While working with VMware support they suspected the following...
"There might be a problem with Fabulatech hooking DLLs"
As a test, I install the VMware agent minus "Scanner" and "Serial Port" redirection. This allowed for WinSCP to start successfully.

2021-01-07 13:04 Comment When debugging the process start with the Process Monitor, one of the last real actions before the process fails are:
CloseFile C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ftusbprint.dll
RegCloseKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\FabulaTech\fthook\modules\ftusbprint
