@Zafar: Hey, this may be because your tmp dir is tmpfs, mouted with noexec. You can run mount -o remount,exec /tmp as root and then would be able to install the bundle.

@jvybihal: Thanks for your report. But these files are needed and I have no idea for a workaround. For the moment, I can just advice you to continue using --force option or add a line in the PKGBUILD to remove these files (if you are sure to keep the other package installed, of course).

I already had workstation installed bz .budle package from vmware. I wanted to install vmware-workstation package, but pacman warned me about files already exist in filesystem (obviously). So I used --force (yeah!).
Now pacman warns me, that some files are owned by two packages:

I am not having a problem, just reporting this, because there appears to be package conflict between vmware-horizon-* and vmware-workstation.

@jihem: Ok, cool! Sounds like a solid plan! Cheers!

Hello,
I keep receiving the following error when I attempt to install this pacakge:
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
/home/[username]/vmware-workstation/VMware-Workstation-Full-12.5.7-5813279.x86_64.bundle: line 302: /tmp/vmis.NauOUt/install/vmware-installer/vmware-installer: Permission denied
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
I tried commenting out that line in the bundle, but then I run into other errors. How do I fix this?
jihem commented on 2017-08-15 13:42 (UTC)
Thanks Synthead! I will try to continue maintaining this package as long as possible, that was a great idea to create it.
I think I will keep the vmware.conf file because it's the behaviour that the most part of people want. And if you don't want that, you can simply create a void file in /etc/modules-load.d/vmware.conf.
In addition, virtualbox-host-dkms contains an equivalent file, so it's also the choice of Arch maintainers.
synthead commented on 2017-08-14 21:42 (UTC)
I love seeing this package kept up to date! Thanks to all the hard work!
We probably shouldn't include /usr/lib/modules-load.d/vmware.conf into this package. If a user wants to configure their system to modprobe vmware modules at boot, it should be their choice to do so with whatever modules they want. As of now, the only way to disable probing the modules at boot would be to modify tracked files, which is a Bad Idea (tm).
jihem commented on 2017-08-14 12:20 (UTC)
@dummys: Sorry for the late answer. Unfortunetely I have no idea how to solve your problem. But you can test these workarounds:
- use command "VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=yes vmare"
- test on another kernel (for example linux-lts)
- stop all vmware services before start vmware (to verify if the problem comes from the program itself or the services)

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
