Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes. I am trying to install vagrant-vmware-utility, but the installer reports that VMware is not installed. However, VMware is already installed on my machine. I am using the newer VMware version 26H1, and it seems that vagrant-vmware-utility does not detect this version correctly.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like vagrant-vmware-utility to support and correctly detect VMware 26H1 during installation. The installer should recognize this version as a valid VMware installation and allow the installation to continue.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have considered reinstalling VMware and vagrant-vmware-utility, but the issue appears to be related to version detection rather than a missing VMware installation. I have also considered using an older VMware version, but I would prefer to keep using the latest VMware release.

Additional context VMware is already installed and working on my system, but vagrant-vmware-utility still shows an error saying that VMware is not installed. This may be caused by the installer only checking for older VMware versions or older installation paths/registry entries, and not recognizing the new 26H1 release.
