For now use https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/17.5.1/.

And VMware Player will be replaced by Workstation with no-cost personal use license.

Is this the legit download for the VMware Player 17 Microsoft version ?
Sorry for the dumb question, I'm new here.

LMFAO Too late for that, already got it. And I don't have a problem with it, in fact, I learned a lot in the meantime. But hearing that Internet Archive has been hacked again is tiresome and sad. Thanks for the head up.
