I installed WMWare VMPlayer, then installed the HyperV role. I am now trying to uninstall the VMPlayer, but it won't let me:
What can I do to uninstall VMPlayer (short of uninstalling HyperV)?

Does VMWare Player show up in 'Programs and Features' ?– EthabelleFeb 22, 2012 at 19:35

@Ethabelle Yes, it does. That's where I am uninstalling it from.– AngryHackerFeb 22, 2012 at 19:50

Why not just uninstall the Hyper-V role, uninstall VMware Player, reinstall the Hyper-V role, and be done with it?– joeqwertyFeb 22, 2012 at 20:34

@joeqwerty Because I spent a ton of time getting HyperV into the right state and don't want to risk losing it.– AngryHackerFeb 22, 2012 at 21:43

sounds like you'll need to hack the registry to kinda remove the app.– tony rothFeb 22, 2012 at 22:34

May this post could help:

only chance :add a bootoption to the server so it can start with disabled HyperV
At the command prompt, type the following:
bcdedit /copy {default} /d "No Hypervisor"
The above command should say: The entry was successfully copied to {guid}. Copy that guid to the clipboard including the curly braces.
Now, type the following command:
bcdedit /set {guid_hvoff} hypervisorlaunchtype off
In the above command, replace {guid_hvoff} with what you copied in step 2. The above command just sets a property in the boot entry that will not load the hypervisor on boot.
then reboot into No HyperV Option and uninstall
