is now missing when I open VM Workstation. Anybody have any idea how to locate that file?

I have been using and upgrading VMware Workstation for years and never lost a machine. Most recently, I did an in-place upgrade to 12.5.1 and all remained intact.
Search as suggested and the look in VMware Preferences and see where it thinks the machines are.

I've had many disappear!
but they've not been erased! Just missing from the Dashboard.

Thanks, Andrew. That did it. Strangely, the filename of the VM was not the same as the name on the tab once I opened it, which is what was driving me crazy.
