If you have a little bit experience with Windows PE or ever booted Windows into the recovery mode I recommend to use that workaround.
Had to reinstall Windows once because of this too - so I needed an alternate way myself.
Boot into PE
find the driveletter for the affected Windows - lets assume E:
start regedit and hilight HKLM.
Cleck File > load hive and select E:\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM
Assign a name for the hive - lets assume X
Then go to HKLM\X\controlset001 and start a search for "vmnetbridge" and "vmware"
To uninstall vmnetbridge at least locate the servicename
HKLM\X\Controlset001\services\vmnetbridge
and the references to vmnetbridge in
HKLM\X\Controlset001\Control\Class
HKLM\X\Controlset001\Control\Network
and delete them.
That still may fail and in that case you may need to modify the permissions for those keys.
I dont recommend to try this at all unless you are used to editing the registry itself.
But unfortunately the current installers are not as good as we were used to in previous versions.
Windows 10 also adds to the problem.
I have a list for the registry keys that have to be removed but I made it using Win2012.
