I'm getting some gpg failures for ncurses when trying to install this package.
First occurance is here:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
ncurses-6.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 702353E0F7E48EDB)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
It then completely fails the installation at this point:

Wow! This is beautiful work, many thanks to maintainer. I love AUR.

It seems gksu was removed from official repos a few hours ago. I've simply removed this dependency in the package because VMware includes its own gksu version in case it is not installed in the system.

when I tried to compile this package, I got these errors:
==> Making package: vmware-workstation 14.1.1-2 (Sun Apr 22 11:39:38 HKT 2018)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: gksu
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
It seems that gksu is no longer alive in aur repo.

@jihem I added the following three lines to /etc/pacman.conf. The errors still show up. Thanks anyway!
IgnorePkg = vmware-workstation vmware-horizon-client
NoUpgrade = vmware-workstation vmware-horizon-client
NoExtract = vmware-workstation vmware-horizon-client

@giswqs: I'm sorry, but I don't know how I could fix it, both programs require these files. Maybe adding these files in the NoUpgrade or NoExtract setting in /etc/pacman.conf can help.

The package conflict between vmware-horizon-client and vmware-workstation was first reported by @jvybihal on 2017-09-07. I can confirm that this issue still exists. I installed vmware-workstation first, then I had to use --force to install vmware-horizon-client. Now everytime I use yaourt to update packages, it shows the following errors (32 lines). Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
error: file owned by 'vmware-horizon-client' and 'vmware-workstation': 'usr/lib/vmware/xkeymap/be101'
error: file owned by 'vmware-horizon-client' and 'vmware-workstation': 'usr/lib/vmware/xkeymap/be104'

@joelteixeira: I confirm, I also have this bug. Thanks for your detailed informations, I will investigate when I will have time.

Hello there, when using this package I can't copy a file from any guest (tried windows 10, kali, ubuntu) because it uses a wrong path. For instance, when trying to copy "test.mkv" from guest to host it will show a message saying:
The file or folder /WlgTof/test.mkv does not exist.
But the reference should be "/tmp/VMwareDnD/WlgTof/test.mkv" that is a symlink to default user folder as shown below.
myhost /tmp/VMwareDnD $ ls -lh lrwxrwxrwx 1 username users 48 fev 21 17:51 WlgTof -> /home/username/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop/WlgTof
So, the file was indeed transferred from guest to host but only the reference was wrong. I could reproduce in two machines (different hardware, DE, WM) and after uninstalling the package and using the standard bundle it works. So I believe its related with some of the patches, services, etc. Anyone else facing the same issue?
Thank you

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
