No dice. I reinstalled and then ran as root the first time. Here's what
I get as error messages back:

Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/setup-5583.log
modinfo: could not find module vmmon
modinfo: could not find module vmnet
modinfo: could not find module vmblock
modinfo: could not find module vmci
modinfo: could not find module vsock
modinfo: could not find module vmmon
modinfo: could not find module vmnet
modinfo: could not find module vmblock
modinfo: could not find module vmci
modinfo: could not find module vsock

I don't seen an other errors at all. the old vmware-config.pl file is
also not present.

Still searching for answers...

Cheers,

Chris
