Problem with installing VMware

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

I am trying to install VMware 4.5.2, but when I ran (as root)

[root at localhost vmware-distrib]# perl vmware-install.pl

I get the following error

«Before running VMware Workstation for the first time, you need to configure it
by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this
program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

sh: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl: Permission denied»

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
