Need help with installing package for VMWare app

Postby theburrus1 » Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:05

Hi, so I downloaded an app for Linux for VMware Workstation. The instructions given to install the app were this:

However, when I do these commands, I get the following errors:

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Within the package file downloaded, the files appears under properties as an "application-x file" if that info is needed. Thanks.

In my case was VMWare Player, which I could not make run due to their incompatibility with my kernel (3.0-r10).
I did not need to make it executable.
I just changed the directory where the bundle was, and, as su, I have issued:

Code: Select all
sh VMware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle


I did not sudo, as I was su.

You could add some parameters. Look here: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/ws_pubs.html
There I have took some docs that explained step by step how to install.

Hope it helps.
